Though still not close to the level of last season, trade talk surrounding Amar'e Stoudemire has intensified.
Chad Ford delivered the following report on Stoudemire's trade status.
'I was skeptical last week when I did my trade story. But since then I've had several signals come out of Phoenix that Amare is available for the right price. I think the Suns are really concerned that he wants to leave for a bigger market. I would've said last week there was a 10 percent chance he gets traded. I'd up it to 40 to 50% now based on what I'm beginning to hear.
