Successful Scenario
Due to L.A. Lakers and Minnesota being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. L.A. Lakers and Minnesota had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining

i think the lakers and wolves would agree to this, what about you guys?

 

[King Sancho Fantastic]

I dont really want to give up Bynum..why not throw in Von Wafer and Slava?

 

[mjm1]

I repeat the Minnesota front office is bad, but not stupid. they will demand 2 all-starters and several first round picks. For the last time laker fans, KG IS NOT GOING TO LA (unless kobe is put in a package deal)!!!

 

[Pnack]

well everyone knows kobe isnt going

 

[mjm1]

well everyone knows kobe isnt going

lol, at this point the wolves are not going to trade a perennial mvp every season, KG, for an unproven rookie, Bynum, and a player with alot of baggage, odom.

 

[AUNDRE]

KG wont be on the Lakers... maybe if they kept Carone Butler they would have a better chance but.... they arent getting him unless Kobes coming back.... they can get alot more in return

 

[Dodigago]

how about Bibby,Peja(two allstars), Garcia(who apparently the Wolves liked a lot) + 2 firsts

 

[leidout]

How about Kobe for KG straight up trade with whoever as filler to make the numbers add up?

Laker fans would probably be shocked at first, but they'd get over it with an improved team player for Phil to work with.

 

[Drewbs]

A team with KG as the first option will not win a championship.

 

[Dodigago]

A team with KG as the first option will not win a championship.

and I suppose one with Okafor will right?

 

[edyzbasketball]

Yeah.

At least Okafor is really a good PF.

And KG won't leave Minnesota....Neither will Kobe leave the Lakers...

 

[DANNY]

thow in a laker first round unprotected pick and i think its fair game

never say never

never say never

tru dat, but still it aint happening.

 

[Pnack]

Yeah.

At least Okafor is really a good PF.

And KG won't leave Minnesota....Neither will Kobe leave the Lakers...

I think its clear the KG is going to leave minnesota, but i agree with you that Kobe isnt going anywhere

 

[moss_is_1]

kg for odom and a bunch of crap? hell no..kobe and kg on the same team? no way

 

[Pnack]

wut about if LA gave them a couple picks to?

 

[socco]

What good would picks in the high 20s be?
