Trade Rumors

Right now is the time where you'll hear all those wacky rumors about players switchin teams. Well, here are the most recent ones and my comments on them;

Jermaine O'neal

Possible destinations: Lakers and Knicks and Timberwolves.

Comments: Should he go with the Lakers then Kobe would'nt want a trade anymore and all would be well for them, and they'd both have a chance at a ring. As for the Knicks Isiah Thomas has always liked Jermaine and right now the Knicks need a low-post scoring threat,Garnett would be ideal but he's aging, O'neal would be better. As for the Timberwolves, considering that Garnett might get traded then Minnesotta would want to replace him with Jermaine.

Kobe Bryant

Possible destinations: Chicago and Phoenix.

Comments: There are other teams interested in him but Kobe wants to win a championship, Chicago would be great except for the fact concerning what Chi-Town would have to give up;Luol Deng and/or Ben Gordon....two eventual all-stars. And Pheonix would also work great (imagine Nash with Kobe) and they don't mind giving away Marion or Stoudemire,but that would create too much offense and lower their overall defense, so it might be risky.

Vince Carter

Possible destinations:Lakers and Knicks.

Comments: Once again the obvious thing with the lakers is for them to trade Kobe for Vince and someone else, sure that might satisfy Kobe (considering he'll be with Kidd) but I doubt LA would be Vince's ideal team. Now the other team that's dying to get him is New York, because Isaih has always loved Carter and says that if they got him they would be title contenders. And rumors are that Vince would'nt mind, so the most likely place for him to go is there.
