Well concerning Kobe the rumors were always there that Phoenix would be his #1 destination despite Marc Stein insisting it it the Clippers.
Chad Ford also thinks Phoenix is #1 on his list I think.
Some rumors about Kobe signing in Phoenix
- Kobe was D'antonis neighbour in italy, fact
- Kobe's father played against D'Antoni in Italy, fact
- Colagenlo has always held Kobe in high regard, fact
- Colangelo has said several times that Kobe was the first player he saw in a draft workout that he was 100% sold on , the next was Amare who reminded him of Kobe, fact
- Phoenix was one of the teams that Kobe wanted to be drafted to, fact
- Colangelo and the Bryant family had dinner before draft and it was seen as a sure thing that they would draft Kobe, fact
- Kobe wears #8 as an honor to Mike D'Antoni who was a legend in italy wearing #8, rumor
- Phoenix is the most attractive FA market that has money, fact
- Kobe was almost traded for Kidd a few years ago, I think that is a fact also
The Colangelos were also very high on Tracy McGrady and wanted to trade up to get him but couldn't.
I think Kobe coming to Phoenix is a very good possibility, I think TMac coming to Phoenix can be done without Amare but it depends on wether that is really their plan and how much they even want to give up.
Some Orlando fans are demanding Amare, lol , we all know that wouldn't happen even if contracts were equal and straight up.
