Hey Guys,
So I've been a hard-core Lakers fan since '93.
Followed every season, followed almost every game....
SO it came to my surprise that Kobe Bryant actually wanted to be traded from the Lakers. This is a player that has never been on any other team other than the Lakers since high school. He is the Lakers.
My bias- I def. like Kobe over Shaq. Im glad shaq left and kobe stayed....
Now, why does he want to leave??
HE says that he wants higher management to bring their act together or he will leave.
Come on Kobe! Grow up and play the game. The lakers have done everything for you. They are building a team around YOU. YOU have an amazing contract. YOU make a lot of the calls.
What other player can say the same???
Even Shaq doesnt have that power in Miami.
Sorry, I think im just venting over the stupid comments Kobe's been making over the past few days. Im still supporting Kobe, but once you leave buddy that support will be long gone! :Xo!

Kobe's a dirtbag... can't stand him and wouldn't want him on my Pistons!

You're such a homer. You mean to tell me Pistons management wouldn't even entertain the idea? :/O
You could make an argument that my Warriors don't need him (they're already loaded with SG & SF), but I'd definitely consider it.
Wake up B-Rob!

I think it was a negotiation tactic that he used. He knew that if the media heard him say those words that everyone would start talking about the Lakers and every sports show would start dissecting their management and team. That's exactly what he wants to happen so that he show the management that others agree with him.
-
Beside the fact that he is a very selfish individual...you cannot deny the fact that he is one of the best players in the NBA, Lebron, him, & Duncan, not in any order...I may be shunned for saying this, but I think Kobe just wants to be on a winning team, ala Jodan and the Bulls those years, I think the $$$, ala Clemens, is not as important...

Yea, i thought so too....
but he has to remember that he has fans and that he cant be playing with their emotions...
some ppl take the sport/team very seroiusly....he could have just came out and said that he is very upset with the team...rather than first say he wants to leave...than stay...now leave again...

You can't even mention Kobe in the same sentence as MJ...
MJ was a basketball god! No one playing today is even close to his Bulls playing days...

Basketball is a TEAM game and Kobe is not a team player... He's a spoiled little brat that thinks he's a superstar. Any team that is interested in him better have a coach/management that will break him of his "I" attitude.

Figured you'd go there.Tough to argue that.
Don't know if Flip Saunders is the guy to do that. I think Don Nelson (Warriors coach) could handle Kobe, but I'd rather see the GSW pick up someone that can bang down low. Not necessarily as a starter, but someone that can give us 20 mins a game when the pace changes.
Between Baron Davis, S. Jackson. J Richardson, Al Harrington, Andres Biedrins, and Monte Ellis, we're looking good. To bring Kobe in means we'd have to give up at least two of these guys. Personally, I'm not certain that really improves the GSW.

All you Chicago guys are alike...I was exactly comparing the 2 as far as talent goes, I was saying that I think KoBE just wants to have what Mike had with all those championships won, even though him and Shaq did what they did, I think Kobe is trying to prove that he is the main guy and he can win a championship w/o a big time guy next to him on the team, which is why he is a selfish individual....

A great basketball player is one who can put his team on his shoulders and take them to the next level, when he needs to but is selfless otherwise. Like MJ, and LeBron now. This is not Kobe. The Lakers haven't made the playoffs since Shaq left and barely played .500 this year. Let him stay in LA. They deserve his ego.
-
OH please, I agree, keep him out there.

The lakers were in the playoffs this year, maybe you meant the finals?
KOBE is selfish, definitely not a team-player, which is why he will probably never win another championship, but he is a great basketball player, one of the top ever to play in the game, I don't know how you can deny that, they wouldn't not have made the playoffs this year w/o him, but he is definitely not a TEAM-PLAYER. 8)

Ive been a hard core lakers fan since the early 1980's, Kobe is a selfish player, i would rather have him go and get someone good in place that is unselfish and committed to winning a championship.
