[ESPN] Kobe: I want Jerry West back or I want a trade

LOL! Karma is a b****, ain't it?

Anyways, I think Kobe more or less learned his lesson in these few years being "the man" on the Lakers. If nothing else, the whole league got to see that as great as Kobe is (and he's one of the best guards ever, hype or not) he can't even get out of the first round let alone be a true contender.

If nothing else, Kobe is humbled now. Of course, I also think he shouldn't b**** and moan his way with the Lakers after the organization bent over backwards to give him everything he wanted, including getting rid of the great PJax and the great Shaquille O'Neal where it would become "his team".

 

LOL, Kobe the GM is whining now! When T-mac was with the Magic and cried for help what were those Kobe lovers said? Kobe is so great that he shouldnt complain about the organization, after Kobe is the GM of the lakers!

 

Or Maybe Kobe for Rafer + JHo+ sura+ Battier... The team is going to be seriously over the cap. But is Les hungry enough?

 

Wow these hostage demands by Kobe never stop.

I have a feeling Lakers going to get robed in a Kobe trade like they did with Shaq for Odom. Kobe finally realizes that he is no Jordan and his **** ain't the bomb so he needs help. Too bad Lakers screwed up big time by committing salary cap suicide with chumps like Kwame.

 

I can think of five reasons you can't blame Kobe Bryant for breaking up the Lakers dynasty.

 

He's welcome here in Houston. We have a spot off the bench for him

 

Actually Kobe for t-mac would be a pretty even trade. Im sure we would have to take vald rad with kobe since phil hates vlad, so we would have to eat that contract, we would also have to give our first round pick this year and next year. We might be able to give them jho, his contract is not great either but it has less years left the vlad rads contract. Call me crazy but I think morey may be on the phone with the lakers right now seeing what they would want. Lord knows les would love that trade. Do you have any idea how much his much his franchise vaule would go up with Kobe and Yao on the same team?

 

Kobe + Yao = 4 hour erection

 

I hate Kobe, but the hilarious thing is that Yao is probably one of the only "superstar" level players that would fit well with Kobe. He would not complain about not getting enough shots, and would defer to Kobe whenever Kobe wanted. But at the same time, Yao would probably play smart and feed off Kobe's creation skills rather well.

Too bad Kobe is a assbutt.

 

Kobe needs to shut his pie hole.

Odom(.468), Walton(.474), Kwame(.591), Bynum(.558), & Turiaf(.549) all have a higher shooting percentage than Kobe(.463). And yet, Kobe has over 1,000 more shots on goal compared to them. In fact, he has more shots on goal than Odom, Walton, Kwame, & Turiaf combined (1748 vs. 1757).

Kobe (1,757 FGA) (77 games)
Odom (681 FGA) (56 games)
Walton (557 FGA) (60 games)
Kwame (242 FGA) (41 games)
Bynum (443 FGA) (82 games)
Turiaf (268 FGA) (72 games)

In fact, the second highest attempts for the season were by Smush Parker(.436) (785 FGA) (82 games), of all people. Now, while Kobe might have a gripe about all the injuries, he might want to consider spreading the rock around a little more. Especially, to the players that are shooting better than him.

As the SuperStar, he's got a responsibility to make the rest of his teammates look better. However, if the players on his team are making him nauseous, I'd be glad to take Kwame, Odom, & Walton off his hands.

 

Kobe is not making his teammates better -- there is potential there. Jordan would have taken this Lakers team to the conference finals at a minimum. The main reason being there wouldn't have been that crazy end off the season slump to drop them down to the 7 spot. Jordan would have willed them up to the 4 or 5 for a better match up.



I'm not talking about Jordan in his prime either -- i'm talking about Jordan 2007.

 

man, i knew the reason the lakers weren't any good was that kwame brown just wasn't taking enough shots. with his field goal percentage, i don't understand why anyone else on the team even took a shot. run the old hakeem offense, but with kwame in the center.

 

kobe is smart, he is not going to demand a trade to a west team with Oden and Durant coming in.

 

LOL. Kobe thinks he's the boss, or maybe GOD. He fired Shaq, he fired Phil (well he came back later that's another story), and now he wants to fire Lakers GM! I guess some day he will try to fire Jerry Buss, and David Stern as well. He wants to be the MAN, LOL....

I always knew history was important in school

 

I bet they wish they had Caron Butler back.

 

So what? They still will not have orgasm. It's even painful to erect so long time w/o a final release.

 

One more great thing about this incident? Even if West comes to LA, I doubt they'll be able to make any major moves this summer. Unless they trade the 4 other starters away, Kobe will be looking at a very angry locker room next season. Terrell Owens would be proud.

 

That's not what I said. I said that Kobe needs to include the other players in the flow of the offense & not be a ball hog. At this point, the only real difference between Kobe & Francis, is size, defense, & turnovers. Other than that, Kobe wants to be a one man show just like Francis. The stats prove that point.

 

Tmac for Kobe, make it happen les, or morey, whatever.
