Kobe for Howard and Terry? LA's getting ing raped in that deal, almost as bad as they did in the Shaq trade. Howard/Harris for Bryant seems way more realistic.
Not a bad trade for both teams if it happens..I like this trade for LA better than dallas..
Dallas starters: Harris, Hassell, Kobe, Dirk, Diop - with Stack, Geaorge, and jones being main reserves. Be very weak at the 5 position.
LA: Terry, Howard, Odom, Cook, Dampier - with Fischer, Walton, Brown, and Bynum as key reserves. Not bad for lakers with pretty good starting 5 and better depth than Dallas.
Please make this trade!
Boston is in the East though and still likely to make the Finals.Dallas trading for Kobe and people will completely forget Boston and actually focus on the better team by far. Make it happen.
they should trade him to the heat for Wade.
Why? Aren't Howard and Terry two of the Mavs' "Big Three"?
The Lakers should be able to do much better than that, so I believe the will make this deal.
If Kobe comes to Dallas, this will provide Dallas with a much-needed floor leader who has a killer instinct on the floor as well as some defensive intensity. Dallas will finally be able to enter a season as favorites to at least make the Western Conference Finals, as the last two seasons they have been underdogs as far as getting past the 2nd round.
Try not to wet yourself over this rumour, Mono
I'm not sure what to make of this. it changes things, but part of Dallas' very, very goodness (hey, Phoenix is in the same 'not quite great' boat) is having multiple players on the floor who can create offense. Dirk, Terry, Howard, Harris... at times you can have all four, and most every time at least three. With the trade this aspect is partially lost. Not lost entirely, but instead of four, it's down to three, at best. Part of Phoenix's problem with the Spurs is they can't generate the offense because their offense is essentually limited to Nash and Amare. Contend and contain either and you've limited the effectiveness of the Suns offense. Without multiple offensive facilitators, Dallas may fall into that same line of play.
I mean, You can certainly make a great case for wanting Bryant. He's anti-choke, so Dirk won't have to strain himself to be something that isn't easily attained. AND... you can certainly make a case that Kobe and Dirk are a better one/two punch than Nash and Amare, so I'm not predicting failure, rather expressing some concerns.
It would be interesting. Dallas should ask for Walton over Radmanovic. Walton would help in this area far more than Radmo could. Plus, he's a Kobe favorite and could start at SF.
Harris
Kobe
Walton
Dirk
Diop
Whomever on the bench... not too shabby.
Anything that gets the ball out of Dirk's hands and into Kobe's is ok by me
And anyone that thinks Kobe is going to be the guy not getting the ball in Dallas is being silly...
Kobe is the guard...
It'll be Dirk's(and every other guy on the Mavs) touches that decrease.
God I hope this is true...
this is a no brainer we have to pull the trigger
I think lakers will want dirk if they get dirk dallas does not get anybetter
buss isn't stupid...there has got to be better deals brewing that an howard/terry deal. it's way too early to jump at the first offer.
lakers made the leak to see who will offer more
suns have to offer amare and marion for kobe
marion wants to leave
young gun in amare
what has he done latey sat on his fat ass and did nothing with one of the greatest basketball players ever in kobe
HOLY ! IF this trade happens, the spurs are even more ed. 2 Spur Killers on the same team?? Championship!!!!
One ball...HOLY ! IF this trade happens, the spurs are even more ed. 2 Spur Killers on the same team?? Championship!!!!
EDIT: But in a non-homer, guaranteeing way I agree that it COULD be an incredible tandom if things work out.
Just not sure if there's any proof things would...
Kobe and Dirk would be a very good combination in the offense the Mavs run. They really don't have a lot of ball movement (witness the low number of assists) and having Kobe and Dirk alternating isolations wouldn't really break the offense.
I think it'd also make the Spurs matchups with them worse. If you thought it was bad having to decide whether Bruce should guard Dirk or Howard, it just got an order of magnitude worse. Dirk's defenders will now be Elson, Oberto, Bonner, and Horry. Unless Udoka can guard Kobe.
If I'm the Mavs and all it takes is Howard and Terry, I do the trade. It makes your window about 2 years, but it wasn't much longer than that anyway.
And it will put Mitch Kupchak back in the race with Kevin McHale for worst GM.
i love it. let kobe be a ball hogging, locker room cancer over in the big d.
we'll give you JL3 for some cash and a future 2nd round pick
btw, I hope you get Kobe in Dallas so we can have an ALL TEXAS KOBE vs TMAC showdown

Kobe - not a Spur killer. Who ended the 3-year Laker run? The Spurs.
Dirk - owned by SA all decade except for Game 7 in '06.
Kobe+Dirk=2008 Champs! Bank on that! Make it happen! The Sooner this happens, the sooner we become an even bigger ing powerhouse!!
