Reality check: Lakers would want allot more than Francis and Frye for Kobe. The same goes for Oneal. Yes Wallace is aging but he only has two more years on his contract. This doesn't keep us over the cap like it would if we went after a Kobe or Carter. And the beauty of it is that it is a realistic deal that the Knicks can make happen.
Kobe has trade override power though... so he has to approve whatever team he went to... so if he tells LA he wants the knicks... they only have 2 real options... trade him to NY and get a young guy (Frye) and a veteran with a contract that expires in 09 - 10 (the same year lebron, dwade and chris bosh are up)... or watch him walk after 08 - 09 for nothing...
