Bulls GM Paxson Shoots Down Kobe Bryant Trade Talks
Kobe Bryant will not be a Chicago Bull anytime soon, according to Bulls General Manager John Paxson. There have been a number of rumors as to where Bryant will be traded to.
Paxson said that he and the Los Angeles Lakers organization has talked about the possibility, but had never solidified a true conversation about the deal taking place.
Speculation picked up Wednesday, with one report saying the Bulls, Sacramento Kings and Lakers were discussing a three-way trade that would bring the superstar to Chicago.
That scenario had Paxson sending Ben Gordon and a signed-and-traded P.J. Brown to Sacramento, Chicago's Ben Wallace and the Kings' Ron Artest heading to Los Angeles. Paxson dismissed the rumor, saying a deal involving Brown would send the Bulls over the luxury tax threshold, something they're reluctant to do.
Bryant has a no-trade clause and can opt out in the summer 2009, although he has said he wouldn't mind playing in Chicago. Paxson does not want to gut his roster or part with small forward Luol Deng, who appeared to be on the verge of stardom last season.
There have been rumors that Bryant would veto any trade offer with the Bulls if Deng was involved. He wants to play with Deng if he does go to the Bulls and is reportedly adamant that Deng remain on the team or he is not going to be traded to Chicago.
