Apparently kobe was just on the radio saying that he doesn't want to leave LA now.

Jerry Buss must have bought him a $4 million purple diamond ring.

Eh, I think he's just really frustrated and pissed off because he's just finding out that he was lied to. I wouldn't put too much weight into anything he says for a week or two.

Pretty lame to go to the media with it all, I have to admit. I know he feels like the Lakers 'insider' did it first, but he's got to be the bigger man. Although he doesn't really have a track record of taking the high road . . .

Maybe the Lakers would take Yao for Kobe.

would the Lakers consider trading him to Portland/Seattle for their upcoming pick + bloated salaries? I know the Blazers have a couple worthless large expiring contract guys, what about Seattle?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what came to mind for me? Any knowledgeable NBA fans out there?

If the Blazers traded their pick, people in Portland would react by throwing bags of feces onto the court during games. Seriously, not gonna happen.

Zach Randolph and a bag with $20 million in unmarked bills for Kobe on the other hand..... hmm......

I believe Kobe has said he'd like to play for DaBulls.

you wouldn't like Kobe for pick + LaFrentz + Jarrett Jack? Or would LA demand a lot more than that?

i have a hard time believing that any proposed scenario is doable. maybe yao for kobe.

although i do like several scenarios involving one of the top 3 picks in this year's draft. lakers seem get enough in return.

even though kobe demanded a trade, they don't have to accept less than fair. if it comes to that, it would be pretty easy for Buss to open up the old checkbook and get KG.

No, you've gotta understand that Blazer fans have been disillusioned for a long time. This luckbox #1 pick is coming at the perfect time, and feels like a fresh start.

Giving that up for a guy who, despite probably being the best individual player in the league, is well into his career and a "divisive" individual at best is not gonna fly here.
