Is KG even going to have a twilight?

The trade would keep both teams about where they are right now. Houston would probably make a little more noise though. End of the day I see the only benefit bein Kobe gettin out of LA. Unless someone can point somethin out I’m not seein.

I like the fact that the Lakers would be getting a superstar back in T-Mac, plus an ok PG and a wonderful addition in Shane Battier. I would much rather have T-Mac and Battier and James than Gordon, Thomas and some throw in’s. Wouldn’t you?

Amanalone, interesting but it basically boils down to Kobe for T-Mac. I wouldn’t do that if I’m the Lakers. Kobe has a lot more left in the tank than T-Mac. What about Kobe to the Bulls for Gordon, Thomas, and more players/salaries?

On a seperate note, this seems like a good trade for both teams, right?

Kobe and Kwame for McGrady, M. James and Shane Battier

The saleries work . . .

Giacomo,

Yes KG is the man in the East now, but let’s think about something that Bill Simmons said in his recent ESPN column: The best thing about sports is not the actual game, not the highlights or the “oh shit did you see that” with friends after. Instead, the best thing about sports is the anticipation – waking up the morning of your team’s game and thinking “game day,” or watching one of your favorite players blossom into something better than they have previously been. I would argue that is the reason that Jordan is such a compelling figure. He continued to improve, to exceed the expectations that he once set for himself.

With all that said, I think that is the reason that DWIGHT is a more interesting story than KG. Dwight might not stack up with KG today, but he is evolving to be possibly better than KG. I’d rather hear about what will make Dwight greater than what makes KG who he is.

Dwight Howard aka Optimus Prime!! Dude is jacked!

Both covers are crack. Melo’ should have a big year and D. Howard and the Magic could make a playoff run.

Good choices fellas!

Al Jefferson = 22 (very good present, great future)
KG = 31 (great present)

Dwight’s story is more compelling because it’s still new, he’s a new-blood superstar, and there’s no doubt he will be malicious this year. Everybody already knows KG is sick, he’s BEEN sick for a long, long time. Saying KG is going to be big in the East is like saying cereal is dry without milk, everybody already knows!

I can hardly wait to get this in my mailbox, keep doing your thing DIME Crew.
