Though knee injuries have robbed the former All-Star of his once terrifying athleticism, Stoudemire has posted solid numbers in recent seasons, averaging 12 points and grabbing a shade under 7 rebounds per game. With the Mavericks struggling with front court depth in a tough Western conference, Stoudemire could provide a strong presence off the bench.

Mavs Moneyball will bring you more news as it develops.

Cavs always on hunt for roster tweaks but I've likewise been advised they are not active suitor for Amar'e Stoudemire. Mavs remain favorite
