If Kobe got traded, would this be the biggest trade in NBA history?

If not, which is the biggest trade in NBA history?



If Kobe got traded, would this be the biggest trade in NBA history?nba trade





yes



If Kobe got traded, would this be the biggest trade in NBA history?nba season ,nba teams



I would certainly hope not!
Id say its one of the biggest, just because kobe ruined the whole team, so he could have it his way, and then he got it and now he wants out. he didnt like shaq, so they got rid of him. he didnt like the coaching staff, and that problem was also resolved. all the organization did for him, and he shows no appreciation to the city or fans
YES, If Kobe Bryant gets traded it will be the biggest trade in NBA History here is why:



When Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlin, %26amp; Shaquille O'neal got traded. They were not the best players in baskeetball, they were not with biggest contracts valued at $136.8 million, they didnt have the option to go where ever they wanted, they did not have #1 Jersey sales in the world, and most importanlty they were not young.



Kobe Bryant has and is all of these things, thus making him the biggest trade in NBA history. Also he is the most controversial player in sports as well, it would make so much buzz that would be both negative anf positive.
I can think of three bigger trades involving the Lakers, alone. It wouldnt' even be the biggest trade in Lakers history this decade.



I'd put it behind the trade of Shaq from LA to Miami.



And I'd put it way behind the trade of Wilt Chamberlain from 76ers to LA.



I think Abdul-Jabbar was also traded. He had won one championship with Milwaukee and then won 5 more with LA.



So
No, Dr. J (Julius Erving) traded leagues when he was the face of the ABA, when he went to the Sixers, that was huge.
Chamberlain and Abdul-Jabbar were both traded. Chamberlain was so dominant that the NBA had to change the rules. Jabbar was so dominant that the NCAA had to change the rules.
Shaq being traded influenced the league more. Miami won a championship within 2 years and the Lakers have been relatively woeful since he left. The places Kobe wants to go to, he probably would not turn them into championship teams immediately and the Lakers won't plummet as badly as when Shaq left. They'll go from a B to a C when Kobe leaves instead of going from an A to a D when Shaq left.
someone should get him in trade so they can make him clean the locker room. thats about all he is good for anymore.



maybe the towel guy or water boy.



waaaaaaaaaaaa kobe
No it'd be big tho
I think that it would be the best move on the Lakers part. They need to stop catering to this brat.
Well it would have to be. Right now I think the biggest trade was when Red Auerbach traded Ed Macauley to St. Louis for the rights to draft Bill Russell. The rest is history. Russell won 11 championships in 13 seasons. By the way Ed Macauley won the first NBA All Star Game MVP in 1951.
hell nah **** Kobe the best NBA history is when Michael Jordan made the famous dunk
chamberlin, kareem, shaq,



nah he won't be because he can't win titles for his new



team like the above 3 did.



based on results. kareem coming to the lakers was



the biggest trade in history on nba, lakers won like 4



or 5 titles with him. shaq would be second, lakers won



3 titles because of shaq.



Kobe does not even measure up as a team mate much



less a champion.
Depends on how you define big. If you mean big as in number of players then my vote goes to this:



"August 2, 2005: MIAMI HEAT acquires F Antoine Walker from the BOSTON CELTICS and G Jason Williams, F James Posey and G Andre Emmett from the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES and the draft rights to C Roberto Duenas from the NEW ORLEANS HORNETS in a five-team trade that sent G-F Eddie Jones to Memphis, F Rasual Butler to New Orleans, a 2006 second-round draft pick, a conditional second-round draft pick, F Qyntel Woods and the draft rights to Albert Miralles to Boston; The UTAH JAZZ acquired C Greg Ostertag from Memphis; Boston acquired C Curtis Borchardt from Utah and G Raul Lopez from Memphis; New Orleans acquired G Kirk Snyder from Utah." That's 13 players.



In terms of player impact I would say it's a tie between



1) Kareem Abdul Jabbar



Traded to: Los Angeles Lakers (with C Walt Wesley)



Traded for: C Elmore Smith, F/G Junior Bridgeman, G/F Brian Winters, F Dave Meyers



Trade date: June 16, 1975



I mean, Kareem was playing for the Lakers long after the other guys retired!



2) Oscar Robertson traded to Milwaukee for G Flynn Robinson and F Charlie Paulk on April 20, 1970. Robertson and Kareem win the title right after.



3) Moses Malone to Philadelphia for Caldwell Jones and a first round pick. Malone wins championship, regular season MVP and finals MVP afterwards.



I noted the above three trades because they were lopsided and had immediate and/or lasting impact.



Kobe being traded? we'll have to see WHO he is traded for and what the result it.



Also, Kobe was NEVER MVP. Moses Malone, Kareem, Oscar Robertson and Wilt were MVP by the time they were traded, were considered among the greatest EVER. Kareem and Wilt had already won championships by the time they were traded. Championships when they were the main guy and not second banana like Kobe.



Not young? Chamberlain and Kareem were both 28 when they were traded. Same age as Kobe now.
