New Maverick Kobe Bryant?

That's the possibility I've heard circulating on the internet, I just hope it ain't so. The trading chip of course being Dirk Nowitzki.

As Buddy Holly more famously said "that'll be the day that I die." I don't want the Mavs to trade the big German for anybody, unless they can clone a Michael Jordan in his late 20s, then that would be OK.

But I guess that's why I'm not a G.M. Could you image the trade. Just say it, "Dirk for Kobe, straight up."

As I’m typing this, it almost has an appealing ring to it. Dirk for Kobe. Kobe the Maverick. Kobe the Maverick!

We all know Kobe probably wants to leave the Lakers, but why. Yeah his team is the LeBron Cavaliers of the West, but at least he has Lamar Odom.

I'm starting to like Luke Walton too. The Lakers aren't that bad, and I don't know if Kobe's request for THE NBA symbol, Jerry West, is going to make everything better.

Everybody wants to tar and feather Dirk after their first-round exit, but is shipping him to L.A. the thing to do? Would Mark Cuban do such a thing?
