To be completely honest, the whole Kobe dramatics with Dr. Buss, Phil and Kobe is totally up in the air. I really can't see LA trading him, regardless of his apparent, "demands". They would not get fair trade value for him. It would just make the team as bad (or as good, however you wanna look at it) without the marquee franchise star. He's staying. It's up to Mitch Kupchak and Dr. Buss to go out and pursue, Jumo and Ron Artest.
Phoenix will not be able to keep both Marion and Amare. If they were smart, they'd work out a sign-and-trade with Shawn Marion. He's the most-overrated all-star in the league. Ugly shot, bad descisions, monster athleticism, great numbers. He's the biggest mirage of a capable power forward. There's some talk that Grant Hill wants to play in Phoenix, which would really put them over the top for talent and he'd slide right in and make them that much more threatening.
You're right. There are big names on the move: Camby, Luol Deng, Mike Bibby and Ron Artest, Garnett, Rashard Lewis is rumoured to be moving, Zach Randolph has all of a sudden become expendable.
