DALLAS (AP) – A person with direct knowledge of the talks says Amare Stoudemire has agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks after taking a buyout from the Knicks.
The veteran forward can’t make his verbal commitment official until he clears waivers on Wednesday.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn’t official, told The Associated Press on Monday night that Stoudemire could be available when Dallas returns from the All-Star break Thursday at Oklahoma City.
The 32-year-old Stoudemire was waived Monday after requesting the Knicks buy out the remainder of his contract that was set to expire after this season. He’s likely to clear waivers.
Dallas has needed frontcourt help since trading Brandan Wright in a deal that brought point guard Rajon Rondo from Boston.
