It's too bad KG didn't force himself to Chicago, that way the Lakers would have no choice but to send Kobe here to our Knicks.

Very interesting news either way.

Your implying that Kobe wants to go to chicago? When did that' happen?

It's well noted that the 2 teams on his wish list are Chicago and New York.

Kobe also mention Magic recently... This seems more likely... and scary.

If I was McChale I don't know what he is waiting for he blew it last offseason and if he is getting marion in the deal than its really not even worth it.....

Deng, Thomas and the 9 gets the deal done if mchale has any sort of brain however he doesn't, i am not sure if paxson would do that deal though. instead of deng.

Foye
McCants
Deng
Thomas

And you have two lottery picks to add depth to the team or do whatever you want with them perhaps move up in the draft.....But considering the team is not making the playoffs i don't see what the big problem is?

I think that LA might trade bynum for the 7 and 9 to be honest

I don't know if this will happen but a lineup of Amare, KG and Nash is downright scary.

I could see Kobe liking the challenge of competing with Shaq next door in the same state.

absolutely zero chance that Kobe will go to Orlando... first of all, what could Orlando possibly offer to the Lakers other than Dwight Howard that would trump an offer from the Knicks or Bulls? they don't even have a 1st round pick last time i checked... second, Orlando is not nearly as glamorous a draw. you guys are seriously deluded if you think the Magic have something to draw Kobe there.

if orlando's under the cap by a lot, can they give the lakers a mega-huge trade exception? that could be more useful to the lakers than, say, marbs' or francis' contracts in making deals match. i think that's how the CBA works but not totally sure.

if you trade with a team under the cap you just don't have to take back equal salary... there's no way in hell the Lakers dump Kobe for cap space... they'll want good young talent & picks at the bare minimum... is Hedo Turkoglu, Darko Milicic & Trevor Ariza a better package than D Lee, Frye, Jamal, Balkman & #23 pick? come on, let's get real here.

but then doesn't at least most of that difference in salary become a trade exception - one they could spin around and use immediately? i'm just wondering on the technicalities of that kind of trade, not proposing any particular package. i agree talent-wise orlando is a tough sell...

actually a 3 way trade could be a possibility now that i think about it. another team knows it has no shot at kobe but gets in on the action for the exception/cap space. at least increases the possibilities.
