Philly or New York.
After all the fawning Phil has done over Kobe just in the last 24 hours, do you really think they're going to trade him for some spare parts a la Shaq? Now if the Lakers completely go into the crapper next season I can see something happening during the summer of 2006 but to think they're going to trade Kobe this offseason is idiotic and unrealistic.Chaplin said:Anyone who says that there is no chance that Kobe will be traded is deluding themselves.
It's amazing how much interest in the Lakers has waned in this town in such a short amount of time. I'm sure Cheese and Ouchie have noticed it as well.
Will Kobe be traded? The odds are not good. But is it possible? Oh, absolutely.

cheesebeef said:"underground reports" - dude - I live in LA, listen to talk radio every time I['m in the car and there has been ZERO mention of these "underground reports" - where the hell did this nonsense come from?
And what the hell is Vlade supposed to say?
That being said - I will find it delicious when the Lakers play Miami and Phil starts digging into Shaq with some kind of mind game about how it obviously affected Shaq more as he still can't even say Bryant's name. That'll be funny - when Shaq is turned on by Phil.
D-Dogg said:Oh BIM. You really need to embrace the guy.
elindholm said:Two basic things about the Jackson-Bryant relationship will never change:
1. Jackson is a control freak and a master manipulator.
2. Bryant resents it.

Is this a typo? Because if it's not that's pretty funny.D-Dogg said:Snaq
cheesebeef said:My call? Lakers win 47-50 games next year - challenge for the title in 2007.
D-Dogg said:Well, he doesn't have to say that "especially Kobe" is excited. He isn't supposed to talk for other people specifically.
And though you live in LA and listen to talk radio, you probably don't scour the world for every bit of info you can find on the Lakers as I do. And I listen to LA radio too, but over the web (and until Hacksaw comes on. In a couple of days, btw, you *might* actually hear this info I referred to on Dave Smith's show.
Chaplin said:LOL!!!!
Chaplin said:I'm only guessing here, but you like Kobe, don't you D-Dogg?

cheesebeef said:hey - I hope it's a joke also but that team THIS YEAR was on it's way to 45 wins THIS season before injuries destroyed them and Rudy T quit. 3 years from now, you don't think they will have made a deal to get a big man? You're insane if you really think that's the case Chap.

D-Dogg said:He also has a book on Stockton and Malone.
cheesebeef said:I don't buy anything on Dave Smith's show, or Big Nasty's or Hartman and Thompson - most of them fawn over Kobe still - much like you and would never say a bad word about him.
