"I would like to be traded, yeah. Tough as it is to come to that conclusion there's no other alternative, you know?
Stephen A. Smith: "Is there ANYTHING the Los Angeles Lakers can do to get you to remain with the organization?"
Kobe: "No, bro."
A Lakers insider accused Kobe to be the responsible of the Shaq-Lakers split. Kobe was particularly frustrated when he found that.
Kobe: "I saw an article this AM in the LA Times which said a Lakers' insider noted that my wanting to get away from Shaq is what created this whole mess the Laker's currently find themselves in. Man, hearing something like that, which is not true, and which comes from the inside is totally frustrating. It's NOT true."
Even Shaq told publicly earlier today he believed Kobe 100%.
So is this the real end of Kobe era in L.A. It seems to. BUT at the same time, Kobe went on another radio show and says he would welcome a trade but he's always wanted to retire as a Laker. If Jerry West comes back, or if L.A organisation brings O'Neal or Garnett in town, there's truly a chance he'll stay.
The big story right now is no longer about the playoffs, but about the greatest player of tha game.
