They won't do that. The Spurs aren't about to trade 2 allstars for 1

The Lakers would never go for that trade. Never.
And I don't know how Kobe would deal with being second fiddle again. He's been without Shaq for a couple of years now, and I think he enjoys being the Alpha dog.
Even if Kobe and Duncan could co-exist with no problems, I'm still not sure if the Spurs would be better after the trade. Think about it: the Spurs would be upgrading their shooting guard position (Kobe for Ginobli) but they would have a huge hole to fill at point guard. Parker is an All-Star, and although sometimes inconsistent, he often plays like the best player the Spurs have on the floor.
With Shaq slowing down, however, they would probably be a better 1-2 punch then the Heat.

yes they will because shaq's at the end of his career, wade's at the beginning of his. duncan and bryant are both in the years of their prime, and have much more years together if this happened.and more years give more chances so yes they would win more championships then wade-shaq because shaq might retire after this season or the next one... so you have to say that duncan-kobe would be a better combo than shaq-wade. As for the heat and spurs if shaq leaves so do the willing players to play for the heat, yet spurs with that combo attract quality players.

Wow, I never thought about that. That would be dope! Well, since Kobe is already better than Wade and nowadays Duncan and Shaq are also pretty close I would have to say yes.
I have a better one though. What if Garnett gets traded to the Cavs and play with James. Can you say "do it all"?

You should probably read my answer on the guy who asked if the Warriors should trade Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, and Baron Davis for Kevin Garnett. Please stop wasting your time coming up with trades that would never happen. Let the GM's of the teams manage their teams. There is a reason, after all, they are the mangers, they know what they're doing (perhaps with an exception of Isiah Thomas. No offense to the great Detroit Piston, but I question his ability to successfully manage a NBA team).
So in short, it would never happen. And since it would never happen, I really dont want to answer it. However I will. The answer is no, they wont be better. I think you have forgotten that the reason the Miami Heat won is not Dwayne Wade and Shaq (although that is a big, big factor), it was their depth. Jason Williams and Gary Payton run the point. James Posey, Antoine Walker, Udonis Haslem, Alonzo Mourning, and others for depth. The Spurs would have who playing point guard? Nick Van Exel? Beno Udrih? Oh and who is playing center? Francisco Elson? They lost Nazr and Nesterovic. The Spurs, even with Kobe Bryant, would get run over by the Heat. By the way, I am a huge Pistons fan and hate the Heat and the Spurs.
EDIT- I just read other answers, and one really interested me. Not sure who, but someone said:
"look at detroit. before they traded big ben away, he was their biggest star, and he only avg bellow 10 pts per game. "
First of all, Detroit did not trade Ben Wallace. Ben was a free agent this offseason. Detroit offered Wallace a deal worth around 12 million dollars a year, and he refused for a deal worth near 14 million dollars. Ben left for nothing. He is now a Chicago Bull, and will be for, I think, 5 years. (Unless he gets traded from them). Joe Dumars tried DESPERATLY to get a sign-and-trade done so Ben wouldnt leave without getting something in return, but it didnt work. If you remember earlier this season, the Pistons traded Darko Milicic and Carlos Arroyo for Kelvin Cato and a future 1st. The reason was to clear cap space to resign Ben Wallace. Carlos Arroyo was making $4,000,000 and Darko was near $4,000,000 as well. Kelvin Cato was making $8,000,000 and his contract expired, thus giving the Pistons cap relief to make a push to resign Ben. So, in the end, we lost Darko (who is showing whats hes made of when given the chance, in Orlando) and we lost Ben. With our left over, saved money we signed former Spur center Nazr Mohammed, former Cavalier guard Ronald Murray, and former Piston Ronald Dupree. I believe the absence of Ben will hurt our defense, but the addition of Murray and Mohammed still make us one of the best in the NBA.
Edit 2- Oh and I just saw that he was saying that Ben averaged below 10 points a game because he is our biggest star, and its all about them chemistry. Well, your wrong. Sorry, but you obviously dont know basketball. Ben wallace is a worse free throw shooter than Shaq, and cant play offense worth crap. He is a complete liability on the offensive side of the ball. The Bulls will now be paying Wallace 14 million dollars to rebound and block shots.

That relies upon on which participant/s the Lakers receives in replace for Kobe Bryant. enable's admit it, Kobe is a very proficient participant. i'm not his greatest fan, yet I extremely could say he has were given wonderful expertise. innovations-set-smart, i wager there lies the challenge. in my opinion, short of shopping for and promoting him for both huge-call skills like a Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade or LeBron James, Kobe should be traded with 2 gamers. Any team with Kobe in it without delay lifts that team's offensive sock. So, a Kobe commerce is sturdy for the Lakers in the adventure that they get a participant or gamers who can approximate the failings that he does on-court as pondered on the stat sheet, yet minus the off-court distractions. Frankly, eliminating the innovations-set difficulty, and the attendant off-court distractions is already a huge-plus for the Lakers. yet at this aspect, i do not see any commerce take care of any team. Rumors of a three-team commerce concerning l. a., Chicago and Phoenix (with Shawn Marion going to the Lakers) may not push by. Bulls GM Jim Paxson already stated they're not heavily thinking figuring out to purchase and promoting for Kobe today.... and that i don't believe of Marion, proficient as he's (i love the Suns plenty), will be a sturdy commerce for the Lakers because he performs a similar position as Lamar Odom and a pair of different gamers.

hard to answer, as for a team to be good, besides talents, chemistry is also needed. look at detroit. before they traded big ben away, he was their biggest star, and he only avg bellow 10 pts per game.
if kobe goes to spurs for parker and gino, yes, the spurs will have the talent to win the ring, but who knows about the chemistry between him and duncan..between him and popovic...

you have to understand this WILL NOT HAPPEN. never. NEVER. kobe is probably the most untouchable (tradwise) player in the NBA. the spurs would also never do it. hypothetically though, yes of course duncan and kobe would be better. kobe is better than wade, and duncan is better than shaq, so yes.
