Another potential free agent could be off the NBA market well before it even opens. And while that might be bad news for the Knicks and Nets, it could be good news for David Lee.
Suns forward Amar'e Stoudemire, a possible prime target of the Knicks and Nets this summer, has been offered a contract extension, according to Fanhouse.com, which quoted a source as saying that the two sides are "getting closer (financially) to where they should be."
Stoudemire is owed $17.6 million next season but can opt out of his contract on June 30, which seemed like a foregone conclusion earlier in the season. But the Web site reported on Friday that the Suns are now "determined" to keep Stoudemire and offered him an extension last week.
