How good was Kobe in 07? When he proposed a trade request, look at the chips given by the teams will understand

Kobe was ranked 8th in the previous ranking of the top 75 NBA superstars of all time, and in many versions of the star ranking, Kobe is a top 10 player of all time. But in terms of his true strength and influence, it's not too much to rank him in the top five of all time. Compared to fans who have seen the 10-second-long shot of Kobe alone at the Beijing Olympics entrance ceremony in 2008, which caused the entire audience to shout wildly, next to James and Wade did not enjoy such glory. Although Kobe entered the NBA as a talented high school student, he did not get many opportunities in the early part of his career, and did not enjoy the star-studded treatment as soon as he entered the league like James. Kobe played from the bench, through hard training step by step to build his legendary NBA career. In his career, Kobe has won five championship trophies and one regular season MVP, two MVP, four All-Star MVP, two regular season scoring champions, 18 All-Star starters and 15 Best XI selections.

And 2007 Kobe can be said to have reached the peak of his career, a single season can not cut 10 times 50 +, but also in March games in four consecutive games got 50 +, and there are two games cut 60 +. When the season Kobe's average data is set at 31.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals, Kobe not only in the offensive end to play a phenomenal performance, in the defensive end he was also selected to the best defensive lineup a. Unfortunately, the overall strength of the Lakers is weak, there is no teammate around Kobe can really help him, the end of the season, Kobe to strengthen the roster for the ultimate purpose, to the management of the application for trade. The news came out, the entire league exploded, the degree of reaction of the teams far beyond Durant and Harden to trade applications, most teams have shown their trading chips.

The Dallas Mavericks made an offer for any of the team's assets other than Horowitz. As we all know, Cuban is one of Kobe's super fans, collected Kobe's various versions of jerseys, and let Kobe team up with Horowitz, may be to form a dynasty team, Cuban want to get Kobe's psychology at all costs also makes sense. Unfortunately, the chips of the Mavericks are not enough to see, because at that time the most trade value chips in the hands of Cuban is Horowitz, the Lakers are also thumbing their noses at the Mavericks' offer, the deal ultimately did not materialize.

The Detroit Pistons gave an offer of Hamilton, Stuck, Mark Hill, and 2 first-round picks. Hamilton was at his peak, averaging 19.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and he was selected to the All-Star team in the 2006-07 season, and was the true core of the Pistons that year. Mark Hill is a first-round pick, can also be used as a blue-collar interior to use, Starkey is also a first-round 15th young man, but such chips naturally did not impress the Lakers management.

The Chicago Bulls gave an offer of Nonunion, Cyrus Thomas, Ben Gordon and Noah, and 2 first-round picks. Ben Gordon can contribute 21.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.8 steals per game, either starting or playing sixth man from the bench. Nonunion is also a power forward averaging 14.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game and plays tough. Noah is the first round of the ninth round of the rookie in 07, he has not bad defense as well as rebounding ability, passing, tactical planning is also done very well, the Bulls expect a lot from him, even so, the Lakers still did not agree to the deal.

Cleveland Cavaliers offered all the chips that James unexpectedly had. In fact, after Kobe proposed a trade application, the Lakers proposed to the Knight Kobe single for James program, James is a rising superstar, when the season's average data of 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.6 steals, but also selected as an All-Star. It can be said that James's strength and future than Kobe more promising, and James is younger than Kobe, which is a huge advantage, the owner of the Knight wants Kobe, but they are not willing to take James to single for Kobe, the deal also blew up.

Of course, we know that the year Kobe applied for the deal may just pressure the Lakers management, in the hope that the Lakers quickly introduce strength players, to compete for the title, after all, and O'Neal broke up with the sharks in the Heat took the title, the pressure all came to Kobe side, which is to strong Kobe difficult to accept. However, the Lakers' management eventually complied with Kobe's wishes, with Kramer Brown, Aaron McGee, Criterion and Marc Ga sol's signing rights, plus two first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 for Paul Ga sol. And Kobe also gave back to the Lakers management with the championship, Kobe also achieved a good story of one man and one city.
