We would get T. Prince, Marco Jaric and J. Howard for Bynum, Radman, Cook, Brown and Jordan Farmar.[/quote]

Personally I rather watch Kwame and Bynum develope than watch a lanky, soft sorry player (T. Prince), Marco Jaric (Detroits version of Bynum) and J. Howard (is he still playing?)

I think the best asset we have right now is Kwame expiring contract. We need that for a major trade like JO, not Prince!

I know we can’t get all three. What I meant was KJ type, JO type and etc. We could still have Kobe, JO and another playmaker. Those were examples.

[quote comment="11883"]in the suns game kobe jus shrugged it off and raja just walked away after his attack. had kobe jumped up and started a fight the rest of the guys would have been there to protect kobe.[/quote]

It’s too bad you see it that way. The idea is you stand up for your team mates. KB could have been really hurt. That’s why Bell was suspended for a game. A cheap shot deserves to be dealth with. KB, as you say, shrugged it off, becasue that was the only way he could have saved face.

These players are all soft.

I’ll ask again: could that same exact play have happened to Magic back in day? What if it was Kevin McHale clothes-lining Magic? Do you still think James Worthy or Cooper or Scott would have casually walk by as if he slipped on a wet spot.

I think not ….

We would get T. Prince, Marco Jaric and J. Howard for Bynum, Radman, Cook, Brown and Jordan Farmar. And that would be our roster:

D. Fisher/ M. Jaric/ JC

K Bryant/ Vujacic/ M. Evans

T. Prince/ L. Walton/ Coby Karl

L. Odom/ R. Turiaf

C. Mihm/ and that´s the bad point of this trade, we would need to hire another center. I do like Marc Gasol, but at least we have to wait one year to see him playing on LA.

What do you think about this one?

But ask yourself this: did they have a bench last year? Or do they have one now? How did NOT getting Kidd improve this team.

Name one consistant player the Lakers had off the bench for th elast three year???? You can’t! There was none. That’s my point.

Throwing farmar, cook or anybody else, would have been for salary purposes only. Nets only wanted Bynum, the rest were just garbage.

All you need to win a championship team in this league is 5 players:

1. a superstar – KOBE
2. a star – (KG or JO)
3. a playmaker (Kidd/ D-Fish)
4. a scorer off the bench ( say Big Shot BOB)
5. a scrappy player off the bench ( like Turiaf)

the rest of the players just buy minutes for the five types mentioned above.

During the 3-peat that’s what the Lakers had.
that’s what Chicago had in the 90s.
that’s what the Lakers had in the 80s.

KB, Odom, Kidd, Walton and Mihm – think about that!!!
how is that a championship team or even close. mihm was still hurt and no one even knows if he is healthy enough to play this year. your backup would be ronnie and where would the front line be without 2 of your big guys because you lose bynum and kwame in the trade. i love how people keep bitchin about all these trades that the front office should make and how it would make this team great over night. that team you say that would be so great would get killed in the first round anyways because you have no bench. all teams in the west have fast pg and kidd looks great in the east but look up his stats against the top west teams and you can see he is not that great. also he is 33 or 34 you think he can stay up with the young pg in a 7 game series. so please stfu and think before you open your mouth.

Just watch Odom and Kwame and the rest of the team. Look at their body language. Look at how soft they are. This is what KB has to deal with.

You think Larry Bird could have done that to Magic in the playoffs and gotten away with it.

Now go back and watch this video in which Kobe punched Reggie Miller. Kobe instigated the whole fight and the entire Laker team came to his aid.

look at Big Shot Bob and Shaq

No heart = no glory!!!

Couldn’t that really be said about every player. You invest 3-4 years of hard work into any player and they will be improve and some will become great.

When he was drafted the Lakers were not in a rebuilding mode. They had just played in the Finals!!!

With Jason Kidd, the Lakers would have been one small piece away from a title.

KB, Odom, Kidd, Walton and Mihm – think about that!!!

Not doing that trade was worse than doing the Shaq trade!!!!

The reason why KB keeps stressing the J. Kidd issue is simply because Kidd’s style of play is designed to make everyone else better – not Kobe’s job.

That’s what people don’t get about KB. He is not a point guard. He is not Magic. He is a scorer!

How many times did he try to change his style by feeding the ball to Kwame “butterfingers” Brown, only to watch him drop the ball and have Nash run it down the court for an easy two.

Apple and oranges my friends! Apples and oranges!

The idea of people asking Kobe to wait for Bynum to develope is like asking the smart kid in the class not to get A’s all the time because he is messing up the class curve.

F#%k Bynum and any other Laker player who doesn’t play hard every night.
