Comments about ‘Will Utah join those clamoring for Kobe Bryant?’

Larry H is anything but a risk taker when it comes to the Jazz. What is the biggest risk he has ever taken? Going out on the edge to trade away DeShawn for Gira? Drafting Eric Leckner? The day the Jazz are in a huge headline trade is the day Shaq hits all his free-throws.

if kobe came to utah I would discontinue being a fan.

There is no way Kobe would come to Utah. He wants the limelight and would never come to the smaller Utah market, no matter what he got paid or who he's playing with. We can all keep dreaming if we think (or even want)this could happen.

What is with Utah fans that whenever Kobe steps on the court even a court that the jazz arent playing on the insist on booing him? If he were to come to UTah he would in so many ways help this franchise! If there were a way to get him boozer and Deron in the same starting five the JAzz would be a major contender. Guarantee it! Wow get over it!

Good try T Buck. I admire your coverage of the Jazz but the DesNews must really have been desperate for stories because this really is a good one- Jazz entering in the Kobe sweepstakes? That is hilarious. It isn't that the Jazz couldn't be a good fit for him and it isn't a matter of being a small-market team. I think Kobe could potentially like it here- that's true. But there is no WAY Larry H would or Kevin OConnell would have grow the stones to pull off a trade like this one. Jazz have never pulled a blockbuster. Signing Kirilenko, Boozer and Okur for way more than they should be making does not a risk taker make. Good try T Buck. Go Jazz!

Ron, I am sure they would find a fan to take your place.

With Kobe Bryant the Jazz would go all the way.

Dreamer, it's Kevin O'Connor...

So I'd really like to talk to Buckley to see if this article has any basis, or if it's just conjecture. Tim, if you read these comments at all, it would be nice to know that this is more than just a rumor you're starting. Is this nothing more than you "seeing through the smokescreen", or is this based on something more substantial? I, for one, would be thrilled at the idea of the Jazz pursuing Bryant. I think he would come at the cost of some combination of Okur, Kirilenko, Brewer and/or Millsap, but man... him, Boozer and Williams in the starting five would be just ridiculous.

I agree with Ron. KObe should never come to Utah. He, like others said is only in it for the limelight and would not work under the Jazz system. HE is NOT a team player!!!!!!!!!!!

ummmm, no. That is truly a situation where no one would win (lakers, jazz, lakers fans, jazz fans, kobe), but "what if?" can still be fun.

JAZZfan, your an idiot. The only reason kobe would never come to Utah is because Sloan doesn't want a thug on his roster

If Kobe were to come to Utah Im sure he would have enough respect for Jerry Sloan to play within the offense. Jerry would love his defense and it would give the Jazz a legitimate shot at the title......something the Jazz fans who don't want Kobe on the team dream for..........oh well, playoff team at best, unless a star comes in to compliment Williams and Boozer. I actually see Malone and Stockton in Williams and Boozer.....looks familiar doesnt it?

This article is hilarious!!!! Dont have any idea what you all are thinking out there in Utah... I would say that Kobe has a better chance of being traded to the Atlanta Falcans for Michael Vick....

perhaps it would need to be a multi-team trade, and the jazz would be wise to pursue being on the inside of at least knowing what's out there. i don't think they believe they could get or would want kobe.

The Laker's seem more interested in criminals anyway. Vick would be a good fit.

Laker Fan is just upset that he will eventually loose his favorite player to some other fan.

Ask any ten people on the planet what the most unlikely trade in the NBA would be. They'd answer anything involving Kobe Bryant ending up in Utah. Putting a major NFL team in the REAL SALT LAKE's fake REAL SANDY SOCKER STADIUM would be a more likely event.

This article wins the "Most Ridiculous Unfounded Trade Rumor Award". Not only would Kobe sit on his hands until they turned purple before playing one half court set with the Jazz, there's no way that our trade bait would bring him here.

Let's also ignore the fact that we would have to completely re-tool the offense to make Kobe the primary scorer. Since Sloan is barely deciding to incorperate AK into the offense, I'm thinking that a complete re-draft of the offense would be a bit more daunting.

Of course, this is a moot point, because Kobe would sooner try out for a Canadian football team before he would ever wear a Jazz uniform and play at the "Energy Disposal Center".

It would be really difficult for me to support the Jazz if Kobe was here and so I am happy that is such a far-fetched idea. He stands for all that is wrong with the NBA. If we doesn't want to play a team sport let him take up tennis!

I think we'd see Kobe in an army uniform before he would put on Jazz blue or black or white. Unfounded rumors abate and this is obviously jsut that. I don't think Kobe would go anywhere except possibly New York. Or maybe the Clippers.
