Last week, Stoudemire announced his retirement from the NBA.

Monty Williams has a standing job offer from the San Antonio Spurs that he's likely to accept.

Williams' wife, Ingrid Williams, passed away in a car accident in February. Williams then took a leave of absence from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The specifics of what role Williams would fill and how much time he could commit have not yet been determined, but sources say San Antonio has opened the door to either a coaching and player-development role or a front-office position -- or a hybrid -- depending on what he prefers.

Williams was also previously head coach of the Pelicans.
