Raja and Marion for Kobe?

It'd have to be Barbosa and Marion for the Lakers to even give it a look.

how bout...

raptors trade:
bargnani + tj ford + parker

lakers trade:
kobe

pg: tj
sg: parker
sf: odom
pf: barg
c: bynum

bargnani is only 22 and is the closest thing to dirk in the NBA, tj is a young, fast pass first pg, and parker is a great 3p shooter and defender.

The Associated Press has put out a story that claims to have new quotes from Kobe off his web site. Well, they're not new at all. It's the same comments he posted on May 30, but for some reason whoever operates his page keeps putting an updated date on the blog. If you click the post, on this blog, titled ``Kobe's lastest TRUTH,'' you'll get the exact same message that the AP is claiming to be new.

This thing couldn't possibly be any more of a circus. The sooner everyone realizes that Kobe isn't going to be traded, and that all of this is just good talk-radio and headline material, the happier we will all be.

-Hammond

I agree, this is just a drama kobe created.

I heard somewhere of Marion, Barbosa and the Suns' two first round picks.

I'd definitely do that, unless we got Gordon, Deng and Wallace from Chicago.

Itd look something like this.

PG- Leandro Barbosa
SG- Mo Evans
SF- Shawn Marion
PF- Lamar Odom
C- Kwame Brown

Barbosa is a great player as of now, he has high schooting percentages and he scores a lot. In the minutes he played he seemed unstoppable to me. Plus, he's young and maybe he might develop into a great offensive player and consistent 20 ppg scorer.

Marion is a great rebounder, and he plays good defense, getting 2 blocks and steals a game almost. Even if he doesn't score as much as he did in Phoenix, he'll bring a lot of athleticism, rebounding and defense.

Shooting guard and center would be weaknesses, but we'd have a couple years for Bynum to become a double double guy. You can always find a shooting guard anyways.

[Bartholomew Hunt]

Barbosa could play SG. Stick Jordan or MLE signee and PG and let them run!

I agree, as long we we get talents who cares where we deal him.

Let's just forget about Kobe going to the Suns. Won't happen. But for the sake of arguement, any deal for Kobe would have to include Amare. The Lakers aren't going to get ripped by the Suns of all teams.

[Damian Necronamous]

Here's a crazy idea...trading Kobe to Phoenix. The following works capwise, and I think it would be worth some serious consideration.

Lakers Trade:
Kobe Bryant
Vladimir Radmanovic
Brian Cook

Suns Trade:
Leandro Barbosa
Shawn Marion
Kurt Thomas ($8M expiring)
24th Pick in 2007 Draft
29th Pick in 2007 Draft
Atlanta's 2008 First Round Pick

First off, yes, the Suns would have this lineup...

PG: Steve Nash...Marcus Banks
SG: Raja Bell
SF: Kobe Bryant...Vladimir Radmanovic...James Jones
PF: Boris Diaw...Brian Cook
C: Amare Stoudemire

Favorites to win the title for a few years? Certainly. However, we would be in a pretty damn good position ourselves.

PG: Jordan Farmar...Sasha Vujacic
SG: Leandro Barbosa...Maurice Evans
SF: Lamar Odom...Luke Walton
PF: Shawn Marion...Ronny Turiaf
C: Andrew Bynum...Kwame Brown...Kurt Thomas

In addition, we would have the 19th, 24th and 29th picks in the 2007 Draft along with our own 2008 pick and that of Atlanta. Kwame and Thomas would come off the books after the season, giving us $17+M more in cap room.

[Damian Necronamous]

Now that Dallas is in the mix...

Lakers Trade:
Kobe Bryant
Sasha Vujacic
Brian Cook

Mavericks Trade:
Josh Howard
Jason Terry
Devin Harris

Dallas Mavericks
PG: MLE Signing...Sasha Vujacic
SG: Kobe Bryant...Greg Buckner...Maurice Ager
SF: Jerry Stackhouse...Devean George
PF: Dirk Nowitzki...Brian Cook
C: Erick Dampier...DeSagana Diop

Los Angeles Lakers
PG: Devin Harris...Jordan Farmar
SG: Jason Terry...Maurice Evans
SF: Josh Howard...Luke Walton(?)...Vladimir Radmanovic
PF: Lamar Odom...Ronny Turiaf(?)
C: Andrew Bynum...Kwame Brown

So basically, we'd be Dallas. However, we'd have Odom and Bynum instead of Dirk, a better bench, and a better coach. It could work?
