Who's the Most Untradeable Player?
With trade talks swirling around some of baseball's best young talent, the winter meetings (Dec. 3-6) could get very interesting. But while the current employers of the likes of Johan Santana, Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis ponder what they might get in return, we're wondering who is the one player in any sport a team would be most crazy to trade away.

Kobe Bryant - everyone would like to have him, but no one can afford him. They can't afford the draft choices, players, and money it would cost. And most teams REALLY can't afford the killjoy factor he brings into the locker room.

Donovan McNab, unwanted/untradeable.

Kobe, with his ridiculous trade clauses.

Lebron James - Born & raised in the same town that he plays in... A team guy... Without him Cleveland would be lucky to win 30 games... he fills the seats every night.
btw... I hate Lebron James, just kills the Wizards!

Miguel Tejada! Don't you think the O's would have traded him by now??? ;)

Tim Duncan=NBA championships and class!! Many would love to have him but it will never happen!!

Tom Brady, Derek Jeter and LaBron James

I think Lebron James is the most logical answer. While Tom Brady is one of the all time greats, the Patriots could still be a playoff team with an average quarterback. The Cavaliers would be one of the worst teams in the league without Lebron. The guy has 0 talent around him.

Art Rooney often told reporters that one player he would have never traded: Joe Greene - cornerstone of the Steelers 70's Dynasty.

Peyton Manning, he makes everyone around him that much better than they are individually.

Definitely Beckham in the MLS.
Knoxvillenat- certainly Peyton Manning believes that.
Chris - LeBron James is not a logical answer. People, can you get off the bandwagon? For being called the next MJ, the guy was 4th in the league in scoring last year (sorry, Kobe, Carmelo and Gil are the top three) and pales in comparison with MJ's defense (MJ, like, totally won defensive player of the year. Yes it matters.). I hate Kobe but he's the best. GO Wizards.

I have to add that Shirley Povich told me that Willie Mays was the best player he ever saw, and that's saying a lot.

Right "now" I would say Tony Romo, as he is the hottest QB in the league and the fans and media love him and Jones would be shot if he traded him.

Adrian Peterson (Vikings type) Could be the cornerstone of a soon to be playoff contender.

Shouldn't untradeable be the guy who the team can't move?
