If traded, what team would Kobe Bryant fit in with best and why?

Answer 1

I think atlanta would be a perfect fit. The Lakers are looking to rebuild young, and the Hawks are looking for anyway to fill seats (leagues worst attendance record), plus Kobe could still run the show in ATL. The Hawks have the #3 and #11 picks plus a wealth of decent young players with wich to bargain, and that has to look appetizing to the lakers. Kobe guarantees to put butts in seats, and that has to look good to the Hawks. Maybe they could work out a deal where LA gets the #3 and #11 picks from this year plus a future first round pick, plus a good young player like Marvin Williams or Josh Smith

Answer 2

The Suns. Kobe needs a point guard and Nash is it! He is the best in the league and Kobe knows it. Add to the fact that they are a winning club, it would keep him in the West to beat down the Lakers and it would relieve some of the pressure of always having to carry the load of the team. It wouldn't be hard to make the trade. I am sure the Lakers wouldn't mind having Marion, Diaw and a couple of high draft picks in exchange for Kobe. Marion is pretty much digging himself a hole in Phoenix anyway with comments he made in ESPN Magazine last month. This would be a great place for him because it is still close to L.A. Bottom line is, if Kobe is looking to win right now, Phoenix and it's uptempo pace is the place to be.

Answer 3

Personally I think that Kobe would be good on the Heat or Nuggets. Yes I understand that Kobe and Shaq weren't on the best of terms but they were a hot duel. Shaq and Wade are a hot duel with Kobe they will be almost the ultimate trio. I think Kobe should be with the nuggets bcuz him, Iverson and Anthony all seem to have pretty big ego's so maybe together they can become a threat to all other teams in the NBA.

Answer 4

Do any of you people who have answered this question realize that we are talking about a TRADE? It's not free agency. Kobe can't just GO to the Cavs, he has to be traded, and traded for a player or combination of players whose salaries are close to Kobe's. The Cav's could trade say Larry Hughes and Damon Jones for Kobe, but do you think the Lakers would really do that?

Answer 5

The Suns

Double Pick and Rolls

He would be a perfect inside and outside game and you better believe Nash could set him up.

That would be fun to watch!

Kurt Thomas - Shawn Marion and next years Atlanta draft pick for Kobe Bryant

And the Lakers could free up Thomas to make salary cap room

Answer 6

Kobe would be best in Chicago. They have a lot of young players in need of some leadership. He would give them the scoring that they desperately need. It's where he wanted to go had he not been convinced to return to the Lakers. Plus, in a weak East, he would have the Bulls in line for another championship.

Answer 7

i really don't think Kobe could fit in anywhere, Wow that sounded rude, and i didn't mean it to.He is a show off and has to be the star, so only with a team thats not very experienced and NEEDS him, other wise i think the other players would get sick of him.

Answer 8

BOSTON, because they have nobody that is of his talent, and they got screwed in the lottery, so unless they make a huge trade, they won't be good for another 20-30 years. Here's to another decade of finishing below .500!!

Answer 9

I don't know. Most teams won't want to trade their stars for Kobe so it is still unsure where he is going.

Answer 10

I hope they trade him to the Timberwolves. Since the stupid Laker organisation don't want to acquire KG (KG is the Man), then Timberwolves should acquire Kobe. Would be a sight to watch Kobe and KG. Man I hope that happens.
