Bucher on ESPN: Kobe would like to be traded now if Lakers are considering it

Ric Bucher on sportscenter, said that Kobe was ready to begin the season with the mindset that the Los Angeles Lakers were not going to grant his wish and trade him, but now that they have mentioned the possibility, he wants it to happen as soon as possible. Here are the deals he mentioned that were discussed.

Dallas offered Jason Terry and Josh Howard for him but that was rejected by Buss after a few days of thinking about it.

Then said, Chicago has been close but Lakers want Deng and Bulls wont bite.

Was this something that came out of Bryant's "camp?"

we all know perfectly well Kobe is not going to be traded. I'm tired of this ****. let's quit the charade, Kobe's going nowhere.

this would be the same ric bucher that said kobe would never wear purple and gold again? the same one who said that he'd sit out training camp? lol

Yea but hes giving out too much detail. Highly doubt hes just pulling this outta his ass.

If this is true, it disturbs me that it took "a few days" for Buss to think about it. Lakers get raped in every way in this trade. Mavs would need to trade Dirk and JET IMO and even then, I don't think it would make either team better.

Apparently, Chicago offered
Gordon, Noci, TyThomas

[QUOTE=BULLS]Just a terrible, pathetic attempt by Paxson to land the best player in the game. Does he honestly think that crap will work? This is Kobe motherf'ing Bryant here, in his absolute prime. Gordon/Deng/Thomas at the very least.[/QUOTE]

Frankly, I agree.
When you have Noci to take Deng's spot, you are looking very good.

Unfortunately, bad Laker trades have happened in the past. Most notably, the Shaq trade.

So it wouldn't surprise me if the Lakers accepted that trade.

I need Kobe to be shipped to the Eastern Conference. And the only two jerseys I can picture him doning are BULLS and KNICKS.

Just Do It, Pax ...

Plus, anyway you can ship BG's overrated ass outta here is a blessing. I'd do a Gordon / Deng deal 4 Bryant in a NY second.

I'm getting ready to just want Kobe off the Lakers. My favorite player of all time on my favorite team but it seems that him and the FO will never be on the same page...they both want different things.

It'll be exciting seeing Kobe compete for a chip on a new team and seeing the new youth movement on the Lakers...even though it will end in regret but whatever, if thats what the FO wants, so be it

My preference is Chicago, heres hoping they bite and part with Deng.

Kobe's gonna wear the [B][SIZE="4"]Bulls 45[/SIZE][/B]

WOW

I would do deng,thomas and thabo/noah any day.......I would love it
