2007 NBA Draft - Kobe Trade

[Yihan1234]

wtf...MAJOR MAJOR!!! just like the MissPhilippines=VENUS RAJ!!!

[TRIBALRAGE2010]

stephen a. smith totally won the bet with dicky v.....2003 draft better than 2007 draft

[markymarkbb]

Jim Gray's head is so fucking big.

[TSpence026]

Bynum and Odom for Jermaine O Neal would of looked so bad lmao

[MutantHaydon]

@TSpence026 At the time, it would have been reasonable. These days, icky.

[MrChelove]

Kobe wants to play for the Heat.

[auttomatic]

lakers shoulda pick rudy fernadez here, we woulda been much better

[blaster6100]

@auttomatic he ant in dis draft

[auttomatic]

@blaster6100 he is 6th best available on jay bilas best available

[dodgerguy1981]

Mark Jackson was spot on this issue. And I do remember a lot of Laker fans that wanted to do the deal for Jermaine, which I thought was ridiculous. Oh, and shut the f*uck up Stephen A.

[SuperSkinsman]

Where Gasol at?

[rorywashere2]

lamar odom and bynum for jermaine oneal ahahahahahaahahahahahaa

[JlcK24]

Haha The Guy Is Crazy Lamar and Bynum For Jermaine O'neil hahaha!!! CRAZY!!!

[IceyInfernoman]

Did Stephen A. Smith ever get that dinner? Lol

[1riflemanray]

Dwight Howard for the LAKERS!!!

[hothotheat3000]

LOL at the crowd clapping for Stephen A.

[KanameKashita]

If he left and got traded lets say charlotte, his name would not be as big as today because of the champs he would not have won with gasol after the trade

[DaLiFeOfDaPaRtY00]

then kobe got pau bynum became a beast and he won an mvp pretty good year huh

[PNobleDaTruth]

welp, dick vitale lost dat bet

[don222able]

This year is the five year mark on that bet, and I think that Vitale is looking a pretty big fool right now.

[zaistrumentals]

major! major!

[rajondurant]

Lol at 3:52 sure best available

[ab0ut99gaming]

the decision making never came for crittenon cuz now hes in jail

[illerWill]

LMFAO at Stephen A's Rant. Dude's hilarious and keeps it 100

[thejohhny69]

draftees of 2003 are lebron james, dwayne wade, carmelo anthony and chris bosh

[360boii]

looks like javaris's mugshot at 4:48

[fromdowntown1991]

Boy,i'll tell you boy,if they would have traded LO and Bynum.

[ljiokljjp]

Javaris "The Murderer" Crittenton

[ljiokljjp]

Javaris "The Murderer" Crittenton

[SrM90]

If that Jermaine O'neal trade had been accepted, it would've obliterated the Lakers franchise. Probably wouldn't have even sniffed another championship for a couple decades.

[mcgowan311]

@SrM90 for 30 plus years? are you fucking nuts?

[XxAdelaide1994xX]

@SrM90 I mean just think about it. Boston would have won 2 championships and We would still have Kwame Brown playing center and Smush Parker playing PG *shudders*.

[Thejgt2]

Bones87ish is a handicap. Shaq played for the cavs

[mrtamnus1]

Damn, here we go again!!!!!!!!!

[jaredleiferman]

@mrtamnus1 what?

[razkable]

another example the lakers suck at drafting by the way they never drafted wilt shaq kobe kareem

[lakerfan2390]

@razkable no but they drafted magic johnson, elgin baylor, james worthy, jerry west and gail goodrich(all hall of famers)

[BREQvids]

@razkable yea its hard to draft good when your always drafting in the high 20s.. The Lakers just win...

[willieg54]

@BREQvids thats wierd....the spurs been doing that for the last decade.........Manu was the last pick of an draft..............

[BREQvids]

@willieg54 yea the spurs have a great scouting department but they have to there a small market.. The Lakers can just go sign great players but even then the Lakers drafting hasn't been that bad..

[Brad1112223]

@BREQvids Indeed. They, as a franchise, are just out and out durable and were at least competitive for a championship decade after decade from the inception of the league until now. Well said.

[thecooolkid19]

@razkable dumbass

[Laidx]

holy shit...imagine the lakers trading bynum and odom away for a piece of shit (jermaine o'neal) oh my goodness..

