Also, we are in talks of receiving Luther Head, and possibly (but unlikely) Ron Artest. The only piece we have to offer for Artest would be Luke Walton. PG Luther Head SG Kobe Bryant SF Ron Artest PF KG C Mihm (or MLE)

However, he's not going to go anywhere where the losing will be worse than what it is right now. That's why the deal to LA would be more likely. He and Kobe would be a great duo and by all means should be able to go rather deep, even though the West is stacked.

Even with better and younger role players then the Lakers?
<div class="quote_poster">Mamba Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Obviously KG doesn't think so if he rejected a trade there.</div> I would question KG's thought process then, because Paul Pierce is better than anything Minnesota has, and Boston plays in the weakest division in the East. The Celtics could put a lineup on the floor with Rondo-Pierce-Gomes-KG-Jefferson, with a bench of Wally, Allen, Powe, and West. This is a formidable team in either conference. I can understand why KG would rather stay in a warm city and join a team like Phoenix ahead of Boston. But if the TWolves can't get a deal done with Phoenix, Lakers, Clippers (I heard they're also in the background), or the Warriors, then KG might back off from his original No to Boston stance.

Man the suspense is killing me.. KG has always been #2 on my all-time favorite list . only 2nd to Kobe because Kobe is a Laker.. I usually don't get too into all the trade rumors but recently I can't help myself but read every article and join in on every discussion about him coming to L.A. Just thinking about the possibility of KG and Kobe, two players who play with the most passion for the game playing together makes me cringe. I love watching hard working players who really play like they love the game. I don't care who gets shipped out to get him, just please keep Ronny, Jordan and Kobe..
