Ellis last played for the Pacers in 2017. Stoudemire hasn’t played in the league since a 52-game stint with the Heat in 2016 but has hinted at attempting a long-shot comeback for more than a year. Bad knees were the undoing of Stoudemire. He was last seen playing in Ice Cube’s Big 3 league, along with a cast of former NBA players.

It’s a long shot either of them land a roster spot is an understatement. Teams are just finishing up their rosters and most are looking for younger players they can develop to put at the end of their bench.
