The New York Daily News reports that the Nets have conceded that they will not be able to sign LeBron James or Dwyane Wade this summer, which is one reason the team is pursuing a trade to land Amar'e Stoudemire.
The Knicks are not expected to be players for Stoudemire and Donnie Walsh is unsure the Suns' star will be changing addresses before the February trade deadline.
"I could see it happening," Walsh said. "But usually, with a player like that, a trade doesn't happen at midseason. But if [the Suns] are not happy with their team, or they think they're going to lose him this summer, then maybe it could happen."
