Honestly i doubt VERY seriously he actually gets traded. There are only afew teams that have the personnel to do much. Those teams are some of the worst in the league, and Kobe will most likely not waive his no trade clause to go to a non contending team.

One team that could make some noise with this, is Chicago....

Yep, Chicago seems like the obvious choice. It really doesn't address ther number one concern, low post scoring, but they definately have the pieces to make this happen. If I'm Chicago I try to hold on to Deng though. To me he's the one guy that you don't let go.

Ty Thomas
Ben Gordon
Duhon
#9 pick
Anyone not named Heinrich or Deng.

For

Kobe and Radmonovic(sp).

Can LA turn that away? Can Chicago?

Are you saying you wouldn't want him in Miami? Would be funny if it happened.

Boston and New York deffinatly have the pieces to move, however i doubt Kobe would waive his no trade clause for either place.

Bobcats have some wiggling room i suppose.

I think this is more of a scare tactic by Kobe than anything else.

God, half of me wants Chicago to go all the way, while the other half wouldn't want to see Kobe see another ring ever again. ><

I think David Stern would veto a trade to Charlotte. Moving one of the biggest stars to such a shitty market is stupid.

Lots of talk about Cuban blowing up the team and bringing Kobe here =/. We obviously have the trade-pieces and the cash, I just think it's silly to change a team that won 67 games.

I definately don't want him in Miami, then we'll have the same exact shit they had in LA, no thanks.

Would it have mattered if they won 10 games? They still didn't get it done. Maybe all they need is a proven player who won't totally choke (as much) in the playoffs.

At least Dallas won a game in the post season.

The single best player in the league is available for trade, and he's 28 years old.

Every single team in the league should be at least calling to see what the offer is. LA will get value for Kobe for that reason alone.

I truly think Kobe will leave LA. He's obviously an emotional guy, and he truly feels wronged by the team. I doubt he'd veto a trade to any team at this point, but if he were to be picky, Chicago is the team for him.

Vonk, about the Stern thing. I don't think the league has shown Kobe ANY love in the last few years.

L.A. won't ever trade Kobe.

Basketball is a team game, and players are only as good as they can elevate those around them. It's why Kobe won't ever win a Championship without a guy like Shaq, and why people like Iverson won't, either.

Apparently Kobe spoke with Phil Jackson, and has said he now wants to be a Laker for life........


The plot thickens.

I think Iverson will see a title. He plays with heart and I think that next season he'll play well with Melo.

Sure he won't, Lyion.

Plus Kobe's great at making those around him better. You really think all those guys are having career years with him because Jordan Farmar?
