[djweasel]

So theres a new video out there that shows his frustration toward Andrew Bynum and I was wondering also if anyone has a link to the whole video.

They won't trade him. He is the Lakers right now.

that's right..

The laker franchise charges a rediculous amount for seats, yet they won't go over the salary cap to get a few good players and get rid of the ****ing good for nothing players.

LA Lakers is now the LA Bryant.

He should pull the Vince Carter, be sh*t next season an hope for a trade.

There's no way Kobe will play crappy, people will read way too much into it. I was reading earlier that Laker's management won't even do a trade but maybe they will understand that Kobe is better off gone or somewhat.

Well Kobe is the franchise and if he could play with somone they should try get that person.

Wolves are planning on a possible KG trade and I'm from MN and I'd be all for it cus I love KG and want to see him get a ring.

Give the man a ****ing bone--Lamar is good but not great. I would feel frustrated as well.

Maybe this draft will help him. Good talent is coming out of this upcoming draft.

^^They are not going to get a great pick. They are not going to get a Odem, Durant, or something.

I am ALL for Kobe and I hope KG will come to LA and Bynum will forgive and forget.

The Lakers will be better off dealing him for a few reasons. Most importantly, he doesn't make his teammates better at all. The guy complains and complains about the other guys on the floor with him but what does he do to facilitate their improvement? Go for 81 in a meaningless game against the Raptors. The great players of the game always brought an extra intangible to a game that made their teammates better than they were. Kobe doesn't do that.

Kobe says he will only accept trades to Dallas, Phoenix, or Chicago. Well, Dallas and Phoenix are out, no way he gets traded within the West. So, say he goes to Chicago. Would the Bulls (who sell out games season after season) really want to take on Kobe and mess with the chemistry that the Baby Bulls have built there? Scott Skiles is the perfect coach for those kids but not for Kobe. Skiles isn't a pushover and that could boil over as well.

As far as this video goes...it just goes to show how much of a spoiled, egotistical, and out-of-touch with reality Kobe Bryant really is. For him to call out a teammate like that (not to mention this teammate is the youngest player in the league) is borderline suicide. Who will want to play with this guy? I mean, the guy went to the trouble to have this video, somehow and miraculously, made. And now the LA Times wants to put the video on their website and charge $1.99 for people to view it! Only in LA.

Kobe is a baby. Since the days of playing with Shaq all he did was bitch and complain about the other players. he is not that great of a player. What made him the player he is was the team and the help of Phil Jackson. I hope that he gets traded he needs a reality check outside of the Lakers to grasp what its like to be a team member. I doubt that any team in the West and even Chicago would want him.
