It appears as though Suns general manager Steve Kerr has decided to hold onto All-Star forward Amar? Stoudemire.

During a conversation with RealGM's Jarrod Rudolph in Phoenix earlier this week, Amar? pledged his dedication to the team.

"You do think about that, but you've got to block it out and really focus on what you have at hand," Stoudemire said of the feelings he would have towards the franchise if they opted to keep him after shopping him around the league.

"I still have another year and a half left on my contract, so I'm going to give the Phoenix Suns everything I've got."

Stoudemire was also happy that the All-Star festivities where in Phoenix this season, which allowed him to relax during the most hectic time of year in the NBA.

"It's somewhat of a distraction to the trade rumors, I've really been able to enjoy myself here with All-Star weekend and have fun, and that's the most important thing," he said.
