Anyways, saying Kobe is a product of Shaq means that he gets a lot of things easier because of the big guy. If you want to deny the fact that Kobe gets wide open 17 footers because of Shaq's triple-teams then be my guest. As far as Penny, he was declining before the injuries even occured. Try again....
I said Fox may have outplayed Turkoglu. I admitted the fact. I also said that it was hardly the mismatch you make it out to be. Fox is the veteran, so he is expected to deliver in important games.
I think you are a bit confused about trade value. You see, trade value is the amount a team will give up to acquire a certain player. Horry and Fox have little to no trade value because teams are not going to give up anything for old role players that take 3's all day. They are also a product of Shaq... Yes, some teams may want to have Horry or Fox, but not at the price of a lotto pick. They have some value, in that they could be mentor's or bench players. However, they have zero trade value. Like I said, if you think you are gonna move up by using Horry and/or Fox as bait, then you are going to be very dissapointed. The Bucks would trade their #13 for Horry?? 
Keep dreaming....

Please watch game 4 and tell me how many "wide open 17 footers" Kobe gets. I guess I'm in denial. If Shaq is being triple-teamed one of the defenders doing the triple teaming isn't Kobe's. Most likely it's Fisher's or Fox's man. Fox and Horry were also NBA starters long before they ever played with Shaq. Horry was the third leading scorer in the playoffs for the Rockets and Fox was the second leading scorer on the Celtics his last year there.
ZERO trade value means teams woudn't trade anything for that player. You did not say "little" trade value. Here is your direct quote so you can't accuse me of putting words in your mouth- "Where did I say that no one wants Horry? Where? I said he has no trade value, which is true." So I'm guessing the Lakers can't trade him to the Kings Chucky Brown? Translation- nobody wants Horry.
I'll dream about that lotto pick. You dream about a Kings title...
