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.
bullshit
Its true. I just saw this on realgm.
It's true. Just saw it on ESPNEWS.
I wonder why it fell through though?
Because the Lakers would be getting ass-raped.Quote:

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

Wow I would have loved to get Gordon.
And didn't PJ Brown retire?

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?Quote:

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.
That would have made LA one of the worst teams of all-time. Think no one can score besides Kobe now?
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.
Bet they wish they had hung onto Caron Butler
Omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this thread is bullshit!!!! nice try buddy
spurs couldve gave up all there expiring contracts and picks for ron artest, way fuckn better deal
RealGM say's it is dead.
That's what they meant by "fall through".Quote:

Scola+Butler+Beno+MarcusWilliams for Kobe.
Too bad it fell through.
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.
lol @ Chicago trying to get the closest thing the NBA has to Michael Jordan.
no way :lolQuote:

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.
phew
that would have made Chicago terrifying
No kidding. It would have been fun to see Mitch Kupchak's head on a stick, though.Quote:
