First it was Jerry Buss's other son posting his "goodbye Kobe" bulletin on Myspace in the summer. Then it was Buss said they'll listen to offers and "you can never keep too many loyalties". Then it was Phil with his 'I don't think he's committed' comment. Now Magic dissing him AGAIN.
Wrong time to be talking down on a man who already wants out.

What the fuck you want them to do? Kiss his ass? Fuck that! Kobe acts like a fuckin' woman.

I didn't say kiss his ass, I'm sayin they all need to stop adding fuel to the fire. Buss's comments were unnecessary. Phil's comments were unnecessary, although I appreciate Jeanie Buss's comments - they were unnecessary, and Magic's Kobe massacre last night was damn sure unnecessary. They all need to shut the fuck up and handle this away from the cameras and microphones.

All of this shit wouldn't be happening if Kobe would have voiced his displeasure behind close doors.

"I couldn't call Jerry Buss, I don't have his cell number" - Kobe
Looks like he didn't have that option. And even when they were talking behind closed doors he was just lied to. Face it: Buss lied to him to get him to re-sign, then put his son in charge of the team. So the whole time Kobe's been in his prime, Jerry has been building this team around Bynum rather than Kobe. Now you have the best player in the NBA on a team full of scrubs who still haven't figured out that the round bouncy thing is supposed to go into the circled hole with the nut hanging from it.

Fuck you guys being so extreme!
The truth is in the middle, imho. I mean Kobe was part of the reasons why one of the greatest teams ever was been destroyed. Now i don't care if it was 51% Shaq's fault and 49% Kobe's fault, or viceversa. But Kobe didn't do shit to make peace with that other moron, that's a fact. He took it personal. Maybe he had good reasons to do it, but he somehow damaged the Lakers. And i think it's the thing Magic Johnson himself said on tv lately. Kobe should have accepted the fact Shaq was the boss of that team and continue to play for the Lakers no matter what, without optiong-out and without going on a personal war with Shaq. It doesn't matter if he was right. The Lakers from that moment traded Shaq, they resigned Kobe with a contract extension, they didn't resign Phil (Phil wanted 10 millions to coach the Shaq-less Lakers), they contacted all the coaches Kobe liked (Coach K. being the n.1, til' coach Rudy T.), they built the new team around Kobe, they were forced to sign Phil Jackson to 10 millions because the Shaq-less team was so embarassing it was necessary to sign Phil, no matter what the cost was. Not to mention what this organization did to Kobe while Kobe was having problems with the law. The Lakers did a lot for Kobe. They probably promised him to build a contender team, but fuck it: Kobe was about to sign with the CLIPPERS!! THE FUCKING CLIPPERS!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!????
So, i'm being neutral in this shit. Mitch did some mistakes refusing to make trades. Kobe did some mistakes disrespecting the organization (the same way Shaq did). And now they probably are in a situation where they took things personal. It happens. And the Lakers prefeer to keep Bynum instead than trading him to make Kobe happy. They're chosing Bynum over Kobe, basically. I don't know. I don't predict the future.
The only thing i can say for sure is i know Kobe is a mutherfucking winner, so i ain't worried about his approach to the game: he'll continue to be the best player in the world no matter what. AND I'LL CONTINUE TO BE A LAKER FAN NO MATTER WHAT. We will see.
