I think Kobe should get traded right now. If the Laker's front office to too retarded to see that Andrew Bynum is going to be more than a role player, Kobe shouldn't have to suffer for it. I doubt a team of Jermaine O'Neal and Kobe Bryant with a thin bench is going to help them in the strong west.
*Legacy waits for Laker fan to come in and explain that Bynum is the next Kareem*
The Carter trade was good for us though. We traded a few first round draft picks that got the Raptors solid draft picks, but bad choices, 2 players who haven't been heard of for a while, and a good center than didn't want to play for them. While we got a star in return.