[wilsonsmanz]

Imagine that RETARDED trade. Bynum & Odom for Jermaine Oneal? 

[razkable]

@wilsonsmanz at the time and now that makes sense

[backyardbaseball2006]

Its Funny how You Look at this Years later and like the top ten best available is filled with scrubs and a bunch of PPL not in the league as of now i mean serioulsy rudy fernandez ended up being the best out of those top10by far.......and thts saying something......You just wanna yell at the computer screen "PICK ARON BROOKS OR WILSON CHANDLER THYE DOESN'T AMOUNT2SHIT!!! LMAO"

[LifeFirst]

First time an NBA panel would have so many quotables

Mark Jackson "You got some 'splaining to do" ROFL!!

[Bones87ish]

Ppl hate on LBJ's for going to South beach but they don't say shit about Kobe when he bitches n complains about getting better players or else he's going to leave LA.

[kali4nialorboy]

@Bones87ish because they know kb can get rings by himself unlike james.

[Bones87ish]

@kali4nialorboy Is that y Shaq was the finals mvp for Kobe's 1st three when he carried him to the finals? Then he gets help from 3 7 footers to win another 2. Til this day LBJ's has never had a good center on his team n til this day Kobe has never won a championship without a center. LJB's carried the sorry ass Cavs to the finals for the 1st time in franchise history when he was just 22 yrs old.

[MrSuperhollowvegeta]

@Bones87ish shaq was on the cavs

[Bones87ish]

@MrSuperhollowvegeta Yeah when he was just a shell of his former self not to mention he was out for more than half the season

[addictingSwag]

L.A. is kobes bitch

[690169]

Dickie V has always been a overrated moron

[zadeecool]

why do lakers suck at NBA Draft.

[JsTheEmcee]

@zadeecool outta the past 10 championships the Lakers have 5...i don't think they are too worried about drafting lol

[shawnvillain]

ironic in the footage was against Paul gasol and the grizz at the time

[baby66boy1]

when he did this rape is when they should of traded him bottom line because not to many teams will want him and that my friend is the bottom line..........

[baby66boy1]

when he did this rape is when they should of traded him bottom line

[baby66boy1]

kobe is a rapist once a rapist always a rapist bottom line

[ParampamIm]

@baby66boy1 stfu faggot, talking all tough and all

get your fact straight, u 12 year old bum

most ridicilous thing i've ever heard, when a bitch opens her leg then all who dont know nothing act all rapist bs

get help lol, u sound ridicilous

[KobeIs9047]

"sit on kobe bryant and force him to continue to wear a laker's jersey. YOU DO NOT TRADE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD"

chills down my spine when marc jackson said that.

[smlshin]

Ha ha ha, almost as dumb as Tony Parker saying he went to sleep with his trophy from the MVP rather than Eva Longoria.

[Ironmanize]

kinda ironic that the highlight reel of kobe showed pau gasol in a grizzlies uniform and the guy was also talking about adding another superstar to help kobe

[brownmika]

dallas mavericks: 67-15

[babykevinxoxo]

Jermaine Oneil what a joke! David Stern needs to get this damn season started.

[babykevinxoxo]

Dr BusS would have been ripped by Press If they trade Kobe!

[shmohammad23]

imagine lebron and d wade? oh wait

[dawkinfreak20]

hhha lakers made finals next year wow crazy shit

[martyxcallsiefer]

rudy fernandez, arron afflalo and ramon sessions were all available...smh

[8hanky8]

And the Lakers selected a SHOOTING guard...

[jpizzle61]

They drafted a murderer lol.

[ChickenConPolloHD]

@jpizzle61 Yea because you can pull out a gun and you become a murderer right away without killing anyone.

[jpizzle61]

@ChickenConPolloHD he's wanted for murder dumbass.

[ChickenConPolloHD]

@jpizzle61 Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?

[jpizzle61]

@ChickenConPolloHD duh

[jpizzle61]

@ChickenConPolloHD duh

[MH0284]

Imagine Rose and Bryant. Just think about it.

[YungCrow1]

@MH0284 Think about something that would never happen... sure why not

[MrSeanSanAntonio]

3:23 it says what does lakers future hold? 3 finals appearances, 2 championships in just four years

[TheSneakyc]

I would of loved to see Kobe with the Bulls...

