I'm the one who said that the Bulls cannot win a championship with the team they have now. No team in the modern era without a superstar has won a championship. Jordan, Shaq and Kobe, Duncan, Shaq and Wade. Luol Deng will forever be a Scottie Pippen type player, and the rest are all above-average starters, but they have nobody come clutch time who can take over a game. If they want to get to the next level, they'll trade for Kobe.
Personally, I'd go with a Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, Joakim Noah, and a 1st rounder swap for Kobe. That's about as close to win-win as you can get. With the addition of Tyrus Thomas and Noah, the Lakers now have THE deepest and youngest frontcourt in the West. Ben Gordon can replace some of the scoring.
