Vote: What is Kobe Bryant's trade value?



What is Kobe's trade value?
The Lakers righted their ship after an opening loss, but back-to-back wins against the Suns and Jazz haven't exactly silenced the speculation about Kobe Bryant's future with the team.

With rumors still swirling about where Bryant may play next, and when he may go there, ESPN.com NBA Insider Chad Ford took a look at what the superstar's trade value actually is.

Widely proclaimed in the media as the best player in the league, Bryant is also closing in on 30 and pulling in a hefty salary.
