Successful Scenario
Due to New York and L.A. Lakers being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New York and L.A. Lakers had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Question is would L.A. do it ?? We all know that Phil likes big guards ( Crawford ) and back to the basket centers like Shaq ( Curry ) and forwards that can handle the ball like Pippen ( Lee ). Plus you throw in a little youth a digestable contracts and "wa-la" Kobe comes to NY !!


C = JJ 24 mins per game
PF = Frye 36 mins per game
F = Kobe 40 mins per game
SG = Q 36 mins per game
PG = Marbs 40 mins per game

Bench

C = Butler 24 mins per game
PF = Mo T 12 mins per game
SF = Rose 08 mins per game
SG = Penny 12 mins per game
PG = Penny 08 mins per game


If needed we can cut the rotation down to 8 players by removing Rose !!

What did the 5 fingers say to the face?


Exactly...

Steph 20 pts per game / 8 ast per game
Kobe 28 pts per game
Frye 22 pts per game

Thats 70pts per game already !!

Of course I'd do this trade and LA wouldn't. However, I'd also say that I don't like Kobe, don't like the selfish way he plays, and think he has the wrong attitude.

ESpn basketball analsyts have determined that KOBE is uncoachable. He's selfish, doesn't get his teammates involved and wants to chuck the ball 33 to 40 times a game which i think is sickening..

The dude is a cancer and Phil JAckson will finally realized he made a mistak coming back to coach L.A.

Yea but coudl LB reel him in like he has done with Marbs & Craw ??
