Kobe Bryant, keep him or trade him?

I'm watching NBA Coast to Coast and Bucher just did his spiel on the Kobe trade talk. So if you're the Lakers do you try to get rid of him for market value of _______ or do you keep him and try to appease by bringing in more talent?

Get rid of him. He is a cancer just like A-Rod. They will never win another championship if they keep him.

Keep him..

No way you can get equal value in both talent and drawing power.

Since the bulls deal isnt going to happen they shouldnt trade him to anyone else

Keep him. He is the best player in basketball, and they will never get good enough players in return.

Lakers are teh losers so just leave him there. Who cares about Kobe anyway. its all about Boston these days.

They should definitely keep him and make some moves to bring in new talent. But seeing that Mitch Kupcheck is an idiot, I don't see any major moves soon.

Shoot him, preferably.

keep him

rule #1 of sports, you dont trade the best player in the league.

rule #2 of sports, you dont trade allstars.

I apologize for my post earlier. It was based on a bias against Kobe Bryant. It would be pretty stupid to get rid of him, but I honestly believe that the lakers will never win as long as he is on the team.

At least Kobe brings in the ticket buyers and creates excitement.

If I were GM, I would get what I can for him and start rebuiding the entire team. I guess that is why I am not a GM

Kobe needs to learn from Kevin Garnett and take a pay cut so the Lakers can afford some better talent to help the team out if he truly wants to win a title, imo.
