Re: Official Speculation & Free Agency Thread (Part VIII)
so Kobe acts like a baby again and since CP3 is in LAC expects for Dwight to be gift wrapped to LAL?

J-Rich needs to kick rocks.....Too inconsistent and virtually brings nothing to the table that Redick can't emulate

Yeah if its true that the Dwight posters have been taken down in Orlando,and with Dwight wanting out I wouldn't be suprised if Dwight is traded before Christmas to LA or NJ.Whoever has the best offer will get Dwight.
I have a funny feeling Dwight will get his wish to go to NJ.

They should just make it an all CA league the. Thats where everyone seems to want to go. I think its time for the small markets to ditch the nba and start a baseketball league.

I'm hearing Earl Clark's two-year deal is for a little over $1 million per year & includes a player option for 2nd year.

Maybe I'm bitter and stubborn as hell, but under no circumstances would I trade Dwight. I'd force him to walk away from the money when he becomes a FA if he still wanted to leave by season's end.
Truth be told, we're gonna suck with or without the LA/NJ packages. Bynum nor Lopez are worth max contracts, and we'd almost be obligated to re-sign them to whatever they wanted just to ensure that we didn't lose the main asset acquired in the trade. Unless OKC comes in with an offer, I'd choose to ride it out.

Why would a rebuilding team like the Jazz want a guy like him?

Quite simple - they need an upgrade at SF which means AK is officially gone.

If the kobe rumors are true then we may have a chance to pay them back for shaq and reward dwights loyalty. Hold dwight, if we dont trade him to LA they have very little chance of improving and keeping kobe happy. That and we cost dwight 30 million if he decided to walk.
He has to see he wont get to run the lakers if Kobe doesn't get to. That will allways be kobes team.

Kobe Bryant is livid with the Lakers, and he may demand a trade, Stephen A. Smith said Thursday. Appearing on SportsCenter, Smith said “I predicted that Kobe Bryant will demand a trade, and I am not budging from that. He’s livid. I’ve known Kobe too long. He is ticked off. “It’s not just because [the Clippers] got Chris Paul, which is a guy that he expected to have. It’s because Jim Buss seems to be doing the inexplicable,” Smith said. “It makes no sense. It’s one thing for the team not to have improved [after losing to the Mavericks], it’s another thing entirely for them to regress. If you know anything about Kobe, that is the last thing that he wants to do. “It will not be pleasant at all.” Larry Brown Sports
Here we go! Kobe to the Magic for Hedo, Duhon, and Redick.

If he does get traded, which i don't think he will, it would be weird to see him in another jersey. someone should put Kobe in a Magic jersey.

If this is the case, I say Lakers only get Dwight if we get Kobe/Bynum together. If they want their franchise to survive, they gotta give us Kobe/Bynum, and hell, Pau too.
