Amar’e Stoudemire is close to signing a long-term deal with the Knicks in the coming days, and he may not be the only addition to the Knicks if we believe his words. As reported in the NY Daily News, Stoudemire said:

“I’ve talked to Carmelo Anthony that he needs to come out here,” Stoudemire said. “I’ve talked to Tony Parker. Both guys are ready to join me if I decide to come here. So we will see if we can work it out.”

While it remains to be seen if Melo gets traded, Stoudemire is feeling confident that he’ll have a supporting cast around him in New York. But will Stoudemire stay healthy enough to play with any new players?
