BEC said it best so far. The Bulls not trading Deng isn’t so much about developing talent as it is playing the hand. The Lakers have very little standing in the matter. The best possibility is that the team overachieves markedly and Kobe becomes happy again. This is a slim possibility seeing as Kobe has yet to rescind his trade demand and Buss has very clearly acted as a jilted lover.
If that does not happen, the Lakers have a situation where they can expect diminishing returns. They can’t dictate a trade because of Kobe’s no-trade clause and his clear unwillingness to move to but a few teams (big market, contending). Other teams have to know that, so why would they feel like they have to make ‘fair’ offers given they are little other offers for them to compete against?
At the same time, Kobe’s value will diminish as next summer, he will have a minimum of one year left (not to mention, the 15% kicker).
Buss and the Lakers are in a terrible position.

Why do people keep metioning Agent Zero?, his game is nice but not close to Kobe. Kobe has the best all around game in the leauge if we trade him we need to recieve a package of players not just Agent Zero. KB has that killer instinct that’s unmatched, there’s no equal value for KB period. Nash, Dirk, Arenas, none of these guys play defense, Duncan, Wade, LeBron, Bosh, Stoudamire, teams won’t part with and even if they did still not equal to Kobe. We have the best player arguably ever without a proper supporting cast. LO has a nice game but lacks intensity, Bynum still needs more time the rest of the team average. If we lose Kobe we’re losing our team.

KOBE IS LAKER 4 LIFE…WATCH!!!!!

Kobe is destined to be a Chicago Bull. He will go to Chicago and never lead them to a championship. When he’s long gone and retired, people won’t remember Kobe for winning 3 titles with LA. He will be remembered as the guy in Chicago who wasn’t as good as Michael Jordan… and couldn’t lead the Bulls to a championship like Mike.

Rumors

2: a statement or report current without known authority for its truth
3archaic : talk or report of a notable person or event
4: a soft low indistinct sound : murmur

Can we please stop with these stupid rumors which have no truth to them at all. Thier baseless. Why arent we talking about the damn game they played last night?
I hate this stupid lying bullcrap.
Need an article spread a stupid rumor.
Are we all so gullible as to believe these lying so called journalists?
Come on people lets talk Laker Basketball and stop adding to these lies.
