ZoomSlowik Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 03:06 PM) Whether or not it'd be better including Gordon or Kirk overall isn't necessarily the point in this sort of deal though. The point that no one should forget is that Kirk's contract makes a deal like this 1000% easier. You have to include like 5-6 guys to come up with a legal deal for Kobe if you don't include Kirk or Wallace. And if it was possible to get Kobe Bryant without giving up more than 1 of Gordon, Deng, TT, Wallace, and Noah, it'd be hard not to jump at that.  Kirk is still a base year compensation player, so they can only count half of his salary in a deal. That makes the difference between him and Gordon negligible financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullpenHeat Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 For what its worth, I believe he said that Hinrich and Artest would be going to the lakers. So probably Gordon and a big would go to sacremento. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot7 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Trade either Gordon or Hinrich - but both? I trust Paxson better than me to make this trade. Now, to important things - what # does Kobe wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 03:23 PM) used to wear 8, now 24. you know, 1 better than 23.  Looking at that Statue outside the United Center and putting on the bulls uni should motivate Kobe to play out of his mind. We all keep forgetting, that having a legitimate stud is what seperates a team that gets into the playoffs from a team that goes to the finals. We saw last year, what happens when a hot and cold shooting team gets into the playoffs. Sometimes, they look like world beaters, the next day like crap. A guy like Kobe is the difference maker that you put the rock in his hand and let him take over. Gordon and Hinrich   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) rick bucher on am1000 just said that the deal with the kings isnt very close.....but he said a deal with ben gordon and ben wallace is being discussed and its believe to involve a different 3rd team that isnt the kings   he also added that the odds bryant will be traded this season are 100% Edited October 31, 2007 by daa84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 this is getting freaking out of hand. kobe is now rejecting deals to the bulls that pax and buss have agreed on. insanity.

knightni Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 There's a rumor out there that Lamar Odom was in a car accident today. Â I wonder how that would affect the Lakers' trade offer? Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 For what its worth, Paxson told the Daily Herald that the rumor is false. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it was recently 90% true. So, if it's totally, 100% false, that makes it only 10% false overall. It has to be 190% false before we can really dismiss it.

DBAHO Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hmmm, would people prefer trading Hinrich and Gordon, or Gordon, Thomas and Noah for Kobe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 12:29 PM) I was going to ask the basketball experts, if we lose Hinrich and Gordon, who will play pg? Or is that not even a big of deal once we get Kobe It wouldn't be a big deal and duhon is more than capable of being a league average starting pg (especially with Kobe/Deng and the rest of the squad relatively intact).

JDsDirtySox Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I want to keep Hinrich and Deng... Noah, Tyrus, Gordon can all go. I would love a starting lineup of:  Kirk Kobe Lu Joe Smith Big Ben  with Noc Tabo Gray Griffin getting minutes off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I would love to see a Thomas, Noah, Gordon, and Duhon/Khryapa deal, but we would need to get another cheap big for the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 So apparently Magic Johnson, VP of the Lakers, came out and said no deal will happen with the Bulls due to there reluctance to give up Luol Deng. There was also some rumors about a deal with Phoenix/Chicago/LA that would involve Marion heading to LA, Kobe to Chicago, and Gordon/Other Bulls headed to Phoenix.

witesoxfan Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 So if Kobe won't go to Chicago without Deng being there (I think I've read that), and the Lakers won't accept a trade without Deng in it...uhh, am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
