    Hind sight is always 20/20. Kobe demanded a trade because he knew he was the best and he knew that the Laker organization knew he was the best. He had power. It was a business move to force the Lakers to bring in talent which they were void of for 3 years up to that point. The one valid offer to trade him which was with Detroit, he VETOED. He was loyal. Remember too that the Gasol trade didnt happen until the middle of the following season. They got Fisher back and promised Kobe a better team by the trade deadline and the rest was history. Haters will say otherwise.

      LeBron was planning on leaving at the end of that season so that's why Dan was willing to fulfill that trade request by Kyrie. LeBron wanted his cake and eat it too. He wanted the best chance to win a title then leave the Cavs high and dry. Dan and Kyrie wanted no part of being puppets in LeBron's plans so they did the right thing. Kyrie pulled the rug from under LeBron, smart move.

    @hmhm856 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Kobe stopped demanding a trade beginning in the 2007-2008 season, because the Lakers started playing much better, and Andrew Bynum had made such an amazing improvement, that the Lakers around late December looked like the best team in the West. The Lakers had a nice starting team with Fisher, Kobe, Bynum, and Odom, and their bench was looking very strong.
    Lakers now in the 2007-2008 season looked like a team that was competing for one of the top 3 seeds in the West, and not just a team that got in the playoffs with the 7th or 8th seed as they did in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.
    But sadly, later in this new improved Lakers season, Bynum got injured and missed the season on an accidental play where a player that was falling down slammed on his knee (I think it was Kobe who fell on Bynum's knee). Then the Lakers front office, seeing that the Lakers had a chance to at least make the Finals, traded Kwame Brown, Marc Gasol (who was still in Spain but Lakers had his rights), and a draft pick to the Grizzlies for Pau Gasol.
    So everything worked out in the end for Kobe and the Lakers. The Lakers owner was correct in never trading Bynum, since Bynum (even with the injuries) developed very nicely and was a huge key in the Lakers winning titles with Kobe.
    Kobe and the Lakers went on to three NBA Finals, winning two of them.

    i remember this, ray allen just got traded to the celtics, now they have pierce and allen. it was a question if kg was going to la or boston, and also, jermaine O'Neal was a legit option.

    Bynum wasn't really seen as injury prone back at that time. His rookie year he barely played since he wasnt in the rotation, and in 06-07 he played all 82. But that being said, I guess it wasnt too bad an idea back then

    Miller was out of his prime,Ron admitted giving up on the team and was suspended the year they were the favorites to go to the finals after losing the conference finals the previous year and Al Harrington was just a role player.Jackson was all he really had to work with and not to mention the injuries that year the Pacers dealt with that year.

    It really doesn't matter how he got numbers,it's fact that they are there in NBA History.The guy could've made layups or shot from the middle of the floor,his still numbers proved he was the best in the NBA at that time.I never said Shaq was the skilled.He was like Wilt of the 90's/00's,but had far more centers to go against in his era than Wilt had.

  • @mfarooq1990
    @mfarooq1990 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ron Artest, had a good 03 and 04 season. Then got himself suspended and played minimal games until getting traded to the Kings. Reggie miller, retired in 05, gave 2 seasons with 10+ with O'Neal. Jackson, certainly helped more than reggie with 15+ pts from 05-07. I may have exaggerated my comment. But he was clearly the one carrying them and a center of his status needs another player in double figures to have a shot at a championship.

  • @manuginobilisbaldspot424
    @manuginobilisbaldspot424 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Here's the thing a LOT of people...almost everyone, forgets about the Gasol trade: The Lakers were already pretty good before he got there. With Radmonovic, Fisher, and KWAME BROWN...they were I believe 30-16 when they acquired Gasol. That's a 53 win pace. Basically an 11 win improvement over the 2007 team. Considering they won 57 games, clearly, Gasol had a tangible impact...good for about 4 1/2 additional wins over 36 games. But the idea that the Lakers were trash beforehand is always overstated.
