"Amar'e Stoudemire used to lead the Knicks in scoring. Now he leads them in most intriguing trade scenarios.

Stoudemire, whose name surfaced last month in reports involving Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets, is also being mentioned as a possible partner in a trade to Orlando for Dwight Howard.

"I don't worry about that stuff," Stoudemire said on Monday.

Howard reiterated to the Orlando Sentinel on Sunday that his goal is to play in a large market and has identified the Lakers, Mavs and soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets as prospects. The Knicks would make sense except for the fact that it is unlikely the Magic would do a deal for Stoudemire, an Orlando native, because his contract is not insured."
