Amar'e Stoudemire has a lot of tread on his proverbial tires. But that isn't stopping a handful of teams from looking at enlisting the 2003 Rookie of the Year's services for the 2015-16 season.
The Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns and both Los Angeles-based teams have expressed interest in signing the 32-year-old unrestricted free agent, ESPN's Chris Broussard reports.
The team with which Stoudemire finished this past season, the Dallas Mavericks, are also reportedly hoping to strike a deal with the forward.
Stoudemire had recently voiced his delight about his brief time with the Mavs, however, he was transparent about his desire to field offers from other suitors as well.
It's likely that Dallas will wait to see what happens with DeAndre Jordan and other potential free-agent signings before the team decides on an action plan regarding Stoudemire.
Stoudemire was bought out by the New York Knicks days before February's trade deadline. Dallas then swooped in and nabbed him, shoring up its frontcourt depth.
In 23 games with the Mavs, Stoudemire averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 16.5 minutes per game.
