i've said it over & over again, the reason you want picks is so u can hopefully someday get a guy w/the talent & ability that Kobe has... speaking for myself, i can guarantee u i would never bitch & moan about losing an unprotected pick if we could get Kobe in a deal, & i don't care if that pick ended up being OJ Mayo either... i never even complained about losing picks in the Marbury trade... the deal ended up being a disaster for us, but at the time i thought it was a risk worth taking... obviously i was wrong on that one, but there's no comparison between the 2 players we're talking about here, let's be honest.
How did you feel about the Knicks giving up picks for Curry? I for one didn't care to much for the picks. Have Kobe in NYK would make them instant contenders in the east. The KNicks have never experienced greatness in the draft since Pat Ewing and they haven't experienced it since. Kobe would be a no brainer.
