Buss wont trade Kobe unless he can get -- ---- in return

I truly believe there is a master plan to replace Kobe with the next Young Superstar to pair with Bynum. O.J. Mayo has to be the Kobe replacement. Now the questions is how do we part with Kobe and get O.J. Mayo and some useful assets in return?

We ask for the moon in any discussion for Kobe. That means the top two players from any team that wants to discuss a trade.

A SG and PF.... one of the two must be a current all-star or consensus future all-star, and the other may be, if not an all-star, a recent draft pick/prospect.

Examples...
Amare + Tucker, Fernandez + Aldridge, Boozer + Brewer, Milicic + Gay + Miller, Joe Johnson + Al Horford, etc.

we don't, because the teams with the most chances of getting the mayo pick, aren't atractive to kobe - even if la likes the deal.
he won't sign an extention, so you dont' have a deal.

need i add that any team that gets kobe now is also a lot less likely to have a high lottery pick at the end of the season ?...
you are basicaly hoping to trade kobe to a lottery team.

not gonna happen.

what buss wants in return is a money maker.
a crowd draw. a ticket seller.

and our pipe dream of ever having another player of kobe's caliber on this team will have to rely on future cap space and lebron, wade, or one of those guys opting out.
as remote as it can get imo.

speaking of pipe, perhaps there's a chance we could get mello for kobe ?

kobe and farmar for mello ?

if k-mart is healthy, nuggets will win multiple titles with kobe.

carmelo's already a max player, i'm just not sure about whether he's byc or not.

if he is, we'll have to find other solutions like najera and j.r. smith to compensate.
camby needs to stay cause the nuggets need to know they are title favorites to go for such a move imo.
not sure they'd go for it either way, but i think it's worth their trouble.

The Hawks are team we should look at with JJ and Horford

the hawks defenetly have the assets, but kobe isn't signing an extention with atlanta, so none of those assets will be coming to la...

By the way, this Denver trade works, according to RealGM:

Kobe and Sasha for

Melo, Hunter, Atkins, and Najera.

Trade ID #4238107

But, Chucky cant be traded until Dec 15, and Hunter not till Nov 10.

this is crazy, but still, just for entertainment value:

kobe, mihm, vlad
for
allen, pierce

KOBE 2.0 · Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 9:52 pm Post subject:

Luol Deng
Amare
Gilbert Arenas

either one of those or nothing really jumps out to me.

If u guys are going to throw out deals, why not throw out realistic deals other teams would actually do? Don't forget, we will not get equal value for Kobe, so get ready to take less than what he should be worth.

Three team deals are probably the most likely way for the Lakers to get a player they want. Chicago,New York,Dallas all have nothing on their roster worth Kobe outside of a package starting with Dirk.

1)I wouldn't mind Boozer and Brewer, but Kobe would definately want Boozer in Utah if he went there.
2)What would make Philadelphia consider moving Iguodala?
3)Would MJ consider trading Okafor to get Kobe? Would Kobe consider playing for MJ's team?(probably not)

We start with every top assest u got, then we make a deal from their. Example:

Suns:

Amare
Diaw
Barbosa = Their Core

2/3 of those, then throw in a pick and a role player.

A legend in his prime? You better pay the (bleep) up.
