just listened to kobe talking to dan patrick on the way home, and then reggier miller talking about the same thing.
at the very beginning of the interview, kobe said absolutely he wanted out--and they say women are emotional
...he is talking from a good amount of pain i'd imagine, he feels betrayed at the very least. said he talked to phil twice--and the kobe at the end of the interview didn't sound at all like the kobe from the beginning.
i sense no trade.
miller said no way the lakers trade him, they'd be crazy to do it. i agree.
and this has nothing whatsoever to do with liking anyone. it's a basketball team, and kobe is the best player playing. the lakers are trying to rebuild, who better to build around?
when dan asked him what would he do if they don't trade, he said he'd play. certainly a refreshing change from some REAL prima donnas, who threaten to sit if they don't get their trade.
kobe wants to finish out as a laker. he admitted he had no team that he wanted to go to. says he knows who the 'insider' is....
reggie said (and i agree) that this insider BS is just that (that isn't an exact quote)..said that if someone wants something out there, they should have the cajones to give out their identity. he's right.
