This whole Kobe thing is going to be complicated. The Bulls aren't going to trade away their whole team for Kobe Bryant. They aren't allowed to trade Noc until December, and I'm sure he would be part of any trade package that they would be comfortable with. I don't think they want to risk giving...
I read the same article this morning. This trade possibility rides on how this season goes for the Bulls. If they make it to the Finals, I think Paxson might be skeptical to trade away his young energetic core. Yeah, it's Kobe....he' the best player in the NBA but, how many "good" years does he...
I personally hope the Bulls don't trade for Kobe. Trust me, I love the guy and I think he's hands down the best player in the NBA but the Bulls have such a good future ahead of them if they can keep their team intact. However, John Paxson will definitely have to take a look at the possiblities...
I think this is going to be a common story throughout the whole season for the Miami Heat. Shaq really does want to play this season though. You could tell he was really upset with this. It's probably discouraging to go from the most dominating center in NBA history to someone who gets injured...
I kind of agree with the "he's taking up money and roster space" comment but he should be given a chance though. No one knows how any of these comeback stories are going to unravel this season until we actually get to see these guys out there. Anfernee Hardaway.... Allen Houston....who knows...
I don't see anything wrong with Houston coming back. I think the guy is like forth in Knicks all-time scoring and was a big part of their success in the 90's. It's not like he's coming back to play for a big contender just to win a ring or anything. The guy likes New York and it's the only team...

This angers me. Ben Gordon is not a $70 Million player. Like someone said above, he's undersized and well....he's not AI....so yeah, that's ridiculous. I think he has an ego now too....I mean why would you ask for that much....no one else is going to pay it either....NO ONE with any sense...
I own a Celtics t-shirt....because it's a cool shirt. I have not jumped on the band wagon though. As far as I'm concerned the Bulls and Pistons are the best two teams in the east and the most exciting matchup.
I can't wait until KG breaks something and is out for the season.
