    trade two core players that are young vets for a guy with bad knees that's expensive and declining? What could possibly coax any Blazer fan to want to bring in another knee problem with a toxic contract to the Blazers?

    It is sad that his knees are shot but that is life. I wouldn't trade much if anything for him.

    It wouldn't surprise me to see a trade like this go down. I know I shouldn't be doing this. But with the all the connections Olshey and McGowan have in LA including one in Kobe. Don't be surprised with the lack of what the Lakers have gotten accomplished this offseason that his name surfaces in trade rumors and don't be surprised if it surfaces here.

    How would that work being that he will get 23 million this year and 25 million next year?

    What has Paul Allen said or done regarding CJ that makes you say that?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    "Trade for Wade" doesn't have the same ring as "Suck for Luck."

    Kobes got a no trade clause and unless he goes to a contender, which seems just laughable that anyone could trade for his salary and still he considered a contender, he isnt going anywhere.
