Dolan Dreams Of Adding Kobe

The name of one Kobe Bryant rolled off James Dolan's lips yesterday when a question was posed to the Madison Square Garden chairman about the most attractive free agent on the market this summer.

"It's possible," he said. "I don't know what (Thomas) is going to do in the offseason. I don't know if he knows. But he can count on our support. Sure are some interesting things you guys are bringing up, Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant. Maybe we can get Kobe, Tracy (McGrady) . . . that would be some charisma, wouldn't it."

All it would take is Thomas' charisma, Dolan's millions and the Los Angeles Lakers agreeing to accept Stephon Marbury in a sign-and-trade in order to bring the best shooting guard on the planet to the Garden. Don't hold your breath.

The Knicks are prepared to move forward with Marbury, the talented point guard, as their star player and main gate attraction. Dolan even issued a strong endorsement on Marbury's behalf, admitting he had been concerned that adding Marbury in January could potentially disrupt the harmony in the locker room.

"I really like Steph but I don't want to marry him," Dolan said when asked if the franchise is wed to Marbury from a marketing standpoint. "He's a great player but in the end every decision is going to be Isiah's. We don't really ask Isiah to take into account the marketing end of things."

I don't want Kobe at the expense of Marbury. He has that case hanging over his head, and could even end up in jail. I'd much rather that Thomas get TMac, but still not give up Marbury by any means. I think Thomas will keep Marbury around, it wouldn't be a popular trade at all. There is more of a chance that Houston will be traded in my opinion. Thomas seems to like Crawford as well, that shows he's thinking of having someone else play SG.

MSG would never turn agianst a talent like KOBE.NY fans have long been regarded as the smartest fans, so having a guy like Kobe would bring even more excitement than Steph would.

no one understands...........
they are not going to take allan houston for kobe bryant...............
kobe is 10x's better than allan houston. why would the lakers want an overpaid scrub (compared to kobe) for a great player indeed?

yea... as we now have three pgs, i think it is unecessary to keep all 3. lets ship moochie out in a trade. hes a good guy and the fro is hot, but he wont get much playing time unless it comes from fw.... and no1 wants that.

Good luck unloading his terrible contract.

I believe he's gonna stay with the Lakers because he can get the max contract here.

However, if he leaves, I wouldn't blame him.

STAY IN LA KOBE!

Kobe's not going anywhere. He has even started telling people (privately) that he's staying with the Lakers.
