Well, if you can't get a deal done before draft night for Kobe, don't trade him at all. I'd want a top 10 pick to be involved in a deal. So here is what we should do. Try to bring in players like Jermaine O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Ron Artest, Marcus Camby. The guys who have been rumored in trades with us lately. No don't think I am in idiot, we are not gonna get all 4 of them, we'd be fortunate to get 1-2 of them. Then try to trade the young guys like Mo Evans, Sasha, Cook, for veteran players. Bringing back guys from the dynasty may not be a bad idea. Try to get Fisher, Horry, if you can for guys like Cook, Sasha? Now that idea maybe far out there, but hey, we are in a desperate time right now. Then don't trade Kobe, keep him here, let the team develop into what it should become if we bring in any of those four, and just hope, all will be good, if it isn't, well then we may have no other alternative then to deal Kobe Bryant in Summer '08.
