You're assuming that the Clipps would've done that. Was there rumors of that deal occuring? I imagine it was just like the rumors of Dirk for Shaq. At the end of the day, Shaq's on his last legs while Kobe is the best player in the NBA. I'd take Kobe over Maggette and Brand any day of the week and that's not even throwing in Lamar Odom and Caron Butler. Meanwhile, the Heat will be in cap hell for awhile. Both the Heat and Lakers ended up great in the deal but you never take talent over age.
