Tonight here in Las Vegas, the Lakers played the Kings in a preseason game.
I might be one of the only Kobe Bryant (who didn't play in the Lakers victory tonight) fans on this board. The Lakers are on FOX here in Las Vegas regularly because they're the closest team and I've become a big Kobe Bryant fan. But there is currently rumors that the Lakers may trade him. Do you think Kobe Bryant will get traded?

ESPN is reporting that there are "daily discussions" between the Lakers and the Bulls about trading Bryant for a package of players including Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, and Joakim Noah. But reported problems with this deal include the Bulls reluctance to include Deng, a faction within the Lakers organization still opposed to trading Bryant, and the possibility that Bryant might use his no trade deal to block a move to Chicago. sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3082513 |

I really can't see Kobe getting traded... who else who take him? |

According to the Chicago Tribune, there is a slight chance of a trade for Kobe Bryant between the Lakers and the Wizards:
Oct 29 - One general manager on the periphery of the Kobe Bryant talks says he believes the "dark horse" to make a deal with the Lakers is the Washington Wizards. The consensus is the Wizards have hit a plateau, but have the star power in Gilbert Arenas to make a deal.
Arenas is talking about opting out of his contract after this season. He's from Los Angeles and has become a star, one of the league's highest-scoring players and an engaging personality who would embrace the Hollywood scene. He would meet the Lakers' demands for an All-Star player if they trade Bryant.
"Watch out for them," the general manager said, meaning the Wizards.
Because the Lakers are my second-favorite NBA team, I hope this trade doesn't happen.
