Found June 16, 2007 on Sports In Boston:
Kobe Bryant recently reiterated his desire to be traded from the Lakers. If this actually happens, the Lakers would want to move him to an Eastern Conference teams. The Boston Celtics are one of the few teams with the right pieces to get a deal done. It could happen, but it might take a lot: For Kobe Bryant to come to Boston, it most certainly would require giving up the #5 pick. The second ...

  • What would Boston fans think about a Ratliff+Scalabrine+Gerald Green+Al Jefferson swap for Kobe?

    Al Jefferson and Andrew Bynum matching up against Greg Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge in a couple of years would be an awesome sight.
  • If boston's smart,which i question, i would trade something right now. Give up that #5 pick(There's no talent left after Oden,Durant,Conley,Cook) and 3 or 4 players!
  • The Lakers are not about to hand (give) Kobe to anyone. If you think the Lakers are dumb enough (maybe with Kupchek as your gm) for a #5 pick and any four or five Celtics, you're dreaming.
  • That is the only chance for the Celtics to rebuild. They have been out of the picture for so long that this would actually be a good move for them.
  • Fuck tht, kobe would hog the ball from pierce who is alot better when the games on the line and kobe is not. celtics don't need his bitching and moaning when the celtics lose, which the will alot! Celtics should get Al Thorten.
  • If the celtics ever got Kobe they would win the East hands down. You have the best player in the game and Paul Peirce to lead you there. Any one on this blog who doesn't agree has never played basketball. What it would do is free up one of the superstars to get their shot every night and Kobe can get it double covered imagine single coverage-the dunks and spectacular plays would be endless. Yes do it, even give up Big Al for him-we want to win now not in the next decade and he gives us the best chance to win right now at his moment.
  • I know the game a little so I won't go into my credentials. No need to!

    I tell you what you would have to put Kobe on a team like Chicago, S.A, or a team where Kobe would realize that he's not the only player who wants to contribute. Kobe will someday have to realize that he's not Jordan and if he went to Boston, Pierce is not Pippen. Boston needs a lot more help than a Kobe Bryant to win a championship.

    I totally agree with dacelts34. I'll be honest, I have never been much of a Celtics fan, but I have grown to admire and respect the hell out of that franchise. To bring a 'DONK' like Kobe into the mix would make me sick.

Patience is a Virtue

In this era of 10 minute oil changes, 1 hour photo developing, and instant everything, we tend to get impatient with anything that takes awhile. This includes basketball. Where in most cases a little impatience won't change much, in basketball impatience can be the difference between continual mediocrity and building a contender.

Youth versus Inexperience
