Are you absolutely kidding me right now?

At least Lebron James makes *a little* sense. Lebron probably won't be in Cleveland too much longer, and he has expressed interest in moving to New York.

But Kobe Bryant? You're absolutely joking.

Kobe may have expressed interest in leaving the Lakers early in the season - "he was dead serious". Now? Not a chance. The Lakers are four wins away from the Championship.

Not happening.

These trades may work on the ESPN Trade Machine, but a little realism please?

1. Trade Jared Jeffries, David Lee, and Nate Robinson for Vladimir Radmanovic and Luke Walton

Radmanovic will be on the bench next year, if all goes well with Bynum in the offseason, so he could be dealed along with Walton.

2. Trade Quentin Richardson and Jamal Crawford for Jerry Stackhouse and Jason Terry

Pending the previous trade, the Knicks would need a solid point guard.

3. Trade Zach Randolph, Wilson Chandler, Jerome James, Mardy Collins, and Malik Rose for Lebron James, Anderson Varejao, Wally Szczerbiak, and Damon Jones

Obviously the blockbuster deal. James wants out within the next few years, and they also get to unload a couple large contracts for young talent.

I did USE THE ESPN TRADE MACHINE.

All of mine are valid USING THE ESPN TRADE MACHINE.

Thought I'd just throw that in there.

I'd expect you would at least take some realism into account. You didn't really take any realism.

The ESPN Trade Machine is completely unrealistic. If the roster space and salary cap complied, you could trade Kobe, Lebron, Iverson, Howard, etc. to the Knicks.

They could have the best team.

My trade does help the Knicks, and I still helped them gain star power. I also gave them some new additions in way of young players.

Yes, good luck.