[babykevinxoxo]

I am sure Dr Buss heard all that advice.

[mlitvak07]

if the lakers did get garnett they would be unstoppable

[GaryDahujan]

Its Weird How All Of The Highlights In The Beginning Are Against The Grizzlies And Who Did The Lakers Go Out And Get.. Pau Gasol Who Played For Who... Oh Yeah, The Grizzliess

[demonyito69]

lebron traveled



[BsCeltics]

@demonyito69 ur mom travled

[delorean36]

Yes Kobe was and is a big baby

[riwanicki]

Dickie V was right - crittenton has to improve his decision making. For example: not bringing guns into the locker room to kill gilbert arenas

[BeingASmartMarkSucks]

@riwanicki And not murdering women...too soon?

[mwardia1]

stephen a smith is one funny dude man

[kbdemonbain]

thank god they waited and got pau

fisher imo is a very UNDERRATED person they signed that year

[michaeloptv]

Thank god for Dick Vitaile. Stephen A. Smith is on crack on what he was saying that night!



[301SO]

This seems like a long time ago mann

[padderzthy]

been watching nba for 2 years.....who the fuckis that commentator?

[Zachrydaman]

@padderzthy Which one? Stephen A smith or Dick Vitale?

[babykevinxoxo]

Dr Buss is no Dummy the people of L.A would run him out of town If he would have traded Kobe. DR. Buss is no Dummy.

[atlasonescorpio10]

You got to remember He was gonna get traded to Chicago. Who did Chicago have at the time? Starters...D. Gooden solid player, L. Deng, good player,B. Gordon good player,K. Hinrich pretty good, old B. Wallace, ok at that time. So he wasn't going to a team full of All-Stars or Superstars if he would of ended up being traded.

[slim5poppa]

lol do yall hear what they saying kobe wanted a another superstar he wanted to be traded look how quickly we forget we act like what lebron did was some new thing didnt shaq leave orlando back in the day to go to the lakers...smh

[jdubb1500]

5 years later Stephen A. Wins that dinner bet lol

[MrLockess]

3:00-3:34 comedy at its best

[Jasminbaum]

@rayshuttlesworth

you are right..

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth .......and don't get me started on the 2005 title that the Spurs won vs. the same Pistons team that blasted LA in 5 the year before, so although I'm having fun destroying you, and respecting you at the same time........I have to get back to work, but we'll get back to this later, GOD willing. I'm having fun, are you?

[Jasminbaum]

@jejesdad

LoL wtf! pistons are way much older...we all know that kobe is better than duncan, cant really compare them.

[jejesdad]

@Jasminbaum Who is we all? Kobe isn't better than Duncan on his own parents all-time team.

[Jasminbaum]

@jejesdad

we all? guess the world...

[jejesdad]

@Jasminbaum ......according to Jasminbaum

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth Did you just bring up that player that was at Gonzaga, and that red haired guy that has been with like 4 teams in 5 years? I can't even speak their names. I know that Tim is the best PF ever, and I've never heard anyone call Kobe the best SG of all-time. The greatest player of this era is and will always be Tim Theodore Duncan. LA played a Nets team, and an Orlando team that beat themselves in 1 of the 1st 2 games. They played the Pacers in '00. Your point would be?

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth Let's try this 1 more time.......Duncan had good to very good players around him, but he won with big men like Nesterovic, Elson, and Mohammed. Kobe has done NOTHING without an All-Star big man. He won 3 with Shaq, and 2 with Gasol. In the words of Stephen A. Smith (what did he win without 'em?) The defense rests!

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth You're seeing what you want to see, and hearing what you want to hear. In '03, Manu and Parker were not stars.....good players, but not stars, and in '05, they were much better. Kobe needs an All-Star C with him, and you know it. Stats and facts don't lie, but you're right, and I'll give you the point that it does take a team to win a title. My point is that Kobe can do nothing without another big man that is considered top 5 at his position.

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth So you have nothing left, other than personal insults? Yeah, shows how much you know about basketball. Duncan was a leader of a team, unlike kobe, so that's how I base my opinion, unlike Kobe, who NEEDS an All-Star big man to do anything legit, and the facts back me up dude, so you LOSE again!

