I can only hope this is true. The Knicks have 60 mil in salaries before re-signing Carmelo so they would have to do a S&T with the Lakers.Phil and the Knicks are reportedly targeting Pau...time to extract Bargnani from them.

Pau leaving + Kobe a year older and rusty + lottery pick sitting out + no coach = zero sum = just as bad, if not worse than last year. Top 5 pick is absolutely in play. Anyone thinking otherwise is a blind fanatic.

Who said he's sitting out?

Considering we only have 5 players on our roster right now, I would say it is a little early to determine how good or bad we will be.

Some good action right there , odds of having a worse season than last year are pretty slim.

No point in betting anyway, I don't believe they'll be top 5 either
I think zbo just set the market for pau. 2 years 20 m

No way we are top 5 bad next year. I think we go after some of the big name FA's and try to build a respectable roster. Lowry/Melo/Bron/Stephenson/Hayward/Bledsoe. One of those guys will be a Laker IMO.

Said that like 3 days ago after the Knicks got Calderon. You can totally see Phil putting the pieces into place to go after Pau. Problem is they only have less than 4Mill to offer him. Lakers can at least double that.

I'll take Tim Hardaway off the Knicks hands too

I read the other day if Melo leaves they should be eligible to do sign and trades. Or really close to.

Most Knicks fans wouldn't dare trade him. He's highly rated in New York circles, fairly or inflated.I'll take Tim Hardaway off the Knicks hands too

My only hope of Melo joining the Lakers is the fact that Kb added him on twitter.

I know I'm in the minority here when it comes to keeping him. Theres not much better available at the Center position. He still has lots a game left and had a crappy coach the past two years for his type of game. Would like to see him and Randle play together.

You ain't rushing back your first lottery pick in 18 years, especially if the team is going nowhere. Even if he's healthy, they'll intentionally slow play, since we'll be in tank mode.

Absolutely. But obviously this is contingent on not getting Melo, etc. This squad minus Pau (and Nash?) and without any big signings is going to be sooooo

We have 30 mil in cap space and only 5 roster spots filled. Do you really think we wont make any big FA signings. Im not saying we will get Melo or Lebron, but we arent going to roll into next season with just Randle, Kobe, Nash, Sacre, and Marshall. At the very least we will sign a couple decent veterans and/or re-sign Pau.

Man anybody could make a prediction once the roster is set 
. I'm talking right now, will the lakers be bottom 5...you said it's blind to think not, put your money where your mouth is.
Dude put "no coach" as one of his reasons

The knicks probably can't trade away their next year first rounder can they? I would definitely take a filler + 1 rounder for Pau in a S&T.

Rushing him back from what?
Right now no surgery is needed even after examining his foot.
The Lakers will intentionally slow play him

Didn't we draft Bynum in the Lottery in 2005?
