Anyway, the "superstar" argument isn't cut and dry in my mind. In this particular case, I would not want Kobe if it meant losing 4 of our current players. The current team made it to the second round of the playoffs and I'm excited about this season to see if they can improve.
If the Bulls sucked ass, then yes, send the whole team out west to get Kobe.
my argument has more to do with "fan loyalty" than it does with just stars in general. a star from a rival team helping your team...like, as mentioned before, if brett favre could come to the bears, why would you not want him?

If it is simply a question of having a "star" rival playing for my team (without questioning what we give up to get him) then I don't give a shit. For the most part, any time the players talk about a rivalry, it's for the fans benefit. They couldn't care less. Do you honestly think that Lovie only REALLY wants to beat the Packers? No. He said what he said because he knew it would make him a fan favorite.
Right, but even now with so much free agency, you'd probably hate a beloved player LEAVING your team now, rather than hate a player from a rival team COMING to your team.
but on the Kobe argument, which is different, you shouldn't blow up a team for a super star. The Lakers themselves did this...how many championships have they won since?