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth So you're telling me that you'd build a franchise around Shaq, who has been with 5 different teams, or around Kobe, who did nothing without Shaq, or Gasol except get put out in the 1st round? Duncan, who is considered by many as the greatest PF of all-time, is 2nd or 3rd in your eyes, behind Kobe and Shaq? Yeah.......this conversation is over, Spurs fan or not. Anyone with common sense, and with any basketball knowledge disagrees with you dude (except Lakers fans)

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth He's a warrior, and yes he's a great player, but I'm not going to say he's a 1st, or 2nd ballot hall of famer. I'm a huge Spurs fan, just so you know, but I am just not sure if Manu will make the hall anytime soon. I hope he makes it 1 day, and I actually think he'll make it, but you make it sound like he's just that dude for the Spurs, and he isn't. A healthy Manu would have produced different results in the playoffs this year, so I agree with you on his impact.

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth I never said Manu wouldn't make the Hall......I asked if you think he'd make it, because I do love him, but the criteria is much different now, and I do know he's not a 1st or 2nd ballot HOF. Rings don't make 1 great, and being great isn't necessarily equated to rings. Horry has 7 rings, and Adam Morrison has 2, so that is 9 more than Stockton, Ewing, Barkley, and Malone combined. I don't look stupid at all

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth I never said Manu wouldn't make the Hall......I asked if you think he'd make it, because I do love him, but the criteria is much different now, and I do know he's not a 1st or 2nd ballot HOF.

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth ok who are you again? So you believe Parker and Ginobili are making the hall? 1st ballot, or later on? O'Neal, Payton, and Malone are 1st ballot guys, and Gasol is no worse than 3rd ballot. I love my Spurs, but I can't say that I'm confident that Manu will make the Hall, but Tony may make it. David gave Tim the 4 last years of his career and that was great, but Tim is a real leader, unlike Kobe. Change your name too ray, because you're not Ray Allen, and this isn't a movie.

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth So Kobe had NO talent around him? This year the Lakers have a $91 million payroll, the highest in the league, and probably of all-time, so what are you even talking about? Shaq got him 3 rings, and yes.....Duncan has talent around him, but he never played with 3 other future HOF's at 1 time.

I didn't say he wasn't a top 5 SG, I did say he wasn't a top 5 player ever, because HE'S NOT! Duncan over Kobe in their prime easily. Shaq and LeBron more valuable than Duncan???? yeah, ok

[jejesdad]

@rayshuttlesworth 5th best SG, maybe. Duncan is the best player of this era, hands down. Kobe never led a team to anything......Shaq got him 3 rings, and Gasol got him 2......the guy is a great player, but he's not even a player that I'd build a team around over Tim Duncan, when they were both in their prime.

[THEWWEFAN6789]

BYNUM FOR HOWARD ! ! ! ! !

[kekoa1013]

@THEWWEFAN6789 not gonna happen. gonna have to be bynum, odom, brown, 2 first round picks, and money

[keion008]

@rayshuttlesworth ur a dumbass. Kobe is the greatest ever. He jus as good as Jordan and 2-times younger than Jordan was wen he had those stats. Lakers ain't shit w/o Kobe. Wen he retires, it's goin to be the worst day in NBA history

[Dunkmaster3333]

@rayshuttlesworth omg

[Pain5155]

lmao they are both idiots, 2007 draft was one of the worst hahaha

[njnets2000]

The Pacers would be rejoicing if that happened......holy shit...

[2pacisthebest90]

jim gray sounds gay.

[joe625]

what the fuck? jermaine oneal for odom and bynum?....

[vcownzraptors]

@joe625 at that time jermain oneal was one of the best PF in the league god i hate people that lack common sense

[SmoothMM]

@joe625 I know, right? Granted, Jermaine O'Neal suffered less injuries and still a potential All Star in 2007. He would've been worth either Odom or Bynum but not both.

[MrAlvin714]

@joe625 glad that didnt went down huh lol

[L3g3ndkill4]

@joe625 Jermaine Oneal was an allstar and he was only 29 back then

[KillerTraits13]

@joe625 only way that makes sense is because they get rid of oneal next year and frees 22 million for a dwight

[KillerTraits13]

@joe625 and I mean now lol back then oneal was a beast

[Davewilson1234567]

Little did they know that they would go to the Finals the next three years and win two of them

[MiopTop]

just as he says " upgrade this roster " u see Pau in the picture, ironic right ?

