    With all do respect for one of the greatest center ever play the game of Basketball. Hakeem wants out , which he mentioned that it will be for the best of the team to open some cap room and with all the problems going on in the Lakers team. I wonder if they would consider Kobe Bryant for Hakeem.Would you hesitate to pull the green light? Need your input? [​IMG]

    Even if the Lakers would consider such a lop-sided trade...NO WAY! Kobe is damn good, but Francis and Mobley would have a $hit fit because they'd never see the ball!!

    Why do people post stupid thoughts like this. A KG or Shaq trade would go down before this. (as the Rockets wouldn't do something like this ... the would waive him first)

    its all good and fun till someone gets hurt ... then its absolutely hilarious!

    Lets see hmmmmm.

    Kobe - one of the youngest players in the league. Highest ppg. good passer and slasher and crowd favorite.

    Hakeem - one of the oldest players in the league. Has maybe 1 or 2 good years left assuming no injuries to his 38 year old self. Would make a good back up center.

    Yeah , that's a fair trade that I'm sure Phil Jackson will jump at.


    whatever....

    This is a horrible deal. The only way it would be even would be to add Horace Grant and Robert Horry.

    Then, maybe the Rockets should consider it.

    Let's see, it's not OK to call a basketball player a b****, but it's OK to call me a b****? That makes sense.

    I love, and will always love Dream for the joy he's given me as a Rockets' fan. But I am a Rockets' fan first and foremost, and I don't appreciate his current ploy. Just like I didn't appreciate Elie or Pippen. Anytime a player puts himself above my team, that's how I will feel. Period.

    The Lakers wouldn't do that deal anyway, but it wouldn't matter to me even if they would. Kobe is a selfish ballplayer, and probably always will be. He makes me sick the way he tries and act like MJ. I was no huge MJ fan, but I had great respect for him. I could almost swear that Kobe is even trying to talk like MJ. Anyway...Kobe is probably the only player in the league that could make me not a Rockets fan, no matter how good his game is.
