That's the most reasonable I've seen. But why would the Lakers trade to their own conference? Plus, the Lakers can trade to several teams in the East and get near equal value.
Honestly, if that trade went down (I doubt the Lakers would do it but hypothetically), then I'd much rather keep Terry and let them have Harris. With Kobe, you don't need a traditional PG, you need a guy like Terry than can spot up for a 3 or some other jumper. He could be a more explosive Derek Fisher type with Kobe. I have a feeling that Harris would not fit in nearly as well with Kobe's style as Terry would.

really?
who?
lakers are not getting james
yikes, but if we could get that lineup, i'd be able to live with that. he can feed off the two superstars
Plus, we could use the MLE to get a more qualified guy to start at PG. I say do everything in your power to make a Kobe deal happen as long as Dirk is not part of the trade. It's a long shot, but when a guy like Kobe is on the market you've gotta go for him.
Uh, like Pierce, one of the Knicks several all-stars (Marbury, Francis), and even Jermaine O'Neal, who has been asking for a trade for a while. Those aren't equal to Kobe, but add another player to any of those deals and the Lakers don't walk away too emptyhanded. I'm not an expert on contracts and the salary cap, however, so I don't know if those would realistically work. They are ideas though.
It's not a bad trade for Chicago.
Lakers get: Deng, Gordon, Brown, and the Bulls #9 pick.
Chicago gets: Bryant
It does seem like Chicago is giving up alot, but their lineup is still strong.
Hinrich
Bryant
Nocioni
Thomas
Wallace
The Lakers also improve at 2 positions, maintain scoring at the 2, and have the option of drafting someone like Law to take over at PG next year with the pick.
Smush (Law?)
Gordon
Deng
Odom
Bynum
Barea is a free agent according to Hoopshype

Trade machine on ESPN to see what trades work salary wise and what not
The Brown re-signing and filler would have to be added to make the salaries work.
Minnesota or Chicago. If anyone else suggested it there is no way the Lakers trade Kobe to any team in the Pacific Division and no way does he go to San Antonio or Dallas. Chicago is the likely place he will end up. Although Chicago should try and keep Gordon if possible.
A deal this big might take 3 teams.
Do you think Orlando makes a run at Kobe?
I could see that happen.
TIME FOR EVERYONE TO TINKER WITH THE TRADE MACHINE!

wow bosh and ford for Kobe is nice
You really think that the Lakers are going to trade Kobe to the hated Suns in the same division? I dont
^ Yeah it is..especially if Bynum can develop him and Bosh guarding the paint and being dominant on the offensive end would be phenomenal.
Gasol plus Miller works to, but Kobe would be just as ed there.
Milwaukee seems like it would work for both teams. Redd plus Gadzuric plus the Bucks pick this year would probably work, and both teams would get better imo

I don't really see a scenario where Kobe fits right into a contending situation. It seems as if any team he'd go to would have give up some major pieces in return.
I don't see the Lakers trading in the West at all..
Just remember Kobe has the no-trade clause, so he has the Lakers by the balls, like someone else said before.
