naw, Kobe would be in a similar position. you suggesting a trade that wipes out the bulls starting frontcourt in its entirety for a sg on the decline.
watson
bean
korver/butler
taj
asik
dawg,...boozer and noah are liabilities to kobe cause he will break their spirit like gasol & bynum.
might as well let him operate with a low resigned asik and taj.
kobe is a mercenary to patch it up and await a returning rose after that season.
so it becomes :
rose
bean
butler
taj
asik
taj and asik can do exactly what noah and boozer do to some extent every night than noah and boozer.
boozer is an off defensive liability,...plus noah, is great trade bait for the lakers. so they can figure out what to do with pau and bynum.
as the lakers move to a high bball iq built frontcourt team, regardless after the trade.
if the lakers trade away pau amd bynum to appease kobe. the lakers will be rebuilding anyway.
might as well rebuild,...with real smart bball iq frontcourt pieces.
as opposed to blowing the lakers up, and shipping out gasol and bynum.
