Short but sweet
I keep thinking about it and thinking about it and I really haven't gotten anywhere so I submit my question to the Royalty? Why would the Kings want Ben Gordon? I realize he can, at times, be a phenomenal player but we already have a 2 gaurd. If the three team deal between the Lakers and Bulls was really close to being done, what was GP thinking? It couldn't have been as close to a done deal as the media says, right? If so I am still astounded, even if it is not a reality at this point. GP couldn't have wanted that deal could he?? Could he???

Re: Short but sweet
I wouldn't doubt that his trade is revisited in the next week or so especially when Ron -Ron is off suspension. I hope the Kings are involved but they better get a young power forward in the deal and some cap space. Petrie isn't an idiot so let's see how this all plays out.

Re: Short but sweet
The two problems are Kobe's opt-out and no-trade clause. Teams acquiring Kobe are playing russian roulette on keeping him, and if the Lakers do find decent trade value for Kobe (which includes Deng in the Chicago deal), Kobe's going to probably exercise his no-trade.
Paxson does not want to give up three or four good young players and have Kobe opt out at the end of next season. And Kobe currently will not approve anything with Deng included.
Kobe is a big enough jackass to shut his trap and play with LA until he opts out, and go to Chicago anyways. Thing is, his desire to find the greener pastures will probably override his jackassedness.
My guess is this deal gets resurrected, probably closer to the deadline - Lakers get Artest and two of Chicago's young talent (Thomas and Hinrich?). The Kings get Gordon & PJ Brown. Chicago ends up with Kobe-bean and ends up the favorites in the East. And Bucher gets to run Kobe's errands in a new city! Win-win-win-win!!
