3 way deal that fell thru now dead according to espn.com

Principles:

Chicago gets Kobe

LA gets Ron Artest and Ben Wallace

SAC gets Ben Gordon and PJ Brown

Sounds cheap for the Bulls

Kings looking to blow themselves up and start over i guess

Ron Artest for Ben Gordan and PJ Brown?

They could've been so lucky.

Because the Lakers would be getting ass-raped.

Kings would've been the shit if that happened, and it looked like the Bulls and Lakers get a little bit screwed.

No matter what they're not going to get equal value in return.

Ron Artest and Ben Wallace in LA.... how could that possibly end well?

Wow I would have loved to get Gordon.
Mr.Bottomtooth
10-31-2007, 06:16 PM
And didn't PJ Brown retire?

PJ BROWN would probably be re-signed to a contract to make the deal possible and i guess then just be waived.

Thats a very odd deal.

the bulls getting Kobe without losing Deng or Thomas and Noah combo is a steal.

Ron Artest combined with odom, bynum, and Kwame would've been the end to all soap operas.

I don't see Gordon being a good fit with the Kings already having Kevin Martin at shooting guard.

Bibby should put his house on the market now, he is as good as gone.

Bulls would have gotten Kobe and all they would have had to give up is a good undersized guard, an almost 40 year old post, and a contract that they never should have given out in the first place?

I'd have said that they would have made out like bandits.

Need a three/four way team trade with us getting Nocioni :hmm:

There is no way GM's would be stupid enough to want Ron Artest and Ben Wallace on the same team together... surely?

Mitch is obviously jealous of McHale's unofficial title a the stupidest GM alive. Must be a Lakers - Celtics rivalry thing.
Mr. Body
10-31-2007, 06:50 PM
That would have made LA one of the worst teams of all-time. Think no one can score besides Kobe now?
picnroll
10-31-2007, 06:54 PM
So by next year that would be Kobe and Shaq for Ben Wallace, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest? :rollin

Artest can get 20 a game.

Odom can up his points.

Bynum would have to step it up.

A rather odd deal.

I would want to get younger if I were the lakers.

Scola+Butler+Beno+MarcusWilliams for Kobe.

Too bad it fell through.
baseline bum
10-31-2007, 08:18 PM
God, I'd rather trade Kobe for a second round pick if I was Kupchack. If the Lakers didn't just hang up the phone immediately when that offer was presented then Kupchack should be shot.

I can name one reason (person) as to why this deal fell through.....Phil "Zen Master" Jackson. No doubt would he have put up with that lineup.

if this had any truth that would been a hellaova deal for chicago and Sac-town. if La could have got hinrich too it might be fair.

Because the Lakers would be getting ass-raped.No kidding. It would have been fun to see Mitch Kupchak's head on a stick, though.
