Kobe will beat Jordan in the Ring Race

SportsCenter Trade Discussion

When arrived to my apartment today from school I turned my television on and as always it is on ESPN. I am a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers fan and have been since Kobe Bryant entered the league in 1997. The shocking news I found today was that Mitch Kupchak the Lakers General Manager has decided to put the entire team on the trade block besides Kobe Bryant. Kobe has three years and 83 million dollars remaining on his contract. Kupchak's ideal plan is to acquire both Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic and Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets. Addiding the most dominant center in the NBA and the best defensive player in the league will help protect the paint for the Lakers. The addition of Chris Paul will be a threatening facilitator that is able to make everyone on the court around him better. Having three superstars on the same team will open room for Kobe and his mid range jump shot. Their ability to spread the floor will be their strength and teams will not be able to match up to these all stars. As the NBA buzz continues you cannot count the New York Knicks out of the race for both Paul and Howard. The Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks may have some more competition from the West this year.
