I personally cant stand Kobe... unless he's playing for the Sixers.

I can't see him going anywhere except to a contender...I wonder if this has to do with the Jerry West thing?

The sixers could be a contender. Dont they have 3 first round draft picks? If you add Kobe, you get a contender in Philly.

We live in a world where OJ Simpson is out shooting golf every weekend. Why cant Kobe choose where he plays after catching a simple sodomy and rape charge

This guy is an idiot. No one should take him. Arrogant prick.

He is just an arrogant prick. He seems to be a prima donna. I just don't like him.

I am cranky today aren't I?

Seriously, I admit I don't know everything about basketball, but from the things I hear (since I do have a hubby who makes me watch ESPN) I just gather that he isn't someone worth liking. Yes, he can play basketball, but that doesn't mean he is a good person.

Heh. He's not going anywhere. Mitch Cupcake is done.

I went up to his penthouse suite. [Buss] looks me dead in the face and says: 'Kobe, I am not going to re-sign Shaq. I am not about to pay him $30 million a year or $80 million over three years. No way in hell. I feel like he's getting older. His body is breaking down, and I don't want to pay that money to him when I can get value for him right now rather than wait.

"This is my decision. It's independent of you. My mind is made up. It doesn't matter to me what you do in free agency because I do not want to pay [Shaq], period.'"

"Dr. Buss said that," Bryant told Smith. "And I haven't said anything for years because I've always felt like folks were just looking to create controversy. Now I know. I realize what extent [the Lakers] will go to, to cover themselves."

Reached afterward, O'Neal told Smith that he believed his former teammate to be beyond reproach.

"I believe Kobe 100 percent," O'Neal said when reached in Los Angeles. "Absolutely. There's no doubt in my mind Kobe is telling the truth. I believe him a thousand percent.

"I would have respected Dr. Buss more as a man if he would have told me that himself, because I know he said it. But he didn't [tell me]. He never said a damn word to me."

Wow. Kobe has been blamed for Shaq's departure and now this is revealed? This is going to be very interesting in the coming days.
