Is Amir Johnson good? I've never seen the kid play, but I know Joe D thinks real high of him

Kobe's contract allows him to veto any trade that involves him. It's quite a privilege. He's basically his own general manager. He can orchestrate deals using the veto to direct where he goes or if he stays.

I think the Bulls would have to sign and trade to make Gordon part of the deal. Gordon has speculated that he would sign a one year tender offer to play for a team in 08-09 and then become an unrestricted free agent.

Can the Knicks trade Z-Bo? Bynum, Z-Bo, Odom would be a nice frontcourt I think the Lakers front office could deal with.

yeah, realgm is usually okay for the most part with their info.

now that I think about it, I'm glad they didn't do it. we would be slightly better then we are now but not set for the long run. plus, I don'tthink I like Odom and Prince on the floor at the same time. they might as well move Odom then too.

One thing we know for sure.....the Lakers want to get rid of him, he wants to leave, and the Bulls want Kobe Bryant.

He turned it down in fear of it being used to help trade him to LA. Player's contracts have to have equal value and since Kobe is making a lot of money, in order to make things easier for a trade and for the NBA and the commissoner's office to approve it the Bulls would need to make it an equal trade

---

wrong, if he signed it, he'd be a BYC player, thus making it harder for him to be traded.

Quote:

Base year compensation (BYC) prevents another salary cap loophole. Without BYC, a team over the salary cap that wants to trade a player, but can't because of the Traded Player exception (which says teams can't take back more than 125% of the salary they trade away), could just sign the player to a new contract that fits within the desired range, then do the trade. BYC says "if you re-sign a player and give him a big raise, then for a period of time his trade value will be lower than his actual salary."

BYC defines the salary that's used to compare players for compliance under the Traded Player exception (see question number 68 for more information about the Traded Player exception). Usually the salary used for comparison is the player's actual salary. But under either of the following circumstances, a different salary is used when comparing salaries for trading purposes:

* The team is over the salary cap, used the Larry Bird or Early Bird exception to re-sign the player, and the player received a raise greater than 20% (unless it's the minimum salary).
* The team is over the salary cap, it extended the player's rookie scale contract, and the player received a raise greater than 20%.

If either of the above apply, then the player is considered a base year player. A player remains a base year player for six months, or until June 30, whichever comes later. When trading a base year player, the salary used for comparison is the player's previous salary, or 50% of the first-year salary in his new contract, whichever is greater.

After tonights win, I doubt he thinking about it. This team performs till at least to All-Star break he may reconsider.

Every single day until the trade deadline, the Lakers front office needs to be clocking in to work, and picking up where they left off yesterday with trades.

And they need to work on that for the entire day. Nothing else is more important right now. Let someone else handle the bills and what not.

Talent; get some more. YESTERDAY.
