There is absolutely no way Lakers do a straight up Amare for Gasol trade.
Knicks would need to sweeten the pot. Mike D loves 3 pt shooters, how about Novak?
He also loves foreign players, how about Prigioni?

Now that deal makes sense for both teams...The Knicks would be scary with Gasol.
In other words, if Paul is to be paid his maximum first-year salary, the Knicks would have to send out $19.4 million in the trade.
Chandler $14,100,537
Novak $3,750,000
Shumpert $1,703,760
= $19,554,297
