We could get LA unde the cap real easily and we have lots of talent and draft picks to trade them.
I say we trade Beno, Barry, Finley, Bonner(sign him to a nice big one year max contract), Scola, Sanikidze, Javtokas and Mahinimi for Kobe...plus our 3 draft picks.
Then next year we have a lineup like this:
Parker
Manu
Kobe
Bruce
Duncan
Horry
Oberto
Elson
Butler
James White
I think that team would kick some serious butt.
Plus we could still use the MLE on Nocioni.
If the numbers are too one sided we could always get them to throw in Tauriaf or Bynum to balance things out.
And see...by doing this, LA ensure the Celtics won't be winning any les for a couple of years...thus we protect their spot in history while they rebuild.
