wow, if what steven a. smith said was correct, then we were trying to trade tmac for kobe, and if t-mac was healthy the lakers would accept the deal.

how crazy would it be if we actually traded t-mac for kobe before the regular season? that would be a very interesting reunion since the rockets are playing the lakers the very first game.

I can see Kobe repeatedly passing the ball to the Laker squad ... oh maybe not so much

Actually Yao for Kobe may be good for both sides. We can also trim down our rosters.

Very interesting. Was this on ESPN Radio? If not, what station was it?

It was on XM radio, ESPN, channel 140 at the very end of his show today.

A franchise altering, blockbuster trade for a possible championship contender a week before the season starts? Seems a little too drastic for my taste.

Is the show archived? I tried to find a copy online but was unable to find it. How are you going to hear it?

The deal was mentioned on First take this morning as well- I think a viewer sent in a trade proposal of tmac + steve for kobe

obviously its just conjecture, but interesting nonetheless <-- is that one word?

Tmac or Kobe? The debate can go on forever, however you can't just look at stats, you gotta look at chemistry, and you gotta look at how your big man is gonna react, in my opinion, Yao would be pissed.

Yes, it's been proved time and time again that (besides winning those 3 straight championships) Kobe can NOT co-exsist with an All Star type center.

Seriously, I think this is just SAS being SAS. Kobe isn't going anywhere. It is what it is, if you will.

Yes, I saw that. I was thinking that those were just specific sound bites or interviews from the show. Hopefully it will be on there. Again, it was at the very end of his broadcast right before he signed off.

Metaphorically speaking, I'd be wetting my pants for that deal.

In all seriousness though, that's a no-brainer. But I don't see the Fakers offering up Kobe for T-Mac straight up.

it isn't far fetched now, looks like the fakers are getting desperate to get rid of him.

Personally, I wouldn't want Kobe in a Rocket's uniform, but I know I'm probably in the minority on that. In any case, it's hard to see Tracy going along with such a swap. Granted, he doesn't have a no trade clause, but why would the Lakers want a superstar that doesn't want to be there, since that's the entire point of trading Bryant in the first place.

I sure hope not. McGrady is a superior fit for this offense.

I agree but it's tempting. Kobe can do whatever Tmac is capable of doing except making more assists than points.

T-Mac
Kobe
Battier
Scola
Yao

Wow!!!

Hmmm.

Kobe + Shaq = WINNARS x 3

Kobe + ____ = NADA

Kobe + Yao = ¿WINNARS?

Now that I look again, you're probably right. Although, one of the clips is over 30 minutes, so we might get lucky.
