Re: Kobe on Stephen A Smith's Radio Show, Wants to be traded
Some deals proposed by Bill Simmons from ESPN...
Atlanta...
1) Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, Tyronn Lue, #11 pick for Kobe and VladRad
2) Joe Johnson, Josh Childress, Tyronn Lue, #3 pick for Kobe and VladRad
Chicago...
Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Victor Khryapa, #9 pick for Kobe
Phoenix...
Shawn Marion, Leandro Barbosa, Marcus Banks, Atlanta's 2008 first for Kobe and VladRad
Boston...
Theo Ratliff (big expiring), Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, #5 pick, Minnesota's future first for Kobe
Dallas...
Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse for Kobe
Those are some pretty good deals, but I'd have to pass on the Phoenix and Dallas ones. If we dealt with Phoenix, I'd want Amare and Barbosa for Kobe and various pieces (VladRad, Evans, Cook, etc.). Dallas? Howard is good, but it'd be better to get Howard, Harris and future picks.
The deal with Chicago is clearly the best out of this bunch. Farmar, Gordon, Deng, Odom, Bynum and the #9 pick (Acie Law? Julian Wright? Joakim Noah?) would be a great nucleus.
Chicago would be left with Hinrich/Kobe/Nocioni/Thomas/Wallace...good enough to be a favorite for the Eastern crown and possibly a title.

Re: Kobe on Stephen A Smith's Radio Show, Wants to be traded
yeah the bulls sounds the best. but they'd be giving up too much, im not sure if they'd be willing to part with those players.

And don't say that he wouldn't have blossomed with Kobe on the team because you're wrong. He began to blossom at the end of the season when he averaged something like 22 or 23ppg over the last 18-20gms.
The F--- up was the Kwame Brown deal...why doesn't anyone realize this?

Agreed. I understand that we needed a presence down low, but Kwame Brown was not the right guy.
I still can't believe we had an opportunity at Baron Davis, Carlos Boozer, and Jason Kidd, and screwed up all three times.

Baron could have been had for next to nothing. The Hornets were ready to ship him to any destination, next day air. We'd simply have to pay for shipping and handling. Kidd would have cost us Bynum, who I have soured on a bit. Boozer would have cost us Butler but he's a better player than Kwame Brown is. Much better.

Boozer was a free agent though, so we could have possibly kept Butler. Imagine if we somehow got Boozer and then last season, had Kidd.
PG - Kidd
SG - Kobe
SF - Odom
PF - Boozer
C - Mihm
Just imagine...

NO, I believe We didnt have money to sign Boozer. It was Butler for Boozer.