[Dunkmaster3333]

why would you trade kobe? this was after he averaged 35 ppg, and got 81 points right? kobe is the best ever

[jejesdad]

@Dunkmaster3333 81 vs. the Raptors, lol. 35 ppg.......when you're taking 30+ shots, that stat is skewed, and when Wilt averages 50 a game, 35 looks like 30 pts. compared to 17 ppg. Kobe is the best Bryant to ever play in the NBA, but as far as the best player.......don't be a prisoner of the moment.

[rjhayskie09]

kobe should be traded for the whole Cav's roster.... and cheerleaders.

[chiggero]

Jim Gray has to be the biggest douche of all-time

[2pacisthebest90]

kobe is the best!!

[domski93]

Im so happy that they didnt trade kobe bryant and he changed his mind!

4 years later

2 NBA championships !

2 NBA Finals Mvp

1 MVP

2 nba all star mvp ( 4 time all up)

[BigBallin305]

He really thought 07 draft was deeper than 03.. smh

[GoldGodzilla]

"Go bike ridin, Do something"

[tacosdelengua08]

Stephan A smith is stupid a decade please they already going for there 3 peat in 11 some1 fire him hahah

[H3FThizz]

@tacosdelengua08 he said if they traded kobe and Shaq..

[THEUnknowneasy]

@tacosdelengua08 he meant if they traded both stars because they traded fag shaq....

[o3o791]

@tacosdelengua08 dude are you listening? or are you hearing impaired?

Smith said if they traded Shaq and Kobe it would take years or decades..

it was "IF" kobe was trade!!!!

so shut up and learn some english.. because I think you just don't have some hearing COMPREHENSION.

do you know what Comprehension means?? i bet not.. LOL

[unioncity]

How many did Jordan and Kobe win without Phil:0

How many did Phil win without Kobe and Jordan: 2

I Also rest my case, dumbass Stephen a Smith

[o3o791]

@unioncity Phil win 2 without Kobe and Jordan?? are you kidding me?? are you on drugs??

research something, moron, before you comment.. oh my god.. you are a dumb ass..

do you know how many championship ring Phil has?? 11 (as in eleven)

6 with Jordan..

5 with Kobe..

where the hell did you get those 2(two) without Kobe and Jordan..

FUCK YOU!! Bird Brain!!

[unioncity]

@o3o791

Phil won 2 as a starting PF for the New York Knicks. Those are still 2 rings. Before Phil came to Chicago Jordan was averaging 33 points per game but getting his ass busted by the Pistons. Before Phil came to L.A. Kobe was getting his ass handed by the Jazz and the Spurs. What happened the first season Phil became head coach for both team: (fill in the blank). Please don't be offensive. There is something called basketball history. U should learn it.

[o3o791]

@unioncity oh , that is when he was a player, numb nuts..

as a Coach he has only 11 championship moron..

wait till kobe or Jordan becomes a Coach..

lol..

[pistolpetestillalive]

look who he made the shot against at :31

[elnando1821]

Lakers have won TWO championships since...oh yeah it took DECADES to recover hahaha

[jdizzle2k86]

"IT WILL TAKE THEM YEARS TO RECOVER FROM THIS ! IF NOT DECADES..."~Smith

it only took half a season to rebuild LOL

[o3o791]

@jdizzle2k86 dude are you listening? or are you hearing impaired?

Smith said if they traded Shaq and Kobe it would take years or decades..

it was IF kobe was trade!!!!

so half a season because they didn't trade kobe..

[CarlosCandle]

LOL highlight video show gasol like 5 times

[jiboy87]

Dick Vitale sure lost that bet

[jiboy87]

Stephen A. Smith should do stand-up

[dawkinfreak20]

HMMM LOOK HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED ESPN, U LOS ANGELES HATER BITCHES, LOS ANGELES LAKERS 3 STRAIGHT FINALS NIGS. STEPHEN A. SMITH IS A DUMBASS BITCH WHO IS A HORRIBLE, JUST HORRIBLE, HE IS WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING

[wEzzTcoAztt23]

stephen a. smith always looks like he is gonna kick somebody's ass.

[intenserush01]

how different would the NBA be today if KG got traded to the Lakers...wow scary thought

[JonDaMan4Prez]

jermaine.. lmao

Odom and Bynum could have been traded for Jermaine Oneal....hahahahahahahahahahah­a
