After originally saying he would not play overseas in the event of an NBA lockout, the Knicks' Amar'e Stoudemire had a change of heart Tuesday, declaring he would consider it.

"It's not a definite thing that I'm not going to sign overseas," Stoudemire said on ESPN Radio.

His position goes against a weekend tweet in which Stoudemire said, "Europe teams are calling, I think I'm going 2 stay here in the states. My loyalty is with the State of New York an the NYK's. Who's with me?"

Stoudemire's agent, Happy Walters, declined comment until he could shift through all the particulars but a person close to Stoudemire said "all the guys are going to leave their options open."

Nets star Deron Williams has said he will play in Turkey if the lockout continues.
