The Regime Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 The Mavericks nearly acquired Kobe Bryant in a trade with the Lakers in 2007, according to an interview Mark Cuban had on Tuesday. “When I was doing Dancing with the Stars, I was taking breaks because I was talking to Kobe’s agent because Kobe wanted to get traded,” Cuban said. “Literally, between Dancing with the Stars practices I had thought we traded for Kobe Bryant. I even talked to their owner and thought we were going to have done deal, and [Lakers GM] Mitch Kupchak changed [Kobe’s] mind and brought him back.” Dallas would not have traded Dirk Nowitzki for Bryant, which would have left Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse, Devin Harris, Erick Dampier, Josh Howard and draft picks as possible pieces. Bryant was seeking a trade during the 2007 offseason. http://mavsblog.dallasnews.com/2012/08/mark-cuban-on-how-the-mavericks-nearly-completed-a-trade-for-kobe-bryant.html/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Lol Dirk and Kobe are argueably the two toughest players to guard, put on the same team would have been cray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
