To get Kobe.
Its already bad enough he got Zach when he had Francis's deal expiring + Zach is an f'n ballhog. Wheres David Lee gonna get pt? At the 3 LOL?
I can easily see a trade of M Rose, J, Jeffries, Lee and Balkman for Kobe

Da Grinch

thats not all the knicks youth and i think most fans would ok that deal.

If the Knicks got Kobe that cheaply Isiah would probably take the Exec of the Year award away from Ainge.

Yeah i can see the Lakers being all over that deal...

On the bright side it would put them in the driver's seat for either Mayo or Rose.

OJ Mayo won't turn around any ballclub especially if hes gonna be another Arenas type. I think the clips will get him myself.
And to that Kobe deal for NY, an extra piece may also need to be added, but I know I'd rather keep Lee and Balkman both over the chance to get Kobe.

knicksfan

If we can keep ONE of Lee/Balkman and put in Nate instead, I'd rather do that, but if not I take that deal.

C: Curry
PF: Zach
SF: Q
SG: Kobe
PG: Marbury

With Marbury's sudden desire to be a playmaker (and Nate's if he's as sincere as he looked in Summer League) that's a team that I think could contend for a playoff spot and more if Kobe and Isiah pushed the rest of that team and demanded they play defense.

Yes, well, forgive us if we find the claim that a team is better off with a pair of roleplayers than one of the three best players on the face of the planet is somewhat risible. And The Wiz seem to improved since Gilbert came to town, I think whoever ends up with Mayo will be fine.

Tragedy

If they can put out that starting lineup we better be contending.

19 and 8 in curry 20 and 10 in Zach, Kobe with 30+ 5 and 5, and Marbury at 15 and 5. Of course they can't all average that over a season but on any given night these guys can hit these numbers and more. With that you expect more than hope to make the playoffs.

Of course I don't think that's feasable at all (the trade).

Let's face it, just about everyone comes out ahead when trading with Kevin McHale. Though in Kevin's defense it took Danny until the second try to take him to the cleaners.

I think that proposed trade is pretty even. But because of the way scoring is overvalued in the league, I don't see the Lakers accepting the deal.
