Iverson for Kobe might make some sense as both teams get some value. Iverson gets to play with a quality big man in Shaq and Kobe gets to try to win a championship on his own. Only problem is Kobe's problems in Denver otherwise would make some sense with salary structures and Kobe being from PHilly.

scorpion my friend, Im not sure I would trade Iverson straight up for Kobe, much less give any extra picks for him. Ive said it many times and I stand by it.......Although Kobe is a great player, he will be exposed a bit without Shaq to bail him out.....What other star guards have the luxury of having the most dominant center in NBA history drawing double and triple teams night after night, opening up the floor for his teammates.....

Hache, I am a Spurs fan and would like to agree with you but you are dead wrong - when Shaq was out last year Kobe was putting up 40 like every night - he single handidly beat the Spurs for their 3 rings (as Shaq averages 19 points in the playoffs versus SA) - and he is the only player in the league that Bowen cannot shut down.
Seymour, believe it or not, when I was typing that I knew that someone would bring up those Big games that Kobe had when Shaq was out. No offense, but this is always Kobe~lovers' defense.(which I know your not) I already admitted that Kobe is a great player, but he cant have big games like the ones you just mentioned all of the time, especially without Shaq. Shaq draws double and triple teams EVERY SINGLE GAME, and that easily opens the floor for Kobe. Can you imagine If Iverson or Mcgrady had that luxury?
Years ago Penny Hardaway had 3 straight 40 point games in the playoffs If I remember right.......see where Im going with this?
Kobe would be welcomed here with open arms. he did lead a team comprised of himself and four little jewish HS kids to two state championships.
Iverson is the best blood and guts player in the NBA in maybe a generation. Plus, he is the best little man probably since Tiny. He and 4 NAIA players made it to the finals three yrs ago, it is ridiculous to think that if he didn't have real talent around him they couldn't win a title.

If you ask me the league has alot of really great players right now but if you don't have Shaq, Duncan or Kobe you ain't winning a trophy.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I take Duncan over Shaq any day. Shaq is nothing if he doesnt have a great player taking all the big shots when the game is on the line. When was the last time this dumbass made a game winning basket? This guy is an empty uniform in close games late in the game. WORTHLESS!
Every time the game is on the line that rapist has to take the last shot.
If the lakers want to save their organization they have to fire the most overrated coach in the history of the professional history and trade shaq!
