Stoudemire Opens Up On Trade Rumors

Amare Stoudemire spoke as though he already had his bags packed on Friday night, the Arizona Republic is reporting, before saying he wanted to remain a Phoenix Sun forever.

"It's kind of good that a lot of teams want me right now," said Stoudemire. "That's positive. Obviously, probably a little bit of financial decision going on. Probably trying to clear things up from their standpoint. A lot of times, when something like this happens it's more of a business move than anything else."

"I know for sure, wherever I go, we're going to definitely be playoff contenders. I bring a lot to the table."

Including a disproportionately large head and much baggage.

This sucks.

Amare will never play for the Spurs , ever! He already said he wants to be the main guy on the team...

He'll be on the Suns forever, I'm so mad that I'll be watching a team build around Amare from 2010-2013. Sarver is still convinced the son he never had is a franchise player. Only reason he hasn't been traded and will never be traded.

The Suns missed their chance before last season to get Garnett for Amare, and it has been downhill ever since. The mantra that Suns fans have been repeating about the Spurs for 2 years now actually applies to them: too old.

I have my doubts about how much McHale shot that trade down compared to Kerr, because I know D'antoni had a lot control at the time and would have definitely been in favor of Amare 4 KG.

Amare can bring defense and veteran leadership to the team he was traded from.

Nets may be interested in Amare.
