Lebron got to the finals with even less than Kobe had in LA. |

Lebron didnt have to deal with the nasty 3 some of Garrnet/Pierce/Allen. _________________ Panthas |

With Arenas instead of Kobe, first round exits (if they can even make the playoffs, which is far from a given) over and over and over again. Maybe 14th pick sprinkled in here and there. |
The reason for getting Arenas is to put people in the seats also because hes a GREAT player something we won't get out of in any Kobe deal.
If Deng + Gordon is on the table then I would do that but it isn't and it won't be the Bulls are throwing us a bad bone of Gordon/Tyrus/Filler/pick. |

Who do you prefer? the garbage offer Bulls are throwing at us? the ever lasting Dallas horrible deal of Josh/Terry?
no one is gonna bring CLOSE to value as Gilbert would... the Bulls are still the best destination if their is a Kobe trade but the Bulls don't want to give up anything. |
None of the above. I prefer to keep Kobe. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Gilbert Arenas is a superstar no matter what his game is like. Deng + garbage is not gonna make us any better for now or for the future. what you're forgetting is that Arenas is 25 so he will have plenty of time to grow with Andrew. |
I am not sure that Arenas knows how to play with a big man. I am not sure if it is Washington's philosophy to ignore the post, or if it is a manifestation of the perimeter players. Either way, tying that kind of money up in one player again isn't attractive. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

I just don't see them as that fearsome. I think Jamison, Caron and Kobe could get past them with the right coaching. |

How do you suggest we keep Kobe when he doesn't want to be here? its only gonna make the drama worse and I don't want to witness drama anymore its becoming a tradition and I don't like it. |

You keep Kobe by not trading him. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Yeah and make the drama more worse? look I want this whole marriage to work out but it seems like a moot point.
when you can't fix something don't break it this is the same story.... if you keep Kobe it only does more damage then good. |

You do realize that you've basically made the same argument people have against Kobe, right?
"I'm not so high on Kobe, basically he's a poor man's Jordan without the rings. Kobe is a gunner, a scorer plain and simple, he doesn't make his teammates better, bad chemistry (See him with Shaq and the FO feuding)"
Not saying I agree or disagree, just pointing out the irony... |

The Lakers have little to gain by trading Kobe, and lots to lose by doing so. Their best bet is to develop the young players and for them to show that they can be a good team in the future. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

It could be because it was a false leak put out there by the Lakers F.O. to "motivate" Paxon to up his offer. Of course that would mean our F.O. make a strategic move, so it probably couldn't go down that way. |

Lebron got to the finals with even less than Kobe had in LA. |
And what happened once he got there?
Besides, it was the easiest run to the finals any team has ever had. |

Ummm... no offense to anyone here, but I will bet anyone (seriously) $500 dollars that Kobe isn't going to Washington.
The Lakers have probably spoken to over 10 teams in the past few weeks about Kobe. But Kobe absolutely does not want to play in D.C.
Kobe is very aware about his legacy and playing for a franchise with history. Furthermore, he can't win with Caron and Antawn Jamison.

You do realize the reason Kobe is vomiting is because of the "future" rather then "NOW"? sounds like you want to keep Kobe even though you admit we will be good in the future but not now how does that make sense? |

Kobe has not rescinded his request. If he wants too, he could end all this now... he hasn't because he doesn't want to be here... |

Actually, I think the only thing anyone and everyone knows for sure right now, is that Kobe does not want to be a Laker anymore. |
