    He didn't have an official meeting with the Knicks or Bulls yet. He did meet with the Heat, but they made their first offer to Bosh. They're going to wait to hear from their first choice before making an offer to Stoudamire.

    Did he meet with the Nets or Rockets yet?

    Also, if this was in another thread then I'm sorry i didn't spot it.

    That's his agent talking. His agents want the other teams to step up with an offer. Amare is clearly second banana to Bosh on this market. Most teams are waiting for Bosh before they turn to him, even his own team doesn't seem to want him back.

    IF the proposed deal from the Rox is on the table for both teams and I assume both Amar'e and Bosh get max deals, what happens if Amar'e accepts the Rox assumed offer before Bosh?

    The Knicks are the only ones today that offered him the max. No way Miami, NJ, or Chicago would, since the max for Amare is higher than the max for Wade/Bosh/James, and Miami/CHI are already asking those guys to take slightly less than the max (~$16M) so they can sign multiple players.

    Knicks are the only team going all in on Amare, because they know they're striking out with the true elite.

    I don't really think that's gonna make a difference, because the Rockets will just wait for Bosh to make his decision before accepting Stoudemire. Right now, Stoudemire really has no choice but to wait until Bosh makes his decision first. No team is going to sign him until they know for a fact they are out of the running for Bosh.
