Lakers need to trade Kobe.....

[QUOTE=oh the horror]Of course they would. Shit, fans loyalties would go right down the drain with a purposes trade like that. But the reality is, Kobe, due to his age and contract are impossible to move.[/QUOTE]

To be honest even if they could move him through some form of divine intervention with all he's done for the franchise I doubt they would do it. Kobe has always been and will always be a Laker until he retires.

If they traded him the pieces they get should be able to improve the Lakers record, but Kobe is not going anywhere.

Only way Kobe gets traded is if he asks to get traded which i cant see him ever wanting, he also wouldnt want to get called a ring chaser either (even though its exactly the same when you get Nash and Howard to come and join your team).

[QUOTE=longtime lurker]Yeah I'm sure the Lakers wish they didn't have those 5 championships and all those millions of dollars that Kobe brought in :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Yeah I hear you. The lakers have milked it too but this is the Lakers and they will make the millions with or without Kobe. Thats my point. Lakers made kobe not kobe made lakers. Kobe and his stans think its kobe who made the lakers. Thats the problem.

Let me ask you something. What millions were the Lakers making with no Shaq and no Kobe? They were already losing fans to the Clippers with just Kobe and garbage. You think they get a billion dollar TV deal without Kobe being there? Yeah right.

[QUOTE=9erempiree]As a first and foremost Kobe fan, unlike most band wagoners or those who are Lakers fan, I believe the Lakers should trade Kobe.

Since I am a fan, I think it's better served if he goes to a contender and help them win. His time with the Lakers are up and the team is definitely going in another direction. Now is the time to trade Kobe to a contender and in return the Lakers can get some young pieces while they rebuild.

I can think of 20 teams in the league right now, who would be instant contenders with the services of Kobe Bryant.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=PJR]Dwyane Wade embodies unselfishness, quality teammate, and greatness. He doesn't care about labels, or winning it a specfic way like Kobe the wannabe Jordan, needing to be "the man", "go to scorer". Just winning.

Kobe sacrificed for Shaq because he had to(because Shaq was flat out better). But he hated it. Resented it. And he's admitied to as such.

Wade is the sole reason why Bron was comfortable with coming to Miami. Because he knew Wade(his good friend) would go out of his way to sure that it would be a smooth and seemless transistion in the long run. And Wade has done exactly that.

LeBron would never seek out to play with Kobe.[/QUOTE]

It's not about the Lakers getting rid of Kobe because he's the only bright spot this year.

I say Kobe should force a trade and get out of the mess in Los Angeles and go win Finals MVP elsewhere.

Kobe leads the Grizz to the promise land.

I like it.

Kobe is the one guy that can definitely lead them to a ring.
