I don't think Kobe will be traded though. But if he is, my money is on Dallas or Phoenix. Those two teams have done everything they can to win a title, and it's just not happening. They need to make major moves.

Guess they meant on a S&T or something like that. Anyway, I don't see it happening, basically because who would Chicago end with? Hinrich, Gordon and Kobe? Talk about an ego clash. Plus they'd lose Deng, you don't know how Nocioni will heal (or not) so you'll have an overcrowded G position and no bigs. Not happening IMHO. Besides, Chicago is aiming towards Gasol or Garnett (and man, that will require some creativity to make it happen, esp on Garnett's case)
About Kobe with Dallas... Possible. Suns? No way. Unless Suns FO is out of their minds, they just need a tiny bit adjustment, getting Kobe would mean rebuild everything from the scratch, hence more years of waiting.
Personally I think Kobe is aiming towards cities more than teams, and then I'd say Chicago or New York. But in the case of Chicago, trade should include Gordon and not include Deng. We'll see. But I see Kobe out of Lakers as well, Robert Horry mentioned something yesterday as well.
