Well I figured out how stupid those jokes were after awhile, but then I tricked one of the posters into telling me what the trade was. Just how reliable his sources were, I don't know.

There does at least need to be a small move.

No inside info ... just some interesting fan feedback and rumors here in New York.

Ever since the Odom to NY for Frye story hit, Knicks fans are getting louder and louder in demanding that Isiah pull the trigger. A number are even saying include someone else big to entice the Lakers ... even Marbury has been thrown into the mix. ALmost makes you think Isiah and Brown pulled one of their typical leaks to gauge fan reaction.

Seems Odom is VERY popular among Knicks fans ... could be because he IS a New York guy.

I am also normally a big Odom fan but ... if we could package him and ??? for Frye and Marbury ... I might just do it. For all the bad rap on Marbury, right now I feel for the guy. He is desperately trying to do whatever he THINKS Larry Brown wants him to do ... even totally giving up his scoring at times in favor of passing and getting his teammates involved. The problem is that Larry Brown seems to have lost his mind since joining the Knicks and never EVER talks to his players except through the media and even then he is not usually real clear on what he wants.

Marbury is about to turn 29 and I honestly believe he is actually trying to be the team player everyone has said he isn't. I would not mind seeing him in the P&G. Of course, his salary is NUTS and would lock us in through 2008 but ... if we also get Frye who has shown the ability to play both 4 and 5 ... and Bynum keeps developing ... I could think of a lot worse teams than this one say in about 2 years.

Marbury 31 - PG
Kobe 29 - SG
George or ??? - SF (maybe Mihm is traded for ?)
Frye (24)/Brown/Cook - PF
Bynum (20)/Brown - C

In this rumored trade that has Kmart coming to LA, I have a question for those in the know. Is there a way for the Lakers to get him without giving up either Kwame or Mihm? From what ive read on various boards, the Nuggets are looking for cap relief. So they're willing to take on ending deals and draft picks for Kmart.

I really hope the Lakers will hold on to both Kwame and Mihm. Both of whom are very serviceable and young bigs. Is it true the Lakers have some sort of trade exception? Couldnt they throw that in with say, George and Slava to make the numbers work?

Knicks fans would love to get Odom and Bynum. There is no doubt. The rumor mill in N.Y. doesn't depend on actual talks.

Front court and backcourt player? Maybe it's a deal with the Hawks

I wish one of our insiders will just give us some scoop on the trade

it isnt gooden and snow because that wouldnt guarentee us making the playoffs. it would help. but kmart(if healthy) guarentees us a playoff spot. KMART still isnt a true #2 scorer like say, Rashard Lewis or Shawn Marion, but if Kobe continues the way hes going : 32-33 ppg, Odom gets 13 ppg, and Kmart gets 13-15 ppg, then that is enough IMO in terms of scoring.

I could live with K-Mart.

I'd hate kmart, his overblown contract, constant injuries and fake tough-guy attitude.

It can't be Grant Hill if we're counting on him to save our season then this Management has gone wild.

Darko does interest the Lakers.
