Hmmm... Lebron for Kobe... sugot kaha Cleveland ana...? Or perhaps Dirt, er, Dirk for Kobe?

Anyways, here's an update:
When Bryant signed his free-agent contract on July 15, 2004, a seven-year deal worth $136.4 million, a no-trade clause was built into his contract. He is the only player in the NBA that has a no-trade clause in his contract. He has a no-trade clause for at least two more seasons, at which time he can opt out of his current contract (after the 2008-09 season). If he exercises his option to become a free agent, he would walk away from a combined $47.8 million for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons. The only way the Lakers could trade Bryant is if he waived his no-trade clause, which means the team would need Bryant's approval to trade him.

There was an article somewhere suggesting Kobe for Luol Deng and Tyrus Thomas plus-plus. It's not bad actually. :mrgreen:

i don't think that would sit well with Mr. Bryant coz the reason he's leaving the Lakers is that he wants to win now...

Anyways, update is that Kobe recanted his previous message, saying the Lakers are his team and he wants to stay a Laker for life. I'm like, naunsa naman ning tawhana!
