Re: Lakers and Bulls discussing Kobe trade daily
 

If Nocioni is your weakest starter, that is actually very good, especially when Kobe Bryant is on your team.

The Spurs started Oberto and Bowen. I'm not saying Kobe is as good as Duncan, but he's pretty close, and Nocioni is better than either of the guys Duncan started with, with the assumption that Nocioni would be the Bulls worst starter after a trade for Kobe that included Deng.

I mean...if they don't want to take the deal, they will continue to be a slightly worse version of the Pistons.

Why would any team leverage their future to get Kobe? Hasn't his time in LA w/o Shaq proven he alone isn't good enough.

Re: Lakers and Bulls discussing Kobe trade daily
 

if they can keep deng and tryus thomas somehow he wouldn't be alone... then all they'd need is luke longley ron harper and steve kerr to be a sick team

This is exactly how MANY bulls fans feel.

Gordon+ Noce+ Thomas/Noah+Late First Round Picks DOES NOT leverage the future, but any more than that and I don't think it's worth the risk imo.

The Bulls and the Lakers are my two favorite teams. The Lakers were actually the first team in any sport that I was a fan of. I really have no idea what to think about this trade.

If the Lakers don't get Deng and Thomas and picks they failed.

yeah, a center and inbound the ball the kobe.

Re: Lakers and Bulls discussing Kobe trade daily
 

Bulls obviously don't want to give up Deng. I think they'll agree to give everything the Lakers want except him and it'll end up something like:

Gordon, Thomas, Nocioni, Noah for Kobe...maybe take one out and add some picks.
