I have been a Laker fan since the days of Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. I hate what they have become with the whiner Kobe.
Would the Bulls or Lakers accept a trade that sent Kobe and Kwame to the Bulls for Noah, Gordon and Heinfich (Or Duhon)? Or even Odam and Kobe for PJ, Deng and Heinrich and Noah?
The Lakers have some great young Big men where PJ would help. And Critendon will bw the real deal in a couple years.
Any thoughts? Other scenarios you could invision involving the Lakers and Bulls?

No...Kobe isn't going anywhere, its impossible to get equal value for the best player in the NBA.

Not looking to answer your question, just to say that I feel the way you do about the Lakers and Kobe, also agree in your assessment of Critendon (I was hoping the Lakers would get him or Stuckey, both could be shooting guards and I think probably will be). Not bad to let Kobe go in two years with Critendon waiting in the wings, even better to get something for Kobe now. I do not like PJ Brown though, way past his prime never that good, though he has been an effective roleplayer on good teams in the past. Concerning the Bulls I like Tyrus Thomas but he may still be a project, Noah and Gordon, though I would take Gordon to fill in for Kobe untill Javaris is ready then look to deal him for a sound post player as I am afraid that neither Kwame or Bynum will pan out. If the Bulls would deal Deng instead of Thomas or Gordon that would be fine too. I just do not think it will happen, and the Lakers will underachieve and perhaps self-destruct with Kobe there.

Who'd want Kwame??????
I don't know about 'whiner,' because he kind of does have a reason to be mad. But if Kobe has a problem, he should say it to Dr. Buss's face like a man, instead of talking to himself in a parking lot and getting caught on tape my some stranger. Whatever he thinks is wrong with the team, he should say it to Dr. Buss.
He is the best player in the league today. But he really needs to quit acting like he's bipolar. Maybe he is

As a big Lakers fan, we need Kobe. Unless the Lakers would get Tim Duncan.....no trade would be fair. Even that trade is not completely fair because there is no other player as valuable as Kobe. They need to keep Kobe and start building around him like they were supposed to. Kobe is not the only one to blame here. The organization has failed him and Phil too.

Uh you shouldn't give up both Kobe and Lamar for anything except maybe the whole Suns or Spurs roster. But you know, I think if the Lakers can't get Garnett then they should trade Kobe. I know my fellow Laker fans will hate me for saying this, but think of how many players we could get in exchange for Kobe. With them we could build around Odom, who despite his inconsistencies at times, has shown that he can be a leader. But obviously it'd be hard to find a trade that would give us what Kobe provides. Whatever happens, I hope it's for the Lakers' benefit.

Getting rid of Kobe would be a smart move for the Lakers, but taking Kobe would be a fatal mistake for the Bulls. Remember when all the Bulls had was Jallen Rose...well, since then, the Bulls have been working very hard to stack their team with young guys with a lot of potential. Getting rid of Deng, Gordan, or Noah would be a mistake...especially when they'd be getting a selfish ball hog.

Sadly the Lakers have shown that they would put up
with all the selfish behavior of Kobe because they
think he is a big star and sells tickets and merchandise.
TO alangj91761's point that Kobe wants to win, if that
was so, he would not fight with Shaq and get him out
of town, because he wanted to be the man, and was
jealous of Shaq getting all 3 finals MVPs.
The truth is Kobe wants to be like Mike, as has shooting
all the time to get the scoring title shows. He is by far the
worst team player in the NBA today.
What I don't understand is why they think they can win
with Kobe, when he keeps blaming everyone on the
team and the GM and the Owner. Phil Jackson really
not as good a coach as I thought to let him do what he
is doing, he did call him uncoachable, but then these days
he just keeps quiet.
Just wish they would have kept shaq and traded kobe.
But as Shaq put it, Phil Jackson is a benedict arnold

Ben Gordon,Luol Deng,and Kirk Hinrich will not be involved in any trade for Kobe Bryant.

I know you hate what the lakers have become with Kobe but I hate what they have become with Kupchak. His refusal to trade Bynum has been the downfall of this franchise. They had a shot at Jason Kid, a perfect fit in Jackson's triangle offense, a pure point gurad who can score as well. But again, we can't get rid of Bynum. So I look at it this way, the Lakers have made Kobe have enough and I hate what the Lakers have become with Kupchak at the helm.
