Well, there are rumors.
But I don't think this would happen.
If the lakers really are eyeing for the future and not keen on building a team that would go through the playoffs immediately next season, then they would have Kobe as bait to younger players who would be future cornerstones. Kobe is worth at least 2 great players. and a possible future dynamic duo for the lakers may be the best deal for them should they trade Kobe.
I idolize T-Mac. I dont think the rockets would give him away especially with how he played this season...total performane throughout the year. They just need to beef up their lineup more to help him and Yao.

I don't think so!! I don't think Kobe will excel in Coach Adelman's system....
The way things are looking, the Rockets are going to build around their two Superstars and will definitely give up a few of their guards to get a third options at the PF spot....I'm thinking Artest...

But there're many reports on this subject in the newspapers...Kobe's words suggest that he may leave the Lakers.And there's only TMC who can be exchanged with him...I also have no idea about the truth...They are both great players....

It is possible.. Tmac and Kobe play the same way.. the only difference is Tmac is bigger.. About having only Tmac as the only one who can be traded for kobe, we have Dwyane Wade, King James or even Carmelo Anthony.. However, I personally wouldn't want that trade. I think it would just disrupt the Rockets' team chemistry.

I don't agree with the Rockets trading T-Mac with Kobe because the Lakers love Kobe so much that I think they are willing to trade or even acquire more players in their roster to enhance the team. The Lakers must resort to more trades involving other players instead of losing Kobe to other team. Kobe's marketing value for the Lakers is a big asset to the team. They may acquire T-Mac in exchange for Lamar Odom. That's one hell of a team!
