    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Joe Johnson, who will be a restricted free agent this summer, said he?d like to return to the Suns. "I would love to come back but nothing is set in stone," Johnson said. "This is a business."

    Johnson is expected to be pursued by several clubs. The Suns can match any offer for the fourth-year pro and are expected to do so.

    The Suns could have signed Johnson to a contract extension back in October. Though the Suns and Johnson failed to conclude a deal, he later said he and the club were "close" to agreement.

    Since then, Johnson?s value has gone up with his near-All-Star season.

    AMAR? WITH PROGRAM

    The Suns? other main objective this offseason will be to sign Amar? Stoudemire to a maximum six-year contract extension.

    Though he stopped short of saying he would do so, Stoudemire reiterated he sees no hang-ups.

    "Everything is looking swell with the team and the organization," he said. "It?s looking good."

    I thought they have to get rid of JJ in order to max out Amares contract??
