You can fight back and forth about the call 'who is better'. But it's obviously Kobe Bryant. James is gonna need to be around the league a Lil longer before anyone can talk about it, IMO. James very well could be better then Bryant down the road, but we just are gonna have to wait and see.</div>Hey NBA.com says the Cavs want a point guard, how about Snow, big Z, Varejao, for Kidd and a couple picks?It evens up nicely, but you lose your frontcourt alot, but Gooden is enough right ? Wish you kept Boozer now didnt you?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Nitro1118 @ Feb 21 2007, 01:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>HAHA! If you guys wanted RJ too, you'd need to trade Odom, not Bynum. RJ is a proven all star talent, and still has more upside to him. Bynum is still very unproven and could end up being a bust.</div>Id say that Bynum is more of an untouchable right now than Odom. He is only 19 years old I think, and he has a tremendous upside. They aren't going to trade this kid for much at all....He isnt going to be a bust. He has already shown great improvement, and he is only 19. He is going to be an All-Star and you know it. I dont even think the Lakers would trade Bynum for Jefferson....
Looking at it from a Lakers viewpoint. It will give them the best backcourt in the NBA with Kidd & Kobe but I am curious to see how Kidd would adjust to the triangle and how much this impact LA's ability to defend the likes of Yao Ming, Tim Duncan and Amare Stoudemire come playoff time because it would basically leave them with Turiaf and Bynum to defend the post.

No offense to Utah, just Loozer is, well a loozer. See how he is always out when he faces us? He is scared as hell of LeBron...heheWe are talking with the Kings on Bibby, so it looks like Gooden is going to the Kings...

He is not very athletic, nor is he anything overly special in the post. He, nor anyone else, is a lock to be an All Star in the future. RJ is a proven guy who can be a first or 2nd option for a team, can be a 20/7 guy, shoot a high %, and is already all star caliber. RJ also still has upside, and improved in every offseason.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (RaptorFan#1 @ Feb 20 2007, 10:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>My Thoughts:This can work well for both teams, espicially in New Jersey's situation, they can really stack up their front court. Mikki Moore, Kwame Brown, and Chris Mihm, is a great front court, and to go with a decent backcourt, in Farmar and Williams along with Carter/House the Nets should really add the ability to be able to swing it around and dump it in, something they havent been able to do. However the 2 rookies in the back who will probably play the point will cause some confusion and problems. I have full faith in Williams however, he is a more than decent point gaurd for the Nets in the future.The problem is that Mihm is gone for the season, and Brown is out until March, which could make this trade even less practical.The Lakers on the other hand, I think, are getting the better end of the deal. Kidd and Bryant in the backcourt with Smuch off the bench, and Odom leading the way in the frontcourt along Walton and Radmonavic could in a sense really complete the triangle offense, because Kidd can really shoot the ball and move it quicker than Smush. He also has a obvious defensive advantage over Smush as well. This trade really looks in the favour of the Lakers, and IMO has no real downfall for them.Also, I am getting this kind of message from the Nets GM with proposing this deal is that they seem to not have high hopes for this season. Trading for Mihm and Brown with those injuries say that they arent really focusing on this season and are already planning ahead for the future.Hey just for the sake of speculation I created this 3 team trade: What Do y'all think To LA:G Jason KiddTo NJ:C Kevin GarnettTo Minnesota:F Kwame BrownF Chris MihmG Aaron MckieFirst Rounder from LA Ok So obviously this wont happen, but if Mihm and Brown were having decent years, I think the possibility of a trade could happen. Add a draft pick to that, and maybe Minni can work out a deal. I mean people always said Minnesota is not getting any for KG anyways right?</div>Umm even with great year Minny would NEVER EVER CONSIDER THAT. LOL I know you just made it for fun, but those guys are a joke they will get 2 stars and a pick from the Bulls if they wanted to trade him so why get sucky guys and a worse pick? lolBut As long as the Lakers don't give up Bynum they win the deal.I hope it don't happen or Denver trys to get him since I am all about AI winning a title before he retires.

You can tell that they aren't doing anything to help out KG, but as loyal KG is he still didn't say he wants to be out. But there has also been rumours of him going and this 3 team trade could do it.

And if he does it would not be this. Why would they take this when the Bulls would give them a expiring in PJ Brown, 2 young studs in Deng+Gordan, and a first rounder come on man some people need to think.And also I read he might opt out of his contract after this year and leave that money and leave in the of season.HAHA would it be cool if he signed for the min with Denver just to win a title. hahaha Yeah I wish, but he and AI are friends. haha
