This past summer, the Knicks offered Stoudemire to nearly every team in the league — “available for free,” as one rival executive put it.

Dolan, the Garden chairman, before it ever reached the Raptors (who would not have made the deal anyway, team officials there said).
Before that, the Knicks tried to package Stoudemire and Chandler in a bid to land Dwight Howard.
