Kobe is a Genius

Kobe Bryant asked for a trade from the LA Lakers earlier this week saying that the franchise was not going anywhere and demanded to be traded. Then later on in the day, he said that he wanted to be a Laker all his life. So which one was it???

Why do I call Kobe a genius? Because he is in the ultimate win/win situation now. If he gets traded, he is going to be make the team better instantly and if he stays in LA, he is going to get a star to come join him. Bill Simmons of ESPN.com had an article that related to the trade situation. He suggested Philadelphia giving the Lakers Samuel Dalmbert and Andre Igoudala which would keep the Lakers as a pretty decent team in the West and then would make the 76ers a great team in the East, only problem is the Phillie fans hate Kobe which I think Bryant would have trouble reacting to all the boos especially if they are not winning games. Also great deals in there were going to Chicago or Phoenix which if he went to the Suns, they would be hands down the NBA champions. They would just have a ridiculous roster that would be damn near unstoppable.

Here is the other situation, he gets a great star from another team and yes it will happen in my opinion. He will not be traded instead he gets a great player to join him. Who will that be you ask? They have already mentioned that Jermaine O'Neal and Danny Granger for Lamar Odom and somebody else from the Lake Show. That would be a great trade for the Lakers even though O'Neal is injury prone, it still gives them a very good O'Neal back in LA. But this is the trade I think you will see happen.. Kevin Garnett in a LA Laker uniform. I know that he is getting old although he is still good enough to get Kobe to being a top-tier team in the West. I worked out the trade already for Kupchak, he sends Odom, Vladmir Radmonivic, and Jordan Farmar for KG. It is a good deal because you get a guy in Odom who will give you production, Radmonivic has a good jumper, and Farmar is up and coming who might be a great point guard in a couple years.

We will have to wait and see.

Later
