I wanna leave…I don’t wanna leave. I wanna bang Colorado concierges….I wanna bang my wife? Figure it out, playa?!
Kobe needs his meds again. That much is certain. I do understand that he wants to win a championship and its admirable for him to strive, claw, and beg for it. But his approach is still ALL Kobe. Rather than enabling the Lakers to attempt to make ”non-desperate”, trade attractive moves this off-season, he is showing the Laker whole cards and the league has gotta be lovin’ it.
This morning on 1050 EPSN Radio NY, Kobe had this to say about the speculation on his coming/going:
“I would like to be traded, yeah. Tough as it is to come to that conclusion there’s no other alternative, you know?”
Bryant, interviewed by Stephen A. Smith, was asked if there was anything the Lakers could do to change his mind.
“No,” Bryant said. “I just want them to do the right thing.”
Asked if he had any preference for a trade destination, he said “At this point I’ll go play on Pluto.”
He later recanted, slightly. Bryant talked to Dan Patrick on ESPN Radio,
“I’m so tired of talking,” Bryant said. “It’s tough. I always dreamed about retiring as a Laker. I just hope and hope that something can be resolved. Something can be figured out. Just something so I can stay here and be in this city and be with the team I love.” [SOURCE]
Kobe’s recent public swaying on being traded, in addition to his boisterous ambitions to have Jerry West return to the Lakers front office, have the ”hardest of core” Laker fans sick.
Kobe, go to Maui with your “everything” and let the Lakers go after the Kevin Garnett’s and Jermaine O’Neal’s this off season with enough ammunition to bring it home, baby! Or drop a couple of Lexapro and just chill…
