Kobe staightened that out:
All I can do is offer my thoughts. I love being a Laker. I want to retire a Laker.
Yup, he cleared that one but he specifically said that he wants the management to have some direction. I think if the Laker managemnt refuses to be aggressive in their player aquisition, I think he may shift to another team.
It's now or never for Kobe.
That's why he can pretty much say or have the say with regards to Team Lakers. ASTIG!
Dapat kasi magpalit na sila ng point guard eh. Tapos pati center nila lelembot lembot. Si Bynum naman is a project and a good 4 years in the making pa pero may potential to be a great center. Kobe needs the title now after the post Shaq era.
mukang astig nga tingnan pero yung perception nila kay kobe is very different based sa opinions ng sports writers as compared to who else....jordan
one writer compared the jordan rules and kobe rules......
basically jordan gets what he wants to the benefit his the team....while kobe likes to do things to glorify himself (e.g. influencing the trade to move shaq out) etc.....
well, i am a confessed kobe hater so naniniwala ako hehehe. but i admit he is a good player mejo iba lang attitude.
He wants management to be aggressive in player acquisitions but he's also the one who got the Lakers to get rid of Shaquille. He's one selfish a-hole.
The clause actually works to Kobe's favor as he can veto any trade he does not like.
But he can also waive the clause and let the trade kicker work and get additional $9million dollars per year from team that gets him.
I think Kobe's just venting frustration and forcing the management to make the moves to improve the team.
LA has some decent trade pieces other than Kobe. they would have had Jason Kidd a few months ago if they hadn't declared Andrew Bynum untouchable.
the one thing i agree with Kobe on is to get rid of Mitch Kupchak ASAP.
