Mavericks sign Amar'e Stoudemire

His deal is worth 477k. Amar'e chose Dallas over the Clippers and Suns who had also shown interest. Absolute steal for Mavericks in a position they desperately needed a bit more depth in. If you're gonna get a backup, might as well sign the six-time all-star for less than 500 grand right? Cuban

The Mavs could only offer Stoudemire the prorated veteran's minimum. His deal with Dallas is worth $477,150, according to sources.

The Mavs plan to use Stoudemire, a six-time All-Star who is averaging 12.0 points and 6.8 rebounds in 24 minutes per game this season, as a sixth man. The majority of his minutes are likely to come as Chandler's backup at center, and Stoudemire will also get some spot duty at power forward behind Nowitzki.
