NBA Free Agency: Knicks Reportedly Offer Amar’e Stoudemire A Max Contract
Amar’e Stoudemire and the New York Knicks are making progress in talks on a five-year maximum guaranteed contract and a deal could be completed as soon as Friday, league sources told Y! Sports.
The framework of a deal is in place and the two sides are expected to talk again soon, sources said.
The contract is expected to be worth around $100 million for the five years. The Suns offered Stoudemire $96 million for five years, but only the first three years were fully guaranteed, so Stoudemire rejected it.
