per magic johnson on tnt nba preview show:

- kobe has a list of 5 teams to be traded to, but only 2 were in the running.

- dallas tried to basically steal kobe so it was really down to chicago but a deal to chicago probably won't happen b/c they won't trade deng. plus it's tough to put a deal together b/c of kobe's salary.

- lakers and indy have had many discussions for jermaine this summer. (per david aldridge, the hold up is bynum)

- magic says he doesn't think the lakers would trade kobe and they are better off trying to get help for kobe.
