Buss said hes willing to field offers for Kobe. Any chance the bulls are taking a stab?

The Bulls have nothing that would satisfy the Lakers. The only way Kobe was going to be on the move at all was if Kobe held out and forced the Lakers to accept whatever the best offer for him was.
No team can/will offer a fair price for Kobe Bryant. They're not going to get Lebron, D-Wade, Amare, etc, because no team is going to just decide to swap stars for Kobe, and anything other than one of the top 5 players in the league is not a fair price for him unless he forces a deal. Especially since Kobe's contract goes up several million $ if he's traded. Kobe Bryant will not be traded until he holds out. End of discussion. |

I think you are underestimating the discord he is creating within the Lakers by crapping all over his teammates and the management. If the Lakers struggle this season, I could definitely see Buss ditching him for 50 cents on the dollar.... especially after 76ers proved that it is possible to survive post franchise player. |

The Bulls don't have a big dollar star on this team that would make a trade work. End of story.

If we got Kobe and got to keep Deng we'd be instant favorites to win the eastern conference finals.

Maybe with a ton of parts...the Laker could actually become a "team" again. For the past few year....it's all about Kobe...and that worries me that's what the Bulls would turn in to. I actually like the Bulls "team" right now. For as good as Kobe is....it's not worth pilaging the roster for him. |

QUOTE (Chicago Bulls Franchise @ Oct 12 2007, 04:18 PM) If we got Kobe and got to keep Deng we'd be instant favorites to win the eastern conference finals. Not true. If we got Kobe, kept Wallace, Deng, Gordon, & Hinrich then yes we would. But if we got Kobe and had to give up Wallace, Tyrus, & Gordon & Nocioni I'd say we wouldn't be better than the Celtics or the Pistons. Last time I checked, Deng Kobe Hinrich wouldn't be better than KG Pierce Allen Not only that, but it takes time to build chemistry and adding the one man offense definately wouldn't bring chemistry. I'm with Steve. I'm kind of tired hearing about this spiff. If we get Kobe we better not be favorites to win the East, it better be because we got him cheap and we are favorites and not only win this year but 3 peat before Kobe & Wallace both retire and leave our team with only Deng, and possibly Noah or Tyrus as the only youngsters still left to rebuild with. I don't know about all of you but I sure don't want to go through another 8 year rebuilding plan. Kobe's old. He's only got a few good years left. If we kept the current team together, we could probably have a chance of winning for the next 8+ years if things go right and even longer if we get lucky with new young talent in the future. |

I do agree the Lakers would want a star back for Kobe. I don't think the Bulls have that, but a 3 way might get it done. I have no scenerios however.

What do you mean "Last time you checked"? You actually checked to see which is better? Amazing You forgot one thing, Kobe has the upper hand in any of the deals. He isn't going to come to a team that would be gutted. So if they trade him, its going to be for less than what you would expect. |

There's no way I'd want to trade for Kobe unless we could keep Deng. But, I highly doubt that Lakers would go for that, so unless Kobe really forces their hand, nothing is gonna get done. An ideal trade would focus around Gordon, Nocioni, Noah or TT, and a couple 1st rounders.
Even though I'm loving both TT and Noah right now, I'd be extremely happy with a lineup of: PG- Hinrich SG- Kobe SF- Deng PF- Smith/TT or Noah C- Wallace |
