The FO said long before Kobe started bitching that PG was the top priority in the offseason.
I honestly think we wouldn't have signed Fisher and drafted Crittenton if Kobe wasn't taking a stand...Kobe played his last 3 seasons with Chucky Atkins and Smush Parker as the starting point guards...some of the worst in the business. It's no coincidence that the FO started addressing the PG issues and made a major push at Garnett as soon as Kobe spoke up...PeACe

Kobe simply asked to be traded, he didn't suggest names and shit.

Derek Fisher is scheduled to clear waivers Thursday at 3 p.m., meaning the Lakers can sign him at 3:01 p.m. if no other team claims him.Fisher agreed in principle last week to return to the Lakers on a three-year contract worth about $14 million.Fisher could be claimed by another team willing to award him the three years and almost $21 million left on his contract when Utah agreed to release him earlier this month, although that is considered a slim possibility.
