The Kobe Thread

[The.Menace]

Ok, I do this for SiCc

The more I thought about the future, the more I became convinced that the Lakers and me just have two different visions for the future.

http://news.kb24.com/

directly from Kobe's official website. Seems like Kobe actually really could be traded this summer. That's excting, where could he go, where would he fit in?

 

[EDouble]

shit this could mix uap things

 

[GhettoStar]

Hes goin stay, no way he could B traded...no one has the talent to let go like that...and makes no sense 2 trade a star 4 a star, Kobe doesnt need 2 go 2 another siution wheres hes all alone again...Kobe 2 tha Heat hahaha but Bulls seem 2 B front runners

 

[The.Menace]

I dunno. I always thought he would stay and that he's just pushin for changes....but now, readin this stuff from his website and the way it's written, I dunno, seems like he really wants out of LA.

 

[GhettoStar]

Im sure Phil Jackson, who expects him 2 stay, will talk some sense into him. Then you'll have Kobe doin typical "I was frustrated,sorry, I want 2 retire a Laker" talk

 

[The.Menace]

the question is if it does make sense to stay a laker. After all Kobe isn't that young and if the Lakers keep doin what they did, he might not win another ring as a laker, simple as that. So for Kobe personally, I dunno, maybe it makes sense to go somewhere else.

The Lakers don't have any intention to trade him. It's like Jeannie Moss said, how can you trade someone who has no equal value? Damn near every superstar in the league likes where they are and so do their respective owners. On the other hand, how could you keep him? The fans are going to hate him now. He's going to get his ass booed every game.

So theoretically, let's look at it. You don't trade Kobe to another team in the West. That's plain retarded. Even the disgruntled KG isn't alone worth what Kobe is. So look out East. First of all, who is EVEN in the East worthy of talk? James, Wade, and maybe Arenas? We know James and Wade are going no where. This is crazy...because as hard as it is to say, none of these players are as good as Kobe.

 

[The.Menace]

yeah that sums up the misery. Even if you want 2 trade him, it's just not that easy 2 do...same misery with Shaq, you need 2 look at 2 or 3 players plus draf picks or so, there won't be no one on one trade with Kobe, since the other superstars won't be traded (Duncan, Nowitzki, Wade, James, Wade, Nash, those players....don't go no where) .....

The only chance how u could keep kobe I think would be 2 trade for KG, but if you have 2 give up like 3 top players for KG the lakers won't be able 2 compete for the ring neighter next year, even if they have Kobe and KG..... xcept they have enough Cap space 2 test free agency. Intersting.

 

[EDouble]

Hell if their sorry asses can trade out Shaq like they did they wont have any problems with Kobe this back and forth talk from Kobe is ridiculouspeople say fuck they couldn't move him out what about the team bullshit L.A. almost like the old Bulls scenerio on a diferent game plan than the fans

 

[Snowman]

Kobe wont go. La needs to clean house bye to Odom, Brown, Parker, Vujacic and whoever.

Kobe, Walton, Farmar, Cook. those guys you keep. start bringing in Bibby. get you a PF like Foyle from GS. or Dampier from Dallas. (KG would be nice maybe in another year or two) get you a sixth man.

this is Kobe's team. he has to step up and let management know who i want on the roster.

Bibby on the later stages of his carrer....he hasnt been good since the 2002 West Finals...Arenas would be better

i have heard Bibby. because he knows the triangle, and him and Kobe are friends. Arenas.. you'd be giving up a lot, Wizards would want Bynum in that deal. LA would be foolish to trade him. BUT its the NBA anything can happen

 

[SicC]

The only teams that he would even consider going to is NY or Chicago, and as it looks Chi town is the only team that could pull a trade off.

But other teams would have to be involved..I.E the Celtics and Wizards from what most anylists are saying.

I personally don't see him being traded because wherever he goes he is gonna be in the same situation as he is now because teams are going to have to give up a lot more to obtain him and its gonna hurt them more than help him.

Secondly as Big E said he will not go west Buss doesnt want to be burned by him 8 times a year. He also has the say over what team he goes to since he has a no trade cluas wich makes it even harder to move him. So basically he is screwing himself because wherever he goes he will be lacking the supporting cast to get him anywhere.

Im still waiting for the video to be released where he torches the lakers upper managmen and Andew Bynum.

Bibby will not be coming to L.A he is out of the Lakers price range so is Billups. The issue the Lakers have is they really have nothing to trade but lamar and Bynum, Mitch is in love with Bynum but Phil and Kobe could care less because centers dont fit into the scheme of the triangle very well.

Secondly both lamar and Kwame had offseason surgery wich also hurts there trade values as well. Kwame will be involved in every deal because his contract expires at the end of this year and he is cheap.

Arenas opted out his contract so he can be a free agent after next season....if Kobe is smart and the Lakers they wait thill the season after next and try to score Arenas if they want a valid point guard, but once again, the question is really HOW GOOD is Arenas since he plays int he East. Sure he killed the Lake show in LA, but playing the elite of the west all the time might be too mcuh for him.

That trade for Shaq has really fucked the Lakers up bad in multiple ways.....but if Kobe gets what he wants, is traded, then his legacy is tarnished....and the talks about him being selfish, running Shaq out of LA, the rape case, all that is once again brought up. Kobe fucking up, he just now starting to get some that shine back off the court.



Fuck I rather see a video of just his bomb ass wife then him being "tough" for the camera. Gotta respect KB8(or 24 now) he really doesnt give a fuck what people think or say...always thought dude looked like Pac a bit
