Amare Stoudemire has new home. Just a few days after leaving the New York Knicks, Amare Stoudemire will play for the Dallas Mavericks.
According to ESPN,
Amar’e Stoudemire has committed to joining the Dallas Mavericks, according to league sources, giving him a chance to compete for a championship and adding much-needed frontcourt depth to a Western Conference contender’s bench.
Stoudemire, who negotiated a buyout with the New York Knicks over the weekend and was officially waived Monday, committed to the Mavs for the remainder of the season on Monday.
The contract will not become official until Stoudemire clears waivers on Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET, making him a free agent. His $23.4 million salary essentially makes the waivers process a formality.
RealGM.com earlier reported Stoudemire’s commitment to the Mavs.
The Los Angeles Clippers and the Phoenix Suns were among the playoff contenders that expressed interest in Stoudemire, a six-time All-Star who averaged 12 points and 6.8 rebounds in 36 games with the Knicks this season
