Pooh25 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 http://www.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/wiretap/photos/2006/Stoudemire_Amare_nyk_101410.jpg Amar'e Stoudemire left the Suns as a free agent and decided to join the Knicks for fame, fortune and a better chance to win an NBA title. New York doesn't have the core needed to contend now but even after signing Stoudemire to a $100 million contract, they have the future cap space to make a splash. Stoudemire also left Phoenix because he felt the Suns were watching their window to contend close. "From my standpoint it's longevity and being able to build a team for a championship-caliber team," Stoudemire said. "That was my goal in Phoenix." "I wanted to make sure that we're looking forward to the future and being able to bring in other star players to help win a championship," Stoudemire added. "I felt that wasn't going to happen in that situation. I wanted to go to a team willing to build a championship quality team." Via Frank Isola/New York Daily News Discuss.

Check my Stats Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 He left because the Suns weren't offering fully guaranteed money like the Knicks were. I don't care what he, or anyone else, says. His decision was a matter of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
