That's more of what I was thinking the Lakers would want from the Celtics...
Although we don't have the 7th pick.

Re: OT: Kobe still whining - asking for a trade?
Before you all hate on Kobe...he never demanded a trade if they don't get West. Bucher is just a moron and is trying to create rumors for ESPN.
Quote:
"My feeling on Jerry West is I trust him completely," Bryant said. "I don't want to get into people believing me to be bashing anybody. Mitch is a great guy. All I can go by is what has happened with this team the last two years, and I know Jerry West is a guy who's great at what he does.
"He wants to win and he wants to win right now. I can roll with that, even if we don't have the complete turnaround we're hoping to have this summer. Just having him back in the nucleus will help."
"I would love for him to be a part of this," Bryant said. "But it's not something where I demand he comes here. All I can do is offer my thoughts. I love being a Laker. I want to retire a Laker. I want to fix this thing, or at least help any way I can."

Re: OT: Kobe still whining - asking for a trade?
That's spin control by Bryant, Basel. And actually if you read this thread there's little hating on Kobe (although admittedly I think he's a piece of ****) - most posts in here are on the possibility of trading for him.

Re: OT: Kobe still whining - asking for a trade?
I can't stand Kobe, absolutely despise him, but I would give up Paul for him sadly but not Paul AND Al. Al is a franchise guy, Paul is a franchise guy........Kobe is a franchise guy....one franchise guy demands a trade the team does not get 2 franchise guys back including one who's only 22 years old.

Re: OT: Kobe still whining - asking for a trade?
Neither Pierce nor Jefferson are franchise guys, in my opinion. You cannot build championship teams with Jefferson as the main guy or Pierce as the main guy.

Nor can you, obviously, with Kobe. Unless of course you have Shaq.

I disagree, the key here is build a "TEAM", Detroit has had much success and they don't have SUPERSTARS either....Al & Paul are very nice peices with the right people around them. Al is just starting to show what he will be as well so saying he's not what you build championship teams around after only his 2nd healthy season is premature for sure.

Too much? Not enough?

Kobe
I'm sure some will think we shouldn't trade for him, while others will agree with me that we should offer everyone on the roster except for PP.
My trade proposal for the lakers would be:
We trade:
Ratliff
Szerbiak
Gerald Green
#5
Delonte West
Tony Allen
We receive:
Kobe
Vlad Radmonovich (and his horrible horrible contract)
Brian Cook
A future protected #1

Re: Kobe
Any trade with LA almost necessitates Pierce going from us. Although a combo of Pierce and Kobe on the wings would be an offensive festival, it's absolutely unlikely that they would consider trading a top 3 player for anything but another superstar.
Although it would be fun to watch kobe steal the ball from Pierce to get shots.
