Who thinks Kobe Bryant should be traded?

Question

If so who they should trade for?

Answer 1

Latin Dragon 23,

Kobe will not be traded for several reasons:

1) The fans in L.A. are already pissed off enough as it is. They have had their hearts broken the last 3 seasons and if you trade Kobe i guarantee that people are going to dish out the kind of money you got to pay to get into a Laker game.

2) You can't get equal value for Kobe. The teams that have the most to offer in a trade may be a team like Phoenix (If you are the Lakers you really don't want to trade him to the West- you've to see him too often and he'll kill ya). Plus he is the type of player that can make a losing team a playoff team, and an average or above-average team a contender.

3) Kobe has a clause in his contract that allows him to veto certain trades so you can bet if they do trade him it'll be to a big market. So once again the Lakers will have a hard time getting equal value and even if they could- Kobe probably doesn't want to go to Atlanta, Milwaukee, or wherever (he wants to win). All the haters say he just wants to be the man and take all the shots (if that was the case- he could just stay with the Lakers). He would want to play for a team that has talent to be a contender.

4) If the Lakers trade Kobe, as earlier mentioned attendance will go down and it'll be hard to attract a big name player to such a huge market. The reasons the Buss haven't made all the moves they could've made is to save money- saving money will do them no good- if they become a bottom dwelling team with no fan support. The Laker franchise is to proud and has too rich of a tradiiton to let that happen. They are the team with the most wins in NBA history and 2nd most championships- they can't be the Atlanta Hawks,...

These are the reasons why Kobe will not be traded. The Lakers will make some moves which will make them more competitive and will put them one major player acquisition away from a Championship which they hope to get in the summer of 2008.

Now that he's made his discontent public, it's not a matter of should he be, it's when will he be. They're not going to keep a malcontent around if it's going to ruin the team's chemistry.

As much as Kobe is still young, they'll blow up the franchise and start over, trying the adage less is more.

Lakers will be a lottery team for a few years.

Answer 3

Kobe bryant should be traded to miami heats or to any other good teams because the team he plays for now LA lakers really sucks. no good player should be in a bad team.

Answer 4

No. He should be where he is since he asked for this. He wants to be the head man in L.A. so he got his chance. He is a great talent, but he has to have a "dominant" player along side him, not just a good supporting cast because he's not the type of player who can make his teammates thrive.

He is in other words a follower who wants to lead and he cut off a possible mini dynasty to do so.

Answer 5

Send him to the Bulls for a bag of Tortilla chips! It is my Dream and would even out the talent level in the East and West.

Oh and I hate the Lakers.

Answer 6

The Lakers would be crazy. They just won't be able to get equal value. Just let him have his tantrum, keep him out of Colorado and start up again in October.

Answer 7

No. as much as i could like to ascertain him traded (making the Lakers a stable team, as quickly as back). it is not gonna ensue. The fan's like him too lots. You heard all of them shouting "MVP!!!" He is in basic terms no longer traded, yet they might desire to commerce him.
