Amare Stoudemire says he will opt out of the final year of his contract if he doesn't re-sign with the Phoenix Suns before then.

Stoudemire, speaking at his basketball camp Tuesday, said he deserves a maximum contract and would like it to be with Phoenix.

Stoudemire said there was "no chance" he would exercise the final year of his contract with the Suns, which would pay him about $17 million.
