Kobe wants to be traded to the Nuggets so he can be close to his Colorado ho's.
Im glad he is speaking out. That whole Shaq mess looks as though he doesnt deserve 1/5 of the blame he got.
Kobe is the best player in the league. Kobe is the most clutch player in the league.
If I were a team with assests, I would be ringing Kupchak's phone off the hook. Anyone with a brain should be. Someone alluded to Brandon Roy....if Portland could keep their #1 pick in the deal (Oden), they should pull the trigger.

Could be, Kobe as an off-court "go to" guy doesn't sound right.
What is funny is that Shaq gets traded and the very next day Kobe signs, but he said courting offers with Bulls & Clips didn't have anything to do with Shaq. Kobe also said Buss told him he wasn't trading Shaq because Kobe had a problem with him, and it was going to happen regardless of what Kobe did. The very next day Buss is on the phone with Kobe begging him to sign.
The trick for Kobe was to make everything look like someone elses decision, and the trick for Buss was to keep Kobe. Yeah, I'd say Buss got the better of Kobe, for sure.
Shaq has an axe to grind with Lakers for chosing Kobe's ego over his own, so why not back Kobe? Plus, who knows whether Lakers will trade Kobe for J-Will, Walker and Posey?
Shaq backing Kobe....Kobe bashing the FO....damn....hopefully they can right the ship prior to training camp. I have faith.....
The Lakers will not be the same next year......I think there will be a blockbuster trade involving KOBE.
Mark it.
lakers now should start over
hoever odom is not clear medically
he and brown are not clear
trading them will be hard
if I am cuban I offer anyone besided dirk for kobe
kobe for amare and 4 pick in draft
wait suns got ed in the draft that will not work

what do you think they should do?
I'd whine like a too if i was working my ass off trying to get to a ring while behind it all, the Front Office had no intention at all of even trying. What a waste of Kobe's prime. Thats some f*ked up Shiznit!
Kobe just asked to be traded
i think if kobe goes, so does phil.
if that happens, lakers are screwed.
Lakers better get a superstar...not no caron butler or lamar odom type players =P
Right. Dirk only singlehandedly bailed the Mavs out of a game 7 last year against the Spurs, and kicked Phoenix's asses in games 5 and 6 when they needed him most. He may not have had a great playoff run, but he is still a clutch player. Despite having a terrible showing, Dirk was the one making all the clutch plays when they were down 9 with like 3 minutes to go in game 5 against the Warriors.
^ Despite what people might think about Kobe presonally, he's still undeniably a great player. the mavs, as great as they are, could use a guy who's a legit threat in crunch time - from all angles, and it could help negate their warriors problem. Lakers would never go for it, though - that'd be suicide.
WHAT THE IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so pissed, at who Kobe, the FO, the fans.... , ...#$@$@#$@$@$@$
Kobe stayed idle the last 3 years saying the right thing....and now the front office is playing double talk and not keeping up with their promises This is ed. I love the Lakers, I love Kobe as a player....but this is messed. It's like when Gretzky was traded...I couldn't bear it.
oh i agree that Kobe would be great to have. im not arguing that one bit. i really hope the mavs pursue him. if they could have a duo of Kobe/Dirk, that would be sick. IMO, the Mavs should deal Terry, Howard, Harris for Kobe. then sign Steve Blake, resign Stack and George, and go after PJ Brown, or possibly even Bonzi Wells. then they could have a nice lineup of...
PG - Blake/Barea
SG - Kobe/Ager
SF - George/Stack
PF - Dirk/Brown
C - Diop/Damp
I know...99% of the people clowning Kobe in this thread is now salivating in hope of getting him on thier team.
Nothing new here, in my opinion. I always knew that the decision to trade Shaq back in 2004 was a money matter, and nothing more. And for the current situation, a lot of huffing and puffing will come out in the next few months, but nothing will happen. The Lakers won't trade Kobe. But I'm still not sure what kind of trade they could pull off in order to become a better team and advance past the first round.
lakers owner= liar
maybe not but baron davis wanted to go there for less money
wtf is up with lakers saying no
did lakers tell the paper to print the laker insider to say kobe forced shaq out so he would demand out
pr move on lakers part?
there were some rumors that Brown would hang 'em up next year, but if he does return, I suspect he'll want to go back to the bulls. Bonzi is probably the biggest team cancer this side of Ron Artest - bad idea. Other than that, yeah, you should be set. It might be better to keep Josh Howard though. Unfortunately, I have a feeling the lakers would never go for it, seeing as the mavs play in the West.
If they trade him, they'll send him east - and I'd hate that. We have too many superstar guard/forwards to deal with already.
