Stoudemire and the Knicks formally reached a buyout prior to Sunday’s All Star Game — with six-time All Star likely clearing waivers by Wednesday.
Stoudemire — who is chasing a championship — is likely to sign with a Western Conference team.
Several teams in the Western Conference are expected to pursue Stoudemire, who would be a solid addition to a playoff team as a reserve. The Dallas Mavericks have already been mentioned as a possible destination. Two others clubs in the West that could be in the running are San Antonio and Golden State.
