Phoenix Suns Wiretap

Amare Has Little Interest In Golden State

Amare Stoudemire has little interest in joining the Warriors, according to two sources. The sources also indicated that the likeliest scenario at this point is for Stoudemire to stay with the Suns this season.

Stoudemire has told associates that he believes the Warriors could be giving up too much in the proposed deal, which would include Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright, Marco Belinelli and possibly Stephen Curry.

Stoudemire is also reluctant to play center.

Kerr Expects To Meet With Grant Hill

Suns general manager Steve Kerr expects to meet with free-agent forward Grant Hill on Wednesday.

"I look forward to talking to Steve and getting a feel for things and what's going on with my role," Hill told the Arizona Republic. "I sure would like to stay. It's been like home. We've enjoyed being there."

Hill played for just $1.83 million and $1.97 million in each of the last two seasons, as Phoenix used their biennial exception on the forward.

The Suns cannot use the exception on Hill again, so part of their midlevel exception might have to be used if they retain him.

Pavlovic Unlikely To Return To Cavaliers

Even if Sasha Pavlovic is waived by the Suns, it's unlikely that the guard will return to the Cavaliers.

The News Herald writes that Pavlovic "needs a change of scenery."

Pavlovic was part of the deal that sent Shaquille O'Neal to Cleveland last Thursday.
