Amar'e Stoudemire won't confirm a report that he sent a text message to Carmelo Anthony expressing his desire for the forward to join him with the Knicks.

"I haven't talked to him," Stoudemire said. "I've got so many friends I talk to throughout the league, but I haven't really talked to Carmelo at all."

Yahoo! Sports reported that Stoudemire contacted Anthony just days after the Denver star was quoted as saying he doubted the Knicks were still interested in trading for him.
