Aggressive Bids For Stoudemire

The best "power" power forward in the league, Amare Stoudemire, will have as many as a dozen suitors now that Phoenix has made public its desire to trade him, but the Nets figure to be one of the few teams that can satisfy the Suns' need for youth, draft picks, and expiring contracts.

Their best offer, according to a general manager who has an understanding of Kerr's wish list, probably would have to include forwards Yi Jianlian and Ryan Anderson, along with one of the three first-round picks the Nets own over the next two summers. The GM requested anonymity because he was discussing another team's players.

Said the aforementioned GM: "I think the Nets could make a quality offer, though it depends largely on how the Suns feel about (Yi). But Amare could make a lot of teams formidable overnight."

That includes Detroit, Miami, Chicago and Portland, who are among the many who figure to make aggressive bids. Source NJ.com
