In my opinion, Kobe will not be traded. But suposing he will, heres my idea Kobe for Amare and Barbosa, the salaries match Lakers Lineup 2007-2008 PG: Free agent signed with exception SG: Leandrinho Barbosa SF: Lamar Odom PF: Amare Stoudemire C: Andrew Bynum Bench: PG: Jordan Farmar SG: Vujacic-Evans SF: Walton PF: Turiaf-Cook C: Kwame Brown Thats a team with present and future. Just imagine Andrew and Amare in 3 years, Twin Towers 2.0 (like Robinson and Duncan), 18pts and 10rebounds each per game. Say your opinions abaut this, for me, this is a championship team And please draft Tiago Splitter from brazil, we need international talent
No man you're definately onto something here. I was thinking about this today at work as well. Unfortunately the Suns will probably not part with Stoudemire, so the trade I worked out, and what many sources are mentioning is some combination of Shawn Marion Either Leandro Barbosa or Boris Diaw and atlanta's first round pick next year. Either move Lamar to PF or trade him for a quality PG. I like your trade better but it's my understanding that pheonix will not trade Amare.
Yeah, I doubt the Suns would give up Amare, as he is their main big guy, and he fits great into the Suns half court system, as I see it.
I agree, the Suns could give us the best talent in return for Kobe, followed by Chicago. I'd take the combination of Marion/Barbosa or Barbosa/Stoudemire along with their two 1st round picks this year for Kobe Bryant.
All i can say is that... Nash's assists will surely decrease coz kobe IS NOT a spot up shooter like Bell coz he shoots of the dribble or in rythme Kobe's scoring will go down due to Amare LA wont be so dumb as to trade the worlds fiercest player to a team in the same division

I've always felt it was an overrated excuse not to trade to the same conference of division. You only face the team 4 times a season, and there's only a 1 in 7 possibility you face them in Round 1, 1 in 3 in Round 2, etc. If the Lakers organization wanted to wait and build around Bynum, you're looking at another 3 or 4 seasons, before he becomes a consistent presence in the post. It generally takes 5 or 6 years for a big man to develop, and Bynum has only played 2 seasons. Bynum-Odom-Marion-Barbosa-Farmar This would be an exciting team to watch, I'm not sure if they make the playoffs, but the goal for this new core would be building chemistry and stockpiling talent around Bynum. What Kobe and Phoenix did would be irrelevent to the Lakers future goals.
This trade is a real risky one but it could be potentially great for the Suns OR the Lakers or both.... I don't think the league is ready to see what Kobe and Nash would do. If Kobe went to Phoenix and Nash stayed, I think the NBA should invent a new Unfairness Clause that dictates that NBA fans not in Phoenix should get flown first-class to watch these 2 do their thing. Amare-Bynum-Odom with Leandro in the backcourt would make the Lakers instantly better though so..........
