Amare Stoudemire is out of Phoenix and headed to New York — for a meeting.

If the Knicks are willing to give him a maximum salary contract, a deal might not be far behind.

Speaking of meetings, Dwyane Wade had a second one with the Chicago Bulls on Friday, perhaps a sign that his return to Miami isn’t as guaranteed as once thought.

“Things are getting very interesting,” Wade said after the 2½-hour meeting, which he said he agreed to at the team’s request.

Paul Pierce agreed to stick around in Boston. The Boston Herald, which first reported on the deal, said Pierce would get $61 million over four years, with a mutual option for the fourth year.

When the Suns gave long-term deals to Channing Frye and Hakim Warrick, it became clear that Stoudemire was on his way out of Phoenix. His agent, Happy Walters, confirmed that the Suns were no longer in the picture and said Stoudemire was going to New York this weekend to meet with the Knicks “but we’re talking to other teams as well.”

Walters said there is “a structure of an offer on the table” from the Knicks. He added no matter where Stoudemire signs, it will be for the maximum of five years and about $100 million.

LeBron James received visits Friday from the Heat and Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat have also spoken to Stoudemire and Chris Bosh as they try to find a player or players to come join Wade — if he sticks around South Florida.

Steve Blake told a Portland radio station he has a four-year deal with the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, who might lose starting point guard Derek Fisher in free agency.
