    Kobe for Rashard and Dooling/Bogans and or Reddick and picks</p>

    Orlando gets Kobe - self explanatory</p>

    LA gets Rashard who would be like a bash brother with odom... Lakers let go of Kwame (8M cap space) + the 2M space gained from the Ariza trade... thats 10M to sign a decent or above average FA SG or scorer... or the lakers can choose to play big ball with farmar, walton, lewis, odom, bynum</p>

    Some FA this summer:</p>

    Restricted: Josh Smith, Deng , Gordon, Devin Harris, JR Smith, Iguodala, Kevin Martin</p>

    Unrestricted: Iverson, Baron, Maggette, VC, MArion (lol at odom, marion and rashard in one team), Artest, Arenas, Jamison</p>

    Orlando: Nelson, Kobe, Hedo, Dwight, Battie BN: Arroyo, Kwame (FA LOL), Cook, Evans, Bogans or Dooling, Foyle</p>

    LA: Farmar, FA, Lewis, Odom, Bynum BN: Mihm, Turiaf, Vlad, Walton, Reddick (another young player to develop alongside bynum), Ariza</p>

    All sides will surely be happy!</p>

    Come on Laker Fans! we all know that we cant get equal value... why not just trade him and hope for the best? after all... we cant trade kobe without him being happy due to is no trade clause...</p>

    As of now i cannot see why the 3 sides would not accept this trade (kobe, La, orlando)... please post your thoughts</p>

    *Note: Lets let go of Kwame and sign Antwan Jamison from the Wizards... or maybe a S&T for Lamar and Jamison</p>

    Kobe is a fantastic player...but the Magic are winning games with what they have now.Why would Orlando want to break up what they have going on?</p>

    Rashard's contract is ridiculous. The player the Lakers need to unload is Lamar Odom.</p>

    I'd guess that Orlando (and Van Gundy) would welcome Odom to the Magic. But I don't really see who they would trade for him...or why.</p>

    Ok so basically we trade Kobe for Rashard Lewis. Hell no. We're better off keeping Kobe for another 2 seasons (if he opts out) rather than rushing for a trade, because there are absolutely no good options out there.</p>

    no. why would magic do it. also why would kobe do it. magic are already working really well together, they dont want to break that up. kobe and the lakers are seeming to stich things up a little bit, but you can never tell can you. odom being traded should be the lakers number one priority. trade odom and kwame for a good SF and maybe a PF thrown in.</p>

    Chemistry? LOL... The reason they are winning is coz Dwight has someone to kick out to in the perimeter if he is doubled... LOL Kobe will be an upgrade over shard...</p>

    Why for the Lakers? Maybe odom wants to play SG or wants the offence to go through him 'again' LOL</p>

    Don't Lewis and Odom play the same position? And don't the Lakers already have about 8 forwards?</p>
