According to league sources, the Suns, Pistons and Heat are the early frontrunners to sign the recently waived Jalen Rose.
If Rose signs for the veteran minimum salary, he'd earn $1,178,348 million from his new team for the season, with that team obligated to pay only $744,551 of that amount. The league picks up the difference.

Amare Stoudemire's last two practices have him and the Suns feeling optimistic about the strength of his microfracture surgery.
"I think that's the nature of an injury to be up and down," D'Antoni said Monday. "It's just when you're potentially one of the better players in the league you get a lot of attention when you have an off day. It's 'Oh, he can't do it.'
"I'm sure there's a lot of people hoping he can't do it, but I'm thinking he can. He looked good the last couple of days."
"I feel great," he said Monday. "Today was another great day, it was better than yesterday, so tomorrow I should feel even better."

Suns forward Shawn Marion sat out most of the team's workout Sunday with back spasms, putting his availability for Tuesday’s season opener in Los Angeles in question.
“It’s sore, no doubt,” said Marion, who took a few jumpers to begin practice before feeling pain during a one-on-one drill and taking a seat. “I’m getting treatment (Sunday) and some more before practice (today) and hopefully I’ll be good to go.
“I don’t want to sit out. If I’m decent, I’ll go.”
