As the hours dwindle down until Thursday’s trade deadline, some teams are removing themselves from the trade talk, while others look to heat things up right up to the last minute. According to the Chicago Sun Times, the Bulls seem to be one of those teams. The Sun Times reports if the Suns are still interested in moving Amare Stoudemire, a potential 3-team deal involving the Raptors would reunite Amare Stoudemire along with Shawn Marion in Toronto, have Bosh end up in Chicago, and Phoenix would get draft picks from both Toronto and Chicago, along with Drew Gooden’s expiring contract and Tyrus Thomas. This report contradicts ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, who said late Monday that the Suns intentions were to keep Amare. The Chicago Tribune also reports about Stoudemire, and the potential of the Bulls doing a deal with Phoenix directly, offering up Gooden, Thomas, Cedric Simmons, and a pick for Stoudemire.

The Indianapolis Star reports this monring the Pacers have said there is no truth to the rumor about offering Jeff Foster along with Brandon Rush to Charlotte in a deal that would send Raymond Felton back to them. On the other side of the story, the Charlotte Observer reports this morning that Bobcats management has come out and said they have full intention of re-signing Felton, though there is no guarantee they will be able to come to terms at the end of the season.
In other news, the Knicks, who are currently two games out of the final playoff spot, will be seeing the return of center Eddy Curry to the court after the All-Star break. The New York Post reports that Curry, who has his fill of off the court issues, sees basketball as an escape from the harsh realities of life that has caved in around him.
