Ok me and some of my friends was talkin bout this. what ya'll think?

[Fatal is back]

If the lakers called the cavs and said we'll give you kobe for lebron str8 up. what do you think the cavs would say?

i said the cavs would say fuck no and my friends(lakers fans) said the cavs would say hell yea.

Then i said if the cavs called the lakers and said same trade the lakers would say fuck yea in a heartbeat.

what ya'll think?

[chickenwang]

i think you and your friends would have had a better time shooting heroin

[Biggedawgg]

Don't matter Kobe has the NTC so he'd veto it in a heartbeat

[.KeyNote.]

this woulda been a question to ask beginning of the season or end of last year

[McCizoy]

The Lakers wouldn't trade Kobe for Lebron
The Cavs wouldn't trade LeBron for Kobe

simple answer

[Hardkore the MC]

lebron is 30/7/7 and pretty much lacks the defense and shooting ability kobe possesses. i would think the cavs would be more willing to give up lebron than vice versa.

[Biggedawgg]

agreed @ McClozy

Their is your answer

[Common_Sense79]

Lebron: Unpolished freak of nature, who was born more gifted than anyone currently playing in the nba (even dwight howard) and shit just comes easy.

Kobe: Most polished professional in any sport, has worked hard to get to where he is.

I would still pick Lebron to start any team with, Kobe being 1a.

[Rippy McSwine]

I hate lebron, and love kobe.

but i think the lakers would do it, due to age alone.

Lebron's no kobe yet. He may never be, but he's got tons of time left and is already great.

[As Seen On Tv]

lebrons a beast and kobe is injury prone so if i was the lakers id take lebron but if i was the cavs i wouldnt take kobe

although i do feel kobe is the better player easily

[Purple Haze]

Lets drop the who is better banter for a second for thats a whole different arguement by itself.

and I love Kobe, but fuck no. Theres no way in hell this shit would go down.


Lebron is the fucking future.

23 years fresh ... and about 5 games from hitting the 10k mark in total points while averaging 30, 7 and 7.

Kobe is 29 years old going on 30, coming off notorious knee surgery with legs underneath him that have already logged 30k minutes of playing time, not including playoffs and USA team basketball.

Thats the same reason why Mitch Cupcake was able to get rid of Shaq, the most dominating center of his era, away. Kobe was still a breathe of fresh air and Shaq was going to shit by the second.

I never thought I'd Shaq as he is right now.

And as great as Kobe may be, his days are numbered. We have seen the best of Kobe. LeBrons potential is unrivaled.

But thats not the only reason, two words...


Salary Cap.

Kobe makes 19.4 Million this year, LeBron makes 13 million.

Lets be serious here.. Cleveland market isn't as huge as the Lakers market, even with the clippers in town. You're asking Kobe to take a salary cut?

Kobe just got Gasol. Kobe has seen the emancipation of Andrew Bynum. Kobe has seen the exile of Kwame Brown wack ass. In essense, Kobe's quite fucking happy right now.


And if Cavs somehow manage to squander up enough money for Kobe... surprise bitch...


Kobes trade clause.


Sorry, but Boobie Gibson, The Big Zloth, and Sideshow Bob don't cut it for teammates. Kobe wants a ring, not another 4 years of disheartening loses.


But Still, for arguementative reasons.. lets say Kobe wants to go the cavs some imbecilic reason.


Look at it from a GM perspective, what is it to gain by swapping players?


A player who has the all-around offensive talent.

One, a proficient scorer, who has ice water flowing his viens that chucks up long range shots with extreme accurracy during crunch time whose defensive lockdown tendacies are unrivaled when righteously motivated.

Another, a triple double monster with muscle from head to toe who has the rare ability to see the floor at 6'8 250 and can play just about any position with proficiency. Strong, but quick, his ability to get to the rack with ease and draw fouls is probably the the best anyone has ever seen.

You're basically, trading water for ice.

A stalemate. When accounting each ones strengths and weaknesses It wouldn't improve or hurt either team much.

Th trade wouldn't make much sense, but it would go down the Laker would get the better deal of the two citing longevity as the reason.

Kobe, injury prone? yeah right. This dude is in the lineup, day-in day-out. Didn't Lebron miss a couple games cus of his thumb or some other finger?

just because hes in the line up doesnt mean hes not injury prone.

hes a good player, but he plays HARD, and that takes a definite toll

suck me off...kobe is one hard pass away from ballin with 4 fingers..sit down

[Fatal is back]

it was a simple question. fuck the no trade clause talk cuz i know kobe would veto that shit but it was a simple question. Lebron is the face of the nba and will be when kobe retires in a few years
