According to Coon, if the Lakers remove Harris and Nash from the roster, they will have $28.46 million in cap space. This would allow them to sign Anthony to a max contract (4 years, $96 million) and add a free agent at approximately the mid-level amount, per Coon. They may also be able to use the room mid-level exception ($2.7 million) to sign another player.

But that's it.

This scenario would leave Los Angeles with Bryant, Anthony, a first-round pick and two other free agents on the roster. They'd have to fill out the remaining roster spots with free agents willing to sign veteran's minimum contracts.

Would that be enough to entice Anthony to leave New York?

The Knicks can offer Anthony a deal that's one year longer and worth $33 million more than any other team.

They can't offer Anthony the chance to play with another superstar like Bryant, though.

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Hey, Anthony just played with Amare, should be close enough.

Why are you so sure MDA will be gone? The team is playing well and moving the ball now. A bit like the pre-Melo Knicks. Why would LA pay MDA and PJ? Why would they bring in Melo with MDA? It's possible but I think the Clippers are more the LA team that fit Melo.

If Melo leaves for LA, I'll be very happy, let his shot selection become their headache. Why should Nuggets and Knicks be the only ones to feel that pain?
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree
