NEW YORK (AP) - Amare Stoudemire (ah-MAR'-ay STOO'-duh-my-ur) is
heading to the New York Knicks, and both sides are hoping he's not
coming alone. The Knicks say they intend to sign Stoudemire to a
contract later this week that could be worth $100 million over five
years and the former Phoenix center says he's working on recruiting
fellow free agents LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to New York with
him.

UNDATED (AP) - If either LeBron James or Dwyane Wade knows where
they will be playing in the NBA next season, they weren't talking
yesterday. James was at a camp in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, was
Wade was meeting with the owner of the Miami Heat, which seemed
prepared to offer the free-agent guard some $127 million to stay in
south Florida the next six seasons.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - At just about the halfway point of the
