If its for a few first rounders and Gordon with scrubs involved then sign me up for a trade. If it involves Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas, or excess of players then sorry Kobe. He was house hunting here before in 04 when he expressed interest in Chicago while he was a free agent but didn't come.

Yeah, that starting lineup would be absolutely sick! We'd easily be the cream of the crop in the East, and I think an NBA Championship would be very doable. Unfortunately, that seems highly unlikely at this point. Didnt you get the memo? Boston is the cream of the eastern crop. We might as well not even play and let the eastern conference playoffs be Miami v. Detroit and Lebron v. Paul Pierce (beetlejuice) Garnett and Jesus Shuttlesworth |

You know, we will probably know how serious Kobe is about being traded when there are rumors of Phil Jackson quitting again. There is no way in hell that he is gonna stick around through this any longer if Kobe bolts the scene. And Phil always likes to step out the door right before the proverbial sh** hits the fan.

To me I almost thought this was a ploy by him to prove that he can win without having the best teams. I also think he has failed so far and is a no win situation by now. He should have stayed retired. |

He should have stayed retired. Oh absolutely. Phils arrogance got him stuck with the last couple lackluster years in LA, and now his overall record is suffering for it. Not that i feel bad for him. |

Phil is also getting what, $10 million a year? Yeah, he is raking in the dough in La La land. Plus, with his books ripping on his former and current teams, Phil has built an empire of constantly flowing cash. For the money he is being paid, he should be able to get LA to compete with Kobe as the centerpiece |

For the money he is being paid, he should be able to get LA to compete with Kobe as the centerpiece Am I the only one who recalls how abjectly bad the Lakers were in the Rudy T 1/2 season before Phil came back? From a business perspective, here's the reality; Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are a hugely marketable and profitable brand, especially together. But if Kobe Bryant leaves, or the Lakers are so bad they can't fill the seats, then a lot of that profit potential vanishes. The Lakers were a disaster the year that Phil was gone; most importantly in the fact that at the end of the season, the people weren't showing up to games. If it costs $30 million between Kobe and Phil to hold that brand together and keep people in the seats, even with a non-championship team, for the Lakers, financially, it's worth it. |
