Kobe a Bull?

As news continues to surface regarding Kobe Bryant's desire to be traded from the Los Angeles Lakers, the rumor mill is flying. Kobe's most frequent destination? The Chicago Bulls.

Kobe reportedly seriously considered signing with the Bulls in the 2004 off-season when he was a free agent, and Chicago is considered to be one of the teams to which Kobe would agree to be traded.

The match continues to work in that the Bulls could offer a package of young players (likely involving Ben Gordon and Luol Deng) that would please Laker management, as much as it could considering the loss of the best player in the game.

Do I think it will actually happen? Doubtful. And as a Laker fan, I hope not. Is it a possibility, though? Absolutely.

ESPN reported tonight that the Bulls and Lakers have begun preliminary talks regarding a Bryant deal, but Bulls GM John Paxson immediately denied the reports. It seems the media is trying to make it all a bigger deal than it really is. But, the fact remains that Kobe could be Chicago bound, and this image of Kobe donning a Michael Jordan throwback during the 2002 NBA Finals may have instead been a prediction of the future.
