Amar'e Stoudemire is hinting that the Knicks shouldn't blow up their current roster to land a player like Carmelo Anthony in a trade.

"Right now, in New York we have a solid team," Stoudemire said. "We don't really need much. We're playing well. We feel like the team we have can be very successful if we keep improving individually and as a team on the defensive end."

Anthony has made it known that New York is his preferred destination. The Nuggets are expected to trade him prior to next month's trade deadline.
