Minny's starting 5

Foye
Davis
#6
Diogu
Jermaine

This team can rebuild around a shotblocking beast, Diogu and the #6. Jermaine is obviously younger than KG, but not as great. This team should be really good when Diogu,Foye and the 6 reaches their full potential, which shouldn't take long as all 3 will be depended on to play alot during the regular season.

Lakers starting 5

Hudson
Daniels
Odom
KG
Bynum

Ok so the Lakers a re still questionable here. Is this team better than the Lakers team before the trade?

Indy's starting 5

Tinsley
Kobe
Granger
Kwame
Troy Murphy

This team finally gets a proven scorer who can score 25 plus a game. Tinsley's unselfish play should help support Kobe. Granger should be getting open looks for easy points. Maybe this team can be a threat...

I think if Jerm O'Neal gets moved, Troy Murphy and his contract might be going with him.

I like the general idea here, though, but I think Kobe's got to end up somewhere ready-made to win for him to get moved at all.

That's not Indy, IMO.

Does Kobe have a no trade clause?

That's what I've heard, yes. I'm not positive on that but I would say I'm %90 sure.

I know that he does for sure, he might even be the only player in the NBA with one (if I heard a report on the radio the other day, correctly).

Yeah, I hear about them a lot in baseball, a little bit in hockey, but not much at all in any other sports.
