    It also goes into how the Bulls almost got Kobe in a trade.

    I wish they had traded him to a retirement home then.

    When all is said and done we will hear about how we almost traded Raymond Felton for a packet of Heinz Ketchup.

    That would have been a great trade.

    I bet we tried trading Roy/LA+Oden for him in 07 too.

    I wouldn't trade with the Lakers on general principle. I mean really, look at their history. If they are trading with you, you're giving up more than you should. There is an angle they've worked out that blah, blah blah, down the line you'll end up losing out. I am sure Neil has picked this up too after running the other lemonade stand on their block. So all you can do is sign Ed Davis and give them the middle finger....

    Eight years ago, the Lakers front office still had the stones to try and stay great. You sell your best player when they have peaked but before everyone sees the slide downward. You buy the next big thing before they're too big to move. That's the ruthless way great teams stay great.

    Kaman isn't really a player, he's a caveman that occasionally picks up a basketball while looking for two sticks of wood to rub together.

    The Lakers wanted that trade because only Lebron knows how to fire a coach

    Nah, this is when Kobe was hinting he'd leave the organization. the "Fuck Andrew Bynum" shit when he wanted Jason Kidd on the Lakers instead at that time. He was ready to bolt or demand a trade.

    Certainly not good for the Ketchup.

    If Ketchup knows what's good for him he'll stay the hell away from anything involving Felton.

    When I'm on my death bed I'm going to lean over to my kids and say "Would you tell me just one more?" (Felton Fat joke).
