In 29, Kobe voluntarily applied for a transaction in 2007. What quotations did other teams give at that time?

Kobe's career can be said to be a wonderful history of counterattacks. From role players to league appearances, the 26-year-old Kobe has won three championships with the Lakers and has won three consecutive championships. Since O'Neal left the Lakers in 2004, the Lakers' record has plummeted. Many media and even individuals have always doubted Kobe's personal ability. The first three championships were won by O'Neal's halo. At that time, the Lakers' lineup was indeed not very good. It was very difficult to rely on Kobe to carry forward alone, so it was normal for Kobe to ask the Lakers' senior management to strengthen the team, but after three seasons passed, the Lakers did not react at all. During the offseason in the summer of 2007, Kobe took the initiative to apply for a deal to the Lakers. Kobe was only 29 years old at this time. It can be said that Kobe's application for a deal must have caused a sensation in the league and attracted the attention and quotes of many teams.

1: The Dallas Mavericks

At that time, the Dallas Mavericks were also a strong team in the league, with superstars such as Nowitzki in the team. At this time, Kobe was introduced, there is no doubt that the Mavericks must have greatly improved their attention to the championship or the league. The Mavericks' offer to the Lakers is that except Nowitzki, they can give any player, including Terry, Josh Howard, etc., plus some draft picks, as long as the Lakers need them, but in the end, no deal was reached. The Lakers believe that Terry, Josh Howard are not of level enough, and the Mavericks have strengthened their relationship with the Lakers. At that time, the Mavericks will become the real opponent of the Lakers.

2: The Cleveland Cavaliers at that time had a 22-year-old player named James. At this time, James could contribute 27.3+7+6 per game. At this time, the Cavaliers can introduce Kobe, and there is no doubt that the strength of the Cavaliers has greatly increased. The point guards include Kobe and small forward James. Think about what level this lineup is, which makes the entire league tremble. The Cavaliers gave the Lakers a quote that any player except James can add some first-round draft picks, but the Lakers asked Kobe to replace James alone, but in the end, the Cavaliers refused, and the two sides did not reach a deal.

3: The Chicago Bulls

As a veteran giant team, the Bulls will definitely not fall in the competition for Kobe. The Bulls gave the Lakers the offer at that time, Ben Gordon + Noah + Noscione + 2 first-round draft picks. It can be said that this offer is full of sincerity. Ben Gordon can contribute 21.4 points per game, Noah can score well, and Noscione can contribute 14.1 points per game. But the deal failed in the end. Why? The Lakers also wanted the Bulls and Roll Deng to add one, but they were rejected by the Bulls. After all, Roll Deng was trained by the Bulls as a cornerstone player at this time.

4: In my opinion, the Detroit Pistons were also full of sincerity. Their offer to the Lakers was Hamilton, Stuckey, Mark Hill, two first-round draft picks. Hamilton averaged 19.8 points per game at that time. In the end, the Lakers still looked down on this chip. Hamilton was not as good as Kobe in terms of scoring and influence, and Kobe was not interested in Detroit, so the deal was not reached in the end.

Of course, in addition to these four teams, there is also the Timberwolves. At that time, the Timberwolves wanted to trade Kobe, so that Kobe and Garnett could form the strongest combination in the league, but the Lakers did not receive a call from the Timberwolves and did not enter the substantive negotiation process in the end, which is a pity. In the end, it was the Lakers' old Buss who promised Kobe that he would strengthen next season, and Kobe's team revoked the transaction application. By around February 2008, the Lakers obtained Gasol through operations, which finally proved that the Lakers' choice was right. In the next three seasons, under the leadership of Kobe and Gasol, the Lakers entered the finals three times and won the championship twice.
