Your daily Kobe deal, June 24

Kobe to the Hornets of New Orleans for:

Tyson Chandler (LA native), Chris Paul (personable young star), Rasual Butler, Hilton Armstrong, and the 2007 Draft #13 Pick

The Hornets would be looking for a center (unless they thought 2nd year man Cedric Simmons was up to the task), but their other 4 starters would be the underrated David West, Peja Stojakovic/ Desmond Mason, Kobe, and Bobby Jackson – they could make some noise. The Lakers get 2 young up and comers and a draft pick. The trade looks better for the Hornets if they could include Peja instead of Chandler, but I don’t see the Lakers going for that.
