BIG3 Rumors: 8 players the Chicago Bulls could sign
24. . Power Forward. Age: 36. Amar’e Stoudemire. 5. player
If not for bad knees holding him back, former Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire could still at least be a solid contributor in the NBA. He was a stud scorer for the Suns in the days where he and star point guard Steve Nash were making runs to the NBA Finals and Western Conference Finals during the 2000’s. The Suns were actually a fun to to watch back then.
However, the Chicago Bulls could use a version of Stoudemire that produced at a relatively high level in limited minutes off the bench. If NBA teams are still interested in getting Amar’e back into The Association, then why should John Paxson and Gar Forman be of a different mindset?

Stoudemire reportedly had an NBA workout with multiple teams in attendance during the Summer League in Vegas. If the Bulls want to add another veteran presence that’s been there and done that, then look no further than Stoudemire. It could be a fun combo for the Bulls to have both former Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young and Stoudemire coming off the bench.
In the BIG3 this summer, Stoudemire is playing with a former Bulls player, point guard Nate Robinson. Nate and Amar’e make for one of the most entertaining duos in the entirety of the BIG3. Could the Bulls come through on pulling that entertainment factor to the Windy City anytime soon?
