    Default The Lakers should trade Kobe now

    Really, at this point of time, the Lakers should really considring trading Kobe.
    Kobe is clearly on the decline and nobody knows for sure how long he can keep playing on a very high level. It wouldn't come as a suprise if Kobe is more or less done in one or two years. That's not hating, it happens to every player and considering the minutes Kobe has already played, it will happen to Kobe sooner or later too.
    So if things are going bad for the Lakers they will have to pay a max contract for the next 6 years without really benifiting of him on the court.
    So why not use the Kobe hype as long as it exists and trade him now. They certainly could get some very decent players and draftpicks in return.
    You know, it's just like on Wall Street. You have to sell your shares when they are worth the most. Not when they are going down.
    Over the course of the next 7 years the Lakers will be better off if they trade Kobe now. At least there is a very high change for this.

    The differnce is that Jordan was only signing one year contracts from 95-98. So there was no risk for the Bulls. The lakers are commited to pay Kobe like 120 Dollars for the next 6 seasons. That's a finacial risk, as well as it limits their chances to sign other top players. Kobe has a lot more minutes in his legs then Jordan had at age 31. Plus Jordan was an world wide icon which Kobe isn't.

    Why not trading Kobe and targeting a top level free agent. Plus getting some decent players or draft picks for Kobe. In the long term this would make much more sense then keeping Kobe.

    ...maybe because he has a no trade clause in his contract?

    I didn't say he is done at this point. That's why you have to trade him now. He is worth a lot now, but who knows what the situation will be in one or two years. Kobe is obviously decling already and nobody knows how long he can stay at a top level. How many guards have been at Top Level over the age of 32 apart of Jordan? Therfore i hardly doubt Kobe will be worth 120 million dollars for the next 6 seasons. No way he'll be able to lead teams to championchips over the next 6 years. If the Lakers would trade him now, they could make the franchise an almost certain title contender for the next 6 years.

    Kobe has too much off the court value for LA to even think about trading him. Plus, he can still bring it on the court too.

    That is plain dumb. Im glad you have no control over a bball team lol..

    You're worried about 1 to 2 years away? Imagine trading him for say.. Lebron. You fail to make the finals again, or he gets injured etc, same what ifs. Except you have a winning team right now, WHY THE FU#K WOULD YOU CHANGE THAT????

    Kobe is far from done, as for the decline that is a waayy overused ISH moron term. Did you watch the playoffs at all this season? Or did you read about his game 7 poor shooting on here only and decide he must be finished????
