Lakers and Bulls discussing Kobe trade daily

[IrishHand]

Aren't you the same group of guys that got your panties in a bunch over the silly "Terry+Howard for Kobe!" rumors?

Lakers getting Hinrich/Thomas/Artest (or some variant thereof) also falls way short of reality. You don't trade a superstar and get worse short-term AND long-term.

Keep fishing though...clearly it keeps a lot of people occupied (overanxious reporters among them).
