Report: Lakers Had Agreed To Kobe Bryant Trade

Deal With Pistons Would Have Sent 3 Players Plus First-Round Pick To L.A.

(CBS) LOS ANGELES Radio station 1270 AM in Detroit is reporting that earlier this week the Lakers and Pistons came to an agreement to trade Bryant to the Pistons.

However, Bryant used his no-trade clause to veto the trade.

Detroit would have sent Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton, Amir Johnson and a first-round pick to the Lakers.

The report claims the deal was completed late Tuesday night.

More details will be reported as they become available.

Not surprising by Kobe, he doesn't really want to leave. Yes the team sucks but he's settled there and all the trade demands were just to get some headlines.

Kobe is a drama queen.

Kobe is not going anywhere. He will veto any trade b/c any team that takes him will have been gutted...

That's way to much for the Pistons to be giving up. Laker's would have an early Christmas present had that deal gone through.

I don't necessarily agree with that. I think he's so fed up with Laker management and those in charge of personnel decisions that he'd accept a trade to a similar situation with the understanding that the GM of his new team can't possibly be as incompetent as Mitch Kupchack and Jim Buss and that the new GM would know how to get the team back to the top.
