The Cavs, according to sources, are waiting for an answer with their offer that centers around Zydrunas Ilgauskas and J.J. Hickson but may include another player or draft pick. The Cavs have established other trade options, but they are waiting for resolution to their Stoudemire bid before doing anything else.

The talks have gotten so much attention in Cleveland and Phoenix that there is a belief that the Suns will make their decision on Stoudemire before their game Tuesday night in Memphis. The rumors are clearly causing distraction.
