Suns coach Alvin Gentry told KTAR in Phoenix that the team won't deal Amare Stoudemire solely to save money.

"Obviously you look at the financial situation. The thing that I appreciate about Robin [owner Robert Sarver] is that he's not going to do anything strictly based on finances if it's going to cripple our team and he's already made that clear," Gentry said.

"I don't think he's just looking to dump somebody to be dumping them if it's going to hurt our team."
