Lakers and Bulls discussing Kobe trade daily

[Vyse]

L'ennmi, Hinrich / Kobe / Deng is an impossibility and would be stupid (shots become too crowded; you want to funnel everything around Kobe with great role-players / other good options) so you have to pick between playing with Deng along your centerpiece or Hinrich along with Kobe. I'd take Deng simply because Duhon replicates much of 1. What Hinrich already does and 2. What you would want out of a PG playing along with Kobe anyway. So it makes the most sense, esp since he's so ridiculously undervalued and still only 25. I'm not saying Duhon's some 35 mpg like Hinrich either but 28-30 mpg is fine and an lolDerekFisher or whatever works well enough.

Defensively, Duhon >> Hinrich on PGs, Hinrich's just more versatile cause he can guard two positions. But you have Kobe and Deng so it's not really a factor.
