Amare Stoudemire met with Phoenix owner Robert Sarver following Wednesday's game at Dallas.

"I think I'm pretty much safe,'' Stoudemire said following the talk. "I feel good. But either way I was going to feel all right."

Stoudemire reiterated to FanHouse he's still leaning toward not opting out of his contract this summer.

Cleveland had been in pursuit of Stoudemire, but instead took a package for Antawn Jamison.

According to reports, recent negotiations didn't go well between Stoudemire and the Suns regarding a possible contract extension. But Stoudemire would have no problem with continuing to negotiate an extension with Phoenix.

"The door's open,'' he said. "I could remain in Phoenix for another five years or I can be elsewhere for another five years. I'm not sure what's going to happen. But my ultimate goal is to continue to compete for a championship.''
