Per AM 570 in Los Angeles: Kobe to Dallas

[The30YardSlant]

For Terry, Howard, and 2 first rounders. A "highly credible" source says Kobe has cleaned out his locker and the deal will be announced sometime this week. They discussed the rumor on the ticket in Dallas as well, apparently it has legs.

Wow... lock up your daughters!

Do you guys have anything left now outside of Hasslehoff?

Looks like Kobe's on his way out... heard the Bulls might be in on it as well, though.

So HH31, you're the Mavs' GM, do you make the deal? I assume the answer's yes.

You have to. Kobe + Dirk + Stack = Unguardable

This was on TrueHoop today... nothing about Dallas, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

My hunch is that Kobe's cleaned out his locker because he wants to try to force Buss' hand.

I think the Dallas part of the speculation comes from the Dallas media.

 

[MC KAos]

god i hope the mavs get kobe, it would be so amazing to make kobe cry in the playoffs again!

 

[Mavs Man]

If this is true - crap.

But I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Mavs Man]

Someone on the DMN blog suggested if GM they would trade Terry, Howard and Devin Harris for Kobe and have Avery man the starting PG spot.

:laugh2:

Of course, he was joking.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

This would be most interesting if it turns out to be true. Kobe and Dirk on the court at the same time? Um...I don't care what team you are, that's a tough tough matchup.

ESPN reported this morning that Kobe did not clean out his locker. He just cleaned his locker. According to ESPN, the locker thing was never true. Just the press running wild with unconfirmed rumor. I guess we'll see who's telling the truth.

Too bad Dirk and Stack will never get the ball once Kobe has it. :laugh2:

Reminds me of that NFL Talking Follies video:

"You can only have ONE BALL!!"

I'm a huge Lakers fan and I have to say, this is a friggin mess. Jerry Buss and Kobe need to sit down for one last time and decide what they hell they are doing instead of going back and forth through the media.

Personally, I don't care if Kobe leaves as long as the team gets equitable trade because Kobe's salary is choking the Lakers ability to get other FAs. Just sick of the drama these two are creating.

I mean, after last year, you're really going to say "unstoppable"?

Well actually i thought that our team was very beatable last season.....i bet my friend 200.00 that the spurs would beat us in the western conference finals if we got that far......reason being, i have always been a firm believer that we will never win the championship with dirk as our "go to guy/leader" Last years team proved that.

I think that this roster (if this turns out to be true) is far better than last years roster.....and i think you would have to be a fool to argue otherwise.


Maybe not unstoppable, but this would be as good if not better than all of the teams in the NBA.....including your Spurs. and I have never said that in the past.

You may have more talent... not sure about being a better "team" though.

I'm just hoping one morning I wake up and all over ESPN is the "BREAKING NEWS" alert telling us that Kobe was traded to Dallas for Jet Terry, Josh Howard, Keith Van Horn's expiring contract, and a First Rounder. I love Josh Howard, but man, Kobe is.....Kobe.

There's no way I get rid of both Howard and Harris. It has to be either one. And personally, I love Harris' game. So I'd rather keep him.

What hurts more than anything as a Mavs fan is that they had a championship-caliber if not unstoppable team going into the 2006 Finals along with a franchise player who had made The Leap in Dirk. And then they came a handful of minutes away from being 3-0 in the Finals and then CRASH. It was like watching a movie where the main character you've been rooting for the whole time gets to the climax of the movie where as you've seen time and again he's supposed to stand up for the cause and get the girl and save the world and all that, but instead he chickens out and gets run out of town and the bad guy gets the girl and then BAM the credits roll. What the crap!!
