Kobe's probably only going to accept a trade to the Rockets (no trade clause) if the Rockets give him a rediculous contract extension, at 27 million.....that's 6 mil more than tmac's getting paid plus another starter (probably) and depth from our bench.....not worth it. The only way I would approve of a trade for Kobe is if they're trading T-Mac for Kobe straight up.
hey may not have to shoulder the scoring load last yr, but he had to shoulder the offense more than ever in his career last yr w/ this team. his usage rating of 32.9 was the highest of his career. a player like tracy, the triangle offense would be perfect for him b/c all he has to do is get into his spot and look to score or create off the movement. that offense is perfect for a perimeter player who has a great outside and inside game, like tracy.
kobe has said he would only accept a trade to chicago, dallas, and suns. hmm i wonder why? in chicago, he still gets his 27-28 shots b/c u would trade gordon/deng to get him. in dallas, he still gets 25-27 shots b/c u would have to get rid of dirk. in suns, well they don't have a good 1-on-1 plyaer so kobe can still get his. now in houston, we have a guy named yao, even though he's the best center, kobe never mentioned this team EVER as where he wanted to go. wonder why? maybe less shots? lesser chance to win MVP b/c hard to split votes? can't avg 30 pts no more?
He didnt breakdown at all when he had to carry the load when yao went down to injury. if anything during that stretch he was being touted as the best player in the league. then again, you and other YOF here like yao_fan_2007 or as he's other monkier which is tmackobeyao were watching any of the rocket games then anyway. it makes sense, if yao is'nt there, why would yao fans even bother watching the rockets.
It's become there ignorant excuse to rag on tracy. the ironic thing is, tracy over the last 4 years as a rocket has had one year where he missed any significant amount of games. he's missed lot less games then what yao has. Even all the YOF's here golden boy kobe has missed more games then tracy due to injury in the last 3 years. but the sterotype and unfounded stupid baseless rubbish keeps on making the rounds. hell tracy played 70 games last year. thats durable by anyones standards.
no, his ENTIRE career he only had one year where he missed about half a season. and yet that's the only thing they can diss him. sure his back is not 100%, but it's manageable now where it won't cause him to miss games. ppl say tracy can't score as he used to and they used the ONE season where he just came back from an injury. it's like i'm going to judge michael jordan based on his first season back from retirement (or half a season) and say he won't be the same when he first came back. then he dominated like normal the next yr. THIS YEAR, u can judge tracy and see if he's lost anything if at all. he has trained himself this offseason. he's in shape to START the season. i expect him to be one of the 2-3 best scorers this year. last yr was just a "practice" year to see how he can adjust to his back, the process of getting over his fear... i don't want to see tracy traded b/c his best chance to win is here. but if he is, the good thing is you see him shut all these fools up by avg 30, 6, 6 and then no one will say he has lost a step.
kobe just sat out ANOTHER practice w/ a sore knee. hmm, is he afraid to be traded for tracy where he'll come here and get this star treatment from the fans?
That's a ridiculous trade for the rox and will never happen. T mac+bonzi+scola is wayyyy better than kobe + vlade i'd take t mac + bonzi or t mac + scola over kobe bryant, i'd even take t mac over kobe. t mac is the man we need for the team. if the rox can stay healthy, they will definitely go deep in the playoffs, if they can't stay healthy, bring old shaq and jordan here, no much difference. if healthy, sky's the limit for the current rox roster and no need for a crazy trade such as this one.
Agree. Can we get away from this? People think Tracy is already done. No. You probably do not know what Patterson has done. His first doctors did not know what to do. Tracy noticed it and he found Patterson. Patterson helped him cause he has already known that. He knew what was goin' on. He knows everythin about that injury, that's all
I won't be suprisin' if Kobe gets hurt for a longer time. He's had a knee problems for a longer time.
i think if we have to give up bonzi and scola with t-mac, the deal is not good for the rockets. if we can throw head in and get the deal done, it would serve us a lot better. yao/scola/battier are the top 3 players i want to keep so they can play with kobe. everyone else is fair game in trade talks, imo.
This is a bit offtopic but... At LakersGround they are reporting a rumor from an LA radio station (AM 570) that a Kobe trade to the Mavs is in place, for Howard, Terry, and 2 first round picks. Furthermore, it has been reported that Kobe missed practice today and has cleaned out his locker. Of course, he's been rumored to have been traded to Chicago and us already.
If Dallas keeps Dirk and gets Kobe this could be bad news for the rest of us. I don't see LA sacrificing Kobe for Howard and a couple late 1st round picks. Dirk AND Howard for Kobe sounds more like it.
Agree. Everybody says Kobe's great cause he is but when you look not every team would like to trade him. Cuban would never do that, not only cuban i think
You do know that Cuban and Buss are like best friends, right? If Cuban doesn't want to part with Dirk (no way in hell he will) then Buss isn't going to pressure him. I just got home and haven't heard much about the rumor, but I think that's a fair trade.
Kobe>>> Dirk. The Mav.will do it if Lakers are willing to do it. This will be not good news for the Rox if Kobe goes to the Mav. JH and JT for the Lakers, not possible.
