He himself said, that he didn't care if he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, because it was all about management and how he wants them to be straight with him and have the same agenda.

I think that's pretty obvious from the rumors going around the league. I mean, what are you, stupid?
If I was Portland id trade Darius Miles + 1st overall pick for Kobe. I dont think Lakers fans would be dissapointed either. Portland would still be a good team(even contenders) since they are already above average at center and weak at sf(which kobe could mold well into)Just an idea though.

This is a very talented young team with a lot of potential that needs to be develop. Kobe would only mess everything up for Portland IMO, and they have a lot going for them.

Wow, words simply cannot describe the greatness of this post. If the Bulls offered all that for Kobe than Paxson is perhaps the worst GM in the league, and that's saying something when you consider the likes of Billy King, Danny Ainge, and Kevin McHale. A more realistic deal would be Hinrich, Gordon, and the #9. LA gets it's back court of the future along with another forward (Green, Wright, Thornton, Noah) to play alongside Odom. Plus they get to keep Bynum who they are in love with.

Why not develop him? A big man is better to build your team around. Plus, the Blazers are a young team with amazing potential. Why bring in Kobe, a player who will demand the ball, and limit the devlopment of all the young players on the team. I think it's in the Blazers best interest to not trade away any of their young talent and just let it grow and let them grow chemistry together. They are most likely to grow great chemistry with Oden rather than Kobe, a player who always seem to be in some sort of conflict.

As for the Oden idea, Portland is much better off just keeping the pick. Oden is younger, and it's always easier to build around a center than a guard as they're a lot harder to find.

No team will ever trade 2-3 good/great players for Kobe Bryant. Trading Gordon, Wallace, Deng, and a 1st could possibly be the most retarded trade I've ever heard in my life. The Lakers would now be a very good team (much like the Bulls right now), and the Bulls would be much like the Lakers right now. The other 3-4 trade scenarios you posted were just as absurd, and unrealistic. Kobe is not god, I'm sorry. I'd rather have 3 good players than have Kobe Bryant alone. You need to stop sucking his dick..

Kobe is easily one of the best players in the league in terms of value to his team, but theres just no way teams would be willing to completely dismantle what they have just to get him. Do you seriously think Washington would give up Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler for him? The whole post was stupid because you basically said "Kobe for the other teams two best players + a 1st round pick" Kobe is good, but no team is stupid enough to do that...
