just got word that KG is now reaching out to Kobe to change his mind about leaving LA. KG and Kobe are very good friends. Yesterday Kobe told KG that he's leaving LA no matter what KG does. He told him not to go to LA. Now KG who really wants to go to LA is reaching out to Kobe to talk him into staying with the Lakers. If Kobe say that he will stay with the Lakers. The Lakers and Minn trade may go down today. But the deal is not done yet because KG need to know what Kobe plans to do. KG is give Kobe time to think about this and hopefully change his mind. But KG isn't going to LA without Kobe, when he could have went to Boston

I know I shouldn't be believing anything on RealGM but there are mixed reports on the Kobe/KG talk. Someone posted that KFAN says Kobe is talking to KG right now and is trying to convince him to join the Lakers. His big hook? Buss told him that he would sign Chauncey Billups.
No way we sign Chauncey Billups with the MLE. _________________ "How good do you think Andrew Bynum is going to be in 10 years? Are you f---ing kidding me? I'm trying to win this s--- now." |

found on CL :

But if Billups says he doesn't want to be back with Flip coaching, he could "force a S&T here for Farmar and fillers... |

Well, that contradicts what I heard Chad say on the radio not all that long ago. He NEVER said that the deal was a lock, in fact his position was that it was basically dead if there weren't more teams involved than just Minni and LA. |

Something that nobody is talking about. What about Odom? Does he have any say in this? This guy has been through a lot as we all know, and has made it clear in the past that he really wants to stay in LA. I really can't see Odom too thrilled to play in MN. _________________ JVG FOR LAKERS HEAD COACH |

UPDATE
FWIW:
Bucher reported on ESPN:
Kobe spoke with KG and said he would reconsider if he was traded here, but until he is officially here, Kobe still wants to be traded
Also, Kupchak is reportedly very pessimistic a deal for Garnett will get done _________________ “YO JEANIE, WHATS UP MY BIIIAAACCCHH!” – COCA JAMES ON 1540AM THE TICKET LAKERS ROUNDTABLE - 03/02/06

But it has to. If it goes longer than Thursday, I'm going to get fired. |

That's great news. I'm not concerned about Kupchak's comments. I can't remember the last time that a GM said, "Yeah, things are looking GREAT!" about a deal that wasn't finalized. |

Bucher just said on Outside the Lines that Mitch is very pessimistic a deal will get done and he (Bucher) thinks it is very unlikely "at this point." Of course, he changes his story almost by the hour now. He also said, and it's more positive, that Kobe's camp is now indicating Kobe is in a wait and see mode and won't comment on "what ifs," but, if the Lakers get Garnett, it would certainly give him pause to consider (or words to that effect) staying with the Lakers. So, I don't know: it seems odd to me that Kobe's camp would leak that apparent change in position which sounds like a deal might happen, if the deal really is very unlikely at this point (unless, of course, Kobe knows it won't happen so is willing to sound now like he may have stayed had it happened). |

Probably about 20 minutes prior to this post (didn't see the first one when I made mine). |

ESPN
Also Bucher said that the Twolves are under pressure to trade KG before the draft
JO not worth it to Boston
NOT ON ESPN
Im hearing Rumors that Atlanta might come in as the 4th team (heard from LD2k and forums) _________________ “YO JEANIE, WHATS UP MY BIIIAAACCCHH!” – COCA JAMES ON 1540AM THE TICKET LAKERS ROUNDTABLE - 03/02/06
