Trade idea: Kobe, KG, Chicago 3-way deal

[Glenn]

I'm trying to come up with a three way deal that gets KG to LA, Kobe to a contender (in this scenario, Chicago) and young players and picks to Minnesota.

This is the best that I have been able to come up with so far:

OUTGOING

Minnesota
Kevin Garnett

Lakers
Kobe Bryant
Andrew Bynum
Future 1st rd pick

Bulls
Ben Wallace
Thabo Sefolosha
#9 pick
Future 1st rd pick


INCOMING

Minnesota
Andrew Bynum
Ben Wallace
Thabo Sefolosha
2 future 1sts (one from LAL and one from Chi)

Lakers
Kevin Garnett
#9 pick

Bulls
Kobe Bryant

Probably needs some tweaking, but I think these three teams could get something done.

What about this one:

KG and Davis from Minny to LA

Kobe to Chicago, Odom to Minny

Deng, Sweetney and #9 to Minny, Duhon to LA


Minny:

Foye/Hudson
McCants/Hassel
Deng/Jaric
Odom/Howard/Sweetney
Noah or Hawes/Madsen/Blount

*use #9 on big man (Noah or Hawes)

LA:

Duhon/Farmar/Vujacic
Davis/Cook or Rush/Evans
Walton/Radmon/Evans
KG/Radmon/Cook
Bynum/Brown/Cook

*use first rounder on Cook or Rush

Chicago:

Hinrich/Gordon
Kobe/Gordon
Nocioni/Sefolosha
Thomas/PJ
Wallace/PJ

*have to resign PJ or bring in a vet like DD

Chris,

If those salaries work, I like this one.

Maybe a bit rich for the Bulls (Deng, 9 and Duhon, specifically). Sweetney is just filler.

No comments on my deal?

[Cross]

Chicago is giving up too little imo. Thabo and a future is nothing proven. Insert deng or gordon and duhon, then I think its fair but if that deal goes down, Paxson is god

[Glenn]

Cross, just to be clear, you are saying that this is not enough to give up for Kobe?

Bulls
Ben Wallace
Thabo Sefolosha
#9 pick
Future 1st rd pick

You might be right, but I just want to make sure I'm understanding what you are saying.

[Cross]

Yeah that is not enough imo. Other teams could offer a much more better package. For example, Marion, Diaw, Barbosa for Kobe. Rip+Sheed.

[Glenn]

I agree that those are better players, but acquiring Marion and/or Diaw and their BIG contracts leaves you with a lot less flexibility than younger players with small contracts.

I see your point, however.

[WTFchris]

Ben is a waste for LA if you are trading Kobe. They wouldn't want Ben's contract if they move Kobe because they won't win right away anyhow.

[Glenn]

What keeps the season ticket holders happy?

Ben is going to Minny in my deal, btw, not LA.

He'd sell some tickets, some jerseys/other merchandise and more importantly, tutor Bynum.

[Cross]

There is no way to really trade for Kobe without doing a sign and trade, and that again will take some time. Ben would be the only way for a trade before the season begins.
