Well guys, as most of you know Kobe Bryant wants to be traded. Im going to make this simple. We need Kobe, and we will trade almost anyone or anything to get him besides Garnett. How often does this happen that 2 superstars both want to be traded in the same year? First we had the whole Allen Iverson fiasco here, and now we have a chance to get Kobe Bryant, which can really turn this franchise around. We need this deal done. If Mcfail doesnt get it done, I really don't know if i can stay a fan for much longer until this dude leaves the timberwolves.

anyways, what are your thoughts and potential trades for Kobe?

Avalanche

well i wouldnt hold your breath if i was you, there are 29 teams who would add kobe if the price was right.
however i do think we need to at least make an offer, not only that but get KG on the phone to kobe saying come to minny... remember bryant can veto any trade he doesnt like almost forcing the lakers hand on where he goes.

the lakers would want to rebuild, it would be ricky, foye, #7, mccants or smith and then whatever we needed to do to make up contracts, get a third team involved if we have to.
i dont care if the rest of the team is average but kobe/KG gives us our best shot at a championship

Mateo

I want to see KG on ESPN tonight saying "Fred, Kevin, Taylor, get me Kobe. Get me Kobe now."

Dean the Master

I was hoping KG to go to L.A. to help Kobe. It doesn't matter if it's other way around. I would like to see you guys get Kobe in Minny. It would be very interesting to watch. (amd McHale can finally redeem himself.)

well personally when the laker fans always offered crappy packages for Garnett i thought we actually had the better assets to trade for a star.

we have rickys expiring, foye, mccants, smith and the number 7 pick..


seriously if Garnett catches wind of this early he needs to get on the phones, on the radio, on the tv and make sure kobe heres him... if nothing happens this could die down and kobe will just stay a laker we need to try and act on it as soon as possible.

"its your boy KG, tell em to trade you to minny.... Championships FTW"

socco

Yeah, we definitely do. I've been saying for the past 2 or 3 years that the Wolves had a better chance of trading for Kobe than the Lakers for Garnett. I only said that to show little chance of there of Garnett going there, but I guess I was on to something else at the same time.

Kevin needs to be on the phone RIGHT NOW talking to him. Kobe basically gets to decide where he will be traded. We have a decent enough offer with those young guys. Now we just need Kobe to want to come here. We gotta pull out everything we can here, 100% of this organization's effort needs to be on getting Kobe here.

Come on guys, us getting Kobe is a huge reach. We didn't even have the goods to get AI, how can we get Kobe? Our young mediocre players and the #7 pick isn't enough. I think we should pursue it hard but I don't expect it to happen.

A_12_92

the young players arent mediocre at all, but i think that is really difficult getting kobe

KG can talk as much as they want, the Wolves have almost NO trading chips except for Garnett.

Avalanche

but they should take the marion deal we have rejected for KG for years right?

anyway kobe has flip flopped again and said he doesnt want a trade... theres no point anyone getting too worked up about this just yet, wait until after the finals and see how kobes feeling around draft time

JuX

In order to obtain Kobe, this team really need a complete overhaul with the exception of KG. Under McHale, it won't happen, just like it didn't happen in the AI sweepstakes. They asked for Foye, we backed off and the deal went dead.

Mateo

They aren't? Let's be real guys, their numbers don't suggest players who are going to be big time. It's doubtful if any of them, except maybe Foye, could be a starter on a good team. No one's trading Kobe without getting a starter in return.

socco

We had the goods, just foolishly weren't willing to give them up.

Foye, McCants, Smith, #7, and Ricky's expiring contract are nothing? Sure other teams could and probably would offer more, but to say the Wolves have almost no trading chips is pretty ignorant. And if Kobe is traded it's probably going to be wherever he wants to go. The Wolves have a reasonable enough offer that if Kobe wanted to come here it could probably get done.

well it looks like kobe might be getting jermaine in LA.... kobe has one cry and straight away the management starts getting things done, if JO goes to the lakers and kobe doesnt leave thats 2 opportunities down at once.
Garnett needs to get in wolves managements face, seriously... im not talking 10 radio interviews in a hour like kobe but make your frustration known.
