In the most unsurprising of reports, Andrea Bargnani and Amar'e Stoudemire will accept large sums of money from the New York Knicks to play basketball next season.

The deadline for Stoudemire is Tuesday and Bargnani's is Wednesday, but ESPNNewYork sources say both players informed the Knicks that they'll stay right where they are.

Stoudemire is set to make $23.4 million next season, and Bargnani is owed $11.5.

And, Stoudemire is apparently looking to intensify his training in the hope that he'll be productive and healthy next season.

via Instagram:  Feels good to finish training, then enjoy the game of golf.

That's a $23.4 million swing, folks.
