We already were talking about a sign-and-trade," said Bryant. "I liked the Bulls' direction." Bulls sources confirm Bryant's agent did ask the Bulls if they would agree to a sign-and-trade deal, and Bryant sent word he would approach the Lakers to make the deal or threaten to leave for nothing. A few days later Shaquille O'Neal requested a trade and Bryant eventually re-signed with the Lakers.</div> Source

Yea, I didn't even think about the Bulls comparisons. I was just thinking of how good that team could have been. Hinrich/Duhon @ point Kobe/Gordon @ sg Deng/Nocioni Curry/Othella Harrington Chandler/Davis Gritty guys @ pg, sg, sf, and c If they got Pjax to return to the Bulls that would have been quite a team.
