Kobe Trade?

No reason to debate about it anymore being he is staying. I think the Lakers have a lot of young talent mixed it with decent players like Lamar Odom. Then they have a superstar in Kobe. Thing is Kobe could be a better passer, has the ability, but is more a give me the ball and let me do my thing. I have seen games where he is on Steve Nash ability passing the ball. He really is a rare player and has the total package, but his ego and superstar balla take over most times, cause he has other players in Odom, Evans and upcoming Jordan Farmar to help.

i just got back from wide world of sports, got some "inside info"

it turns out Kobe has in fact again as of this morning asked for a trade and he wants to go to NY, and nowhere else...

i was also giving a nugget of info in the area that Jermaine O'Neal maybe headed to the Lakers pretty soon...the deal will most likely include Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum...

this should be interesting...Kobe might get Isiah fired if he lands in NY, he's going to have a hard time playing under his system IMO

looks like the Kobe thing might happen this season...if i was Isiah i would package David Lee, Channing Frye, Malik Rose (or Nate Robinson) Jamal Crawford together, as its an exciting package for the Lakers, especially if they land JO and the Lakers would send something like Kobe & either 1 of Cook/Turiaf/Farmar. works our financially and it is pretty even really.

it would **** for the Knicks to lose Lee and Frye, but in any deal for Kobe the Lakers are most surely going to demand these guys, and maybe even Curry, but Curry isnt going anywhere, Isiah loves him....

idk, i just like messing with salaries and scenarios...

I hope all you guys arent holding your breath on Kobe being traded. Quote me on this "KOBE WILL WEAR A LAKER JERSEY NEXT SEASON". And for all the Kobe lover's who think there is none better, please pay attention to Lebron as he puts his team of scrubs on his back and takes them to the Finals by WINNING GAMES. Slim chance that they might actually win it all but nobody thought Detroit could beat the Lakers.

i dont want to get into a big debate or anything, and im by no stretch a kobe lover...but it was Kobe and Shaq...if your logic was correct, my Orlando Magic would have won 2 rings with a god like Shaq and a lowly nothing 2 guard named Penny...
Kobe is an AMAZING player, one of the best Basketball players EVER...hes the guy in the league right now who gets up at 3 am and is on the court at 4 working on EVERYTHING...

he may play dirty nowadays...but he is still one of the faces of the league, and for reasons which are obvious...in my mind..opinions are opinions of course...

the magic would have went somewhere if it wasnt for the end of the bulls Dynasty

the Magic would have done many things had Shaq and Penny stuck it out because Derek Strong, Dennis Scott, Ho Grant and Nick Anderson continued to play well, and then as a result of past dealings we drafted Matt Harpring and Mike Miller, those additions would have boosted the team in the 1999/2000/2001 seasons...

oh well...we ended up with Dwight as a result...so im way happier with that...

also looks like the Lakers might be trying to pry Camby from the Nuggets and Diaw might be headed to Memphis...

i didn't hear of this camby thing. elaborate please.

the lakers have contacted the nuggets at least twice in the last 24 hours about Camby...my guess is Denver is looking to salary dump this season so i wouldnt be surprised if the lakers sent Kwame to the nugs, kwame who has something like 9.? million left on his contract this season and then maybe another small contact player or even a draft pick this year or 2008...
