Kobe for Marion + Barbosa + James Jones + Suns 2007 1st round picks

This seems good in terms of value, but I don't think Phoenix is looking to add another huge long-term deal (even though they're getting rid of Marion's). It seems like most of the potential deals would involve them cutting salary (or not tying tons of it up in one guy) in order to avoid the luxury tax. If it's equal in terms of salaries, I think they'd rather stick with the core they have and add to it instead of adding Kobe.

Kobe will have to really convince the Lakers that he won't step on the court for them again for them to actually move him. He's brings in way too many fans to move him. I don't think they care if he's pissed off, as long as he puts on the uniform and plays.
