Default Kobe Vetoes Trade to Pistons

link

[ QUOTE ]
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.

As a non-Lakers, but NBA in general, fan living in LA, I want Kobe here. That's 82 games on local HDTV of the best player in the NBA. I don't know how much any of you have watched the Lakers this year, but Kobe makes any game worth watching.

Billups Kobe 'Sheed Prince would be so frickin awesome. If all these reports about his vetoes are true, he's basically shooting down anything that's not a sure thing.

Depends. If all went smoothly and they got along, I'd say #2 or #3.

oops. Without Prince I'm less high on it, but it's still very solid.

I'll never understand why people want to believe silly speculation from hometown news/radio.

Chance LA trades Kobe for two average-to-marginally-above-average players and a prospect? 0%
Chance some other team's newsmedia fantasises up a silly imbalanced Kobe deal? 100%

Enjoy the ride...here all season...

Chance LA trades Kobe for two above-average players, one of them an all-star, and a prospect and a 1st?

Kobe is an All-Star, a superstar, a franchise player.

Prince is a solid SF - marginally-above-average imo. Somewhat limited offensively, very good defensively. Hamilton is grossly overrated - an average SG at best who looks better than he really is due to the team he's on. A Detroit 1st is relatively inconsequential if they have Kobe.

Not sure which of the above you'd rate as an "All-Star" unless you're purely going by NBA All-Star selections, which opens the door to all sorts of crap, at least in the East the past few seasons.
