1270 Detroit -
According to radio station 1270 AM in Detroit, the Lakers and Pistons came to an agreement to trade Bryant to the Pistons.

However, Bryant used his no-trade clause to veto the trade.

The report claims the deal was completed late Tuesday night.

Detroit would have sent Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton, Amir Johnson and a first round pick to the Lakers.

As a Cavs fan, I'm extremely happy. Damn, the Pistons would be stacked. Really surprised Kobe vetoed this trade (if true, of course), since it seems he was only going to veto a trade to a team that was getting much worse on the trade. But with Billups, Rasheed, Kobe, and a new, solid young core the Pistons would be sick.
