In 2007, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant decided to request a trade because he felt that management wasn't making the right moves to build a championship team. The Chicago Bulls were rumored to have the best shot at acquiring him since they possessed an abundance of young talent to part with. The Bulls were said to have offered anyone on their roster except for Luol Deng, who for some reason was considered untouchable. Anyway, Bryant...

For anyone that ever questioned the value of Pau Gasol, the play of the Los Angeles Lakers is making the answer painfully obvious. In his absence, the team has suffered mightily on both ends of the floor. Their latest display against the Houston Rockets highlighted their various post troubles, and made his return paramount to returning to their oiled-machine-like ways. That's not to say that center Andrew Bynum hasn't performed admirably in...
