ESPN is reporting that the Suns Amare Stoudemire will likely be staying in Phoenix this season.
There were reports that the Suns were trying to move the All-Star forward, with the Nets rumored to be in the mix. But a team source told the Web site that the firing of Coach Terry Porter is likely the only mid-season move the team will make.
“I got the impression today that [the Suns] are standing pat,” a source told ESPN.
Another source confirmed the story, “That is very accurate.”
Shaquille O’Neal, who was also rumored to be on the block, is also considered likely to remain with the Suns.
