What the?

Chicago doesn't have the salaries to match any offer to the Lakers. PJ Brown would have to agree to a sign-and-trade, and the Lakers would have to be foolish enough to offer him similar money that he's been making so it's enough to match salaries.
If Kobe goes to Chicago, Bulls would have to package Ben Wallace or try to find a third team to help make the trade happen. Why would the Lakers want Ben Wallace's contract. What team is going to help Chicago get Kobe Bryant?
Your right about Chicago, I cant see any trade that wouldnt destroy their team for Kobe, epecially when they are really only a low post scorer away from being able to challenge in the east. The more I look at it, the Bucks seem like a place that would work out for both teams, with both becoming better
I still see dallas the place he lands.
I wanted Bosh and Kobe together.
Now I know Bosh and TJ Ford are ass buddies but for Kobe? I'd traded Ford's ass and start Calderon, who'll probably end up better than Ford in a year or two.

If Detroit loses to Cleveland, or loses badly in the Finals, they would have plenty of assets to move for Kobe if they wanted to make a change. Prince, Hamilton and Delfino, for example. Or Billups in a sign and trade if they wanted to go that route.
The Lakers could get good value from Detroit, and Kobe is only going to want to play on a team he thinks he can lead to a le. Chicago fits in this category, but they would have to part with alot of young talent to make the salaries work, so I think they're out. Bosh and Ford would be perfect value for value, but I wonder if Kobe would be willing to play in Toronto with the players that would be left. (Rasho, Bargnani, Anthony Parker, Jorge Garbajosa, Jose Calderon - looks pretty similar to what he would be leaving in LA). I also doubt that Toronto would make this trade.
1.) Good value in return for the Lakers
2.) Kobe would want to play there (definite le contender with him on the team)
3.) The team receiving Kobe is actually improved (they won't be giving basically their whole team.)
Detroit meets that criteria better than any Eastern team, if they don't win the le this year.
Why the would the Lakers trade Kobe for that trash?

Good Point. The Pistons are the best option in the east for L.A. The Bulls wont give up talent. Besides those 2 teams, Kobe would probably reject a trade offer to any other east team. I see him going to Detroit or staying out west.
12.4 + 14.0 + 6.2 = 32 PPG > 31.6 PPG
Hopefully they can't cut a good deal with anyone else
I know this is crazy, and I'm not even a Kobe fan, but how about Utah?
Andrei Kirilenko, Derek Fisher, Utahs 2007, 2009 first rounders and the first rounder owed to them by the Knicks.
Kirilenko needs a change of scenery, he's still a good player he just no longer fits with the Jazz. Fisher would give the Lakers a true PG. and the picks would help them rebuild, the Knicks pick is unprotected in 2010.
Kobe would make the already psudo-contender Jazz into a legit contender.
It would work, but you would probably have to throw in Okur as well. Okur plus AK plus Brewer would work
Okur, Fisher, Ak47, and 2 first rounders would work
Dallas has the most to offer of any team. Its just wether or not Cubes will give it up.
Man, Boozer, Williams and Kobe on the same team would be absolutly unstoppable
I just dont think its possible without Dirk involved. Terry and Howard dont make enough money wise to match up with Kobe. Maybe, Terry, Howard, Buckner and a 1st round pick might do it, but is that worth it?
Does anyone see Kobe wanting a low-limelight team like the Jazz? Even Detroit is a stretch.
New York is obvious in terms of market, but they wouldn't immediately be a contender. But put Kobe on there and you have a playoff team for sure.
Chicago is likely his first choice, but as said above, they need to S&T PJ Brown in order to get it to work, which is a bit nuts. I can see Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, plus one or two other things. I wonder if a S&T with Nocioni works, but likely not as he'll be BYC.
Otherwise I don't see much. Orlando might work. I know little of their team, but they might have enough.
lol, thats exactly what I was thinking.
Orlandos problem is that they dont have outside of Howard the Lakers would want. They could trade over half their roster and the Lakers still wouldnt be getting enough value

Dallas has no chance.
To be honest I think it's all smoke and Kobe will go back to the Lakes.
I agree with this, he just want attention. He will be back
"On Wednesday, Kobe Bryant tells Stephen A. Smith on 1050 ESPN Radio in New York that he wants to be traded from the Lakers and that there's nothing the Lakers can do to change his mind."
http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_ar..._to_be_traded/
he WILL be traded.
He's on the radio right now saying he doesn't want to leave.
Kobe can cry all he wants. Buss has the trigger button. Kobe still has at least 2 years under contract.
Buss can be a total asshole and not trade him. Of course he runs the risks of Kobe tanking games are not even playing due to "injury" to force a trade.
