I hear what he says though. These players are not all that, and they turn down $12,000,000? That's an anomaly.

Can you please elaborate?

Kobe trusts Jackson. Jackson stays, it's an invitation for Kobe to stay. Fortunately for the Laker front office, they didn't succumb to Kobe's pressure and they kept Andrew Bynum. Andrew scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks, 0 fouls in only 28 minutes of play vs. the Warriors. And he...

It's not going to happen. That's like having a fire sale.

I agree. It was not their call.

This only means one thing. Kobe is going to get some help. The Ariza deal may not exactly what the Lakers need to get over the hump but it was a step in the right direction. Even with the team they have in place, they should still make a lot of noise if they tighten up defensively, and keep...

That trade proposal is one-sided and the Lakers will never approve it. Putting up with Kobe? The Kings would be lucky to have his leadership, the kind of leadership he is displaying this year which has stimulated the team chemistry. Great deal for the Kings... non-sense to the Lakers.

The Lakers need defense, not offense. They are giving up a lot of defense in that proposal and getting an aging Kidd on his last leg. It doesn't make the Lakers a contender, plus they are taking on a player who is seeking an extension who is clearly over the hill.

I don't necessarily believe it's all crap. While it may not be a strike, it can certainly be read any way you want. I would be unhappy too if I didn't get a $13 million extension. Kid is not the same player he used to be though. Still solid, and still a top PG in the league, but not as he...

Van Gundy wouldn't have won it for the Heat that year. The team was floundering until Riley turned it around. And it would have been a waste of Shaq's precious time. Now, the Heat are toast. If they make the first round, the will be out in a sweep again.

Kobe demanded a trade out of frustration. And yes, after the loss to the Nets, the Lakers are reeling. I really don't think he was 100% serious about getting traded. He just had to vent, and he ranted to the media. Personally, I thought it was out of poor taste and judgment. At this stage...

Kobe is not going anywhere. If he is traded before he can opt out, I'll never. I mean, NEVER post here again.

I'm not really sure Kobe wants to be traded. He had an opportunity to go to the Pistons, but he vetoed the deal. I think he wants to stay in L.A. but so much has been said, and he DID open his mouth when he shouldn't have. Kobe was born to be a Laker and don't be surprised if he retired a...

Great game by the Kings and I give them nothing but props. Udrih was unbelievable. And Brad Miller somehow remembered at one point, he was an all-star. Props.

Kobe has the only no-trade clause in the NBA. For a trade to happen, Kobe must veto his no-trade clause. Kobe isn't in a hurry to get out of L.A.
