They'll lose season ticket holders if they get what they got back for Shaq. I really cant see Chicago blowing up their team for Kobe. They already sell out and are a little maturity and a perimiter player from being a regular in the finals. The East is not strong, Detroit is falling apart (plus they are getting old), NJ is losing Carter which in itself is not bad but there is very little out there to replace his scoring, Cavs have cap issues which should keep them from adding an impact player, who else is there?
Buss is stuck with Kobe. There is just no way to get fair market value for him and make the money fit.
