Since Glenn wanted KG to LA, Kobe to a contender and Minny to get some young players/picks...here goes:
LA sends Kobe to Detroit
LA sends Walton to Minnesota
Detroit sends RIP to Minnesota
Detroit sends #15 to Minnesota
Minnesota sends KG to LA
Minnesota sends Davis to LA
Breakdown:
Minny moves KG and Davis for RIP, Walton and #15 pick.
LA moves Kobe and Walton for KG and Davis.
Detroit moves RIP and #15 for Kobe.
Minny logic: KG isn't happy, eventually he'll demand out. Howard will not help him win a title. Better to be proactive. They get a great scorer in RIP, a solid role player in Walton, and the #15 pick in a very deep draft.
LA logic: Kobe wants out, who better to replace him with than another MVP type player? Bynum/KG/Odom makes a pretty solid front court and they can draft a new SG at #19 like Rush or Cook.
Detroit logic: RIP is great, but Kobe is better. Detroit needs someone to create their own shot and Kobe certainly can do that.
