If wallace is not included then it would have to be a 5 for 1 swap, that would mean that Chicago would have to replace 3 players (before the season starts or as soon as the trade if finalized), and the Lakers would have 2-3 too many players so some people would need to be cut. Even if Heinrich was included only 6M of his 11M counts for matching salary because of BYC. Plus I really do not think Chicago is going to gut their team even for Kobe, as good as Kobe is its just not worth it for them. Besides that I don't think Kobe would agree to go to a gutted Chicago team.

PLEASE DONT MAKE THE TRADE WITHOUT NOCIONI!!! Deng, Nocioni, and ben gordon or thomas = kobe 24. ship his a** out! i am a huge lakers fan and Im getting tired of his sh**!! i havent run the numbers or played the trade machine, but i think its imperative that nocioni is included in the trade. i love his game and he is a great shooter.

Bulls get Kobe and maybe Vladimir. After this year Kobe opts out and accepts mid-level exception with Lakers. LOL! Lakers get Luol, Gordon, Thomas, and Noah. Bulls get Kobe and maybe Vladimir.

Kiss Kobe goodbye, all you Kobe fans. I went out with a friend last night who knows a current center on the Laker team and he admitted, the entire Laker squad all hate Kobe and want him gone.

How could they hate Kobe when he has carried them on his shoulders for the past 3 years???I think that it would have been better said that they hate on Kobe because he is the best player in the world.It’s not his fault that they cant step up to the challenge and perform like true profesionals…

Why do they hate Kobe??? Oh could it be because he publicly threw his teammates under bus, DEMANDING for change publicly. Basically he’s saying, PUBLICLY, my team sucks, I need new teammates.

As a true professional, and the supposed “leader” of the Lakers, and out of respect for your teammates who you go to war with 82 night a year, YOU DO NOT publicly bash them like this. Then he goes on and bashes Bynum publicly … and you are wondering why they hate him??? Are you blind???

If Kobe has a problem with his teammates, then he should address those issues privately within the organization. He shouldn’t cry and whine like a little b**ch making the organization look in disarray. Then he goes on to bash the FO. MILO - Have you ever wondered why KG did not want to come here? I mean even KG said that he didn’t want to deal with our FO, most likely because Kobe kept publicly saying it. And yes, our FO is probably is disorganized, but you do not publicly say it so the entire rest of the NBA knows it. Kobe’s idioacy is the reason why he will never be greater than Jordan.

At least then the front office would be choosing a direction and not just standing in mediocrity. One more thing. I don't understand why everyone, myxelf included, thought that the lakers would be back at a contending level in 2-3 yrs after trading Shaq. I just don't think that was a realistic goal. You can say all you want about potential trades that didn't happen, but the truth is no one knows if any of those trades were ever truly possible. Even the Kidd for Bynum trade. I hear sometimes that it was Odom and Bynum for Kidd and other times I hear that it was Brown, Bynum + fillers for kid. Even if it was the latter trade (which I find hard to believe), a Kobe, Odom, Kidd trio would not have won a championship (Turiaf would have been center with no one backing him up). We would have been better, but not championship level. I am so sick of hearing about all this Kobe-trade drama, that I would almost welcome a trade.
