If you post a video of yourself dancing like Carlton to Tom Jones' "It's not Unusual" that's worth a red squre.

Will it get to a point where Clipper fans buy Lakers tickets so that they'll get to see 2-3 Clippers games?

Talk about a reversal of fortune.

The Lakers flat out lied to Bryant so they could keep him - they need the star power to keep the LA stars asses in the seats.

They let him take all the heat for Shaq leaving, and, to his credit, he did.

Then they throw him under the bus this year because they don't want to take the fall for a bunch of crappy seasons.

I am not a Bryant fan, but I feel for the guy now - I think he does want to win, hell, he was going to the lakers saying "how about we get Baron Davis? how about Carlos Boozer? How about Ron Artest?" what more do you want from the guy?

I think Bryant has every right to demand a trade now, the Lakers have flat out screwed him over and he is finally fed up.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually kind of feel bad for Bryant and the crap he has put up with from the Lakers...

The Lakers Front Office is so dysfunctional - they make the Yankees look like the Cosby Show. You got old man Buss running around trying to be a mini-Hugh Hefner leaving the team to his crackhead son Jimmy, who has never had a job in his life. His daughter who runs the business operations, happens to be sleeping with the Head Coach. Mitch Kupchak who is essentially a puppet - has no eye for talent if you look at his drafting record - it's atrocious.

Gee I wonder why Kobe wants out?? The Lakers are going down and they are going down hard.

I dont think I've saidthis before, but Kobe was right to do what he did today. He had been lied to and pushed around by the lakers for quite sometime. He gets stomped on by his own fans for not being perfect in every way, and he's had enough. Good on em.

Kobe after talking it over with Phil Jackson now wants to be a "Laker for Life". Phil must have some damn good chronic in the old peace pipe

You obviously didn't read the article or listen to the Steven A. Smith or Dan Patrick radio shows to form this ridiculous opinion of yours. ***NEWS FLASH*** - Without Kobe, the Lakers are easily the worst team in the league. Kobe is a competitor and winning is exactly what he's asking for.

My mom told me if I didn't have anything nice to say about anybody I should keep my mouth shut. Sorry Mom. Kobe is an over rated meatbag and I hope they trade him to some team where he won't do squat. Trade him someplace like the Knicks, thats where the thugs and other meatbags go.

It's all about his ego. When things aren't going his way he demands a trade.

Trade him to Denver when he can compete with another ego named Iverson.

Did some of you even hear the interview and read up on what happened?? The guy got blamed for Shaq leaving when the owner told him that he didnt want Shaq regardless of if Kobe signed. So Kobe put up with that crap for a couple years, then when he finds out that someone in the organization said it was Kobes fault and they also said the team was rebuilding (which the team promised him they weren't doing) he spoke out because he was sick of all the lies.

The Kobe hate on is getting to the point where it is just plain stupid.

I think there are only four teams that could even make a trade for Kobe.
Seattle and Portland will have either Durant or Oden and both are going to be superstars but both teams would have to give up something else and i am not sure what else either team would have to offer. The only decent player on is Ray Allen so Seattle is the front runner of the two.
Suns for Amare would be a blockbuster and almost a straight up trade but would the Lakers trade him to a division rival and could he share the spotlight with Nash. Magic 8 ball says all signs point to no.
NY is the best bet for any trade. Francis has matured and he makes the players around him better which is something Kobe has never done. NY would have to throw in a little more but since Kobe decided to go public his value would go down and add to that they are the biggest market and in the Eastern confrence this would make the most sense for the Lakers
Like him or not he is one of the top players in the league but any team that is already a contender would pretty much have to dismantle their starting roster just to get him anyways so as i see it these are pretty close to the only options barring some crazy multi team trade.

No kidding. It was like, people read the title of the post and didn't bother to read or find out what was going on.
The funny thing about all of this is, the media and the general public have been blaming Kobe for Shaq leaving Los Angeles when Shaq re-inforced yesterday that he believes Kobe 100%. You know, I understand the hate for an athlete, but if you don't know ##### about the sport or the story, don't say a thing.

Read the story, he's retracted his "demands".

...because there is no such thing as a pro athlete with an ego? Good one.

Sure he wasn't 100% responsible for him leaving but he certainly had a part to play in it by not wanting Shaq to stay. I don't think he is a bad guy for wanting Shaq gone I think he is an idiot. Had Shaq stayed Kobe would have had a shot at at least 5-8 more titles. Instead his ego got in the way he wanted to prove that he could win without Shaq and he was wrong.

I hate Kobe because he is selfish, a cry baby, a dirty player, a rapist and the epitome of everything that is wrong with basketball and its players today.

Kobe deserves every bit of ill will sent his way and has brought it on himself for the way he has acted throughout his career.

It always amazes me how many Kobe apologists out there who believe this poor Kobe BS and that he is such a matyr.
