Kobe's I want to be traded spiel on his site is now down.
I wonder what his agent is thinking... He cant be telling Kobe to pull all this crap. I wonder how much of this we would hear if LA could get themselves into the East. There is just no way for the Lakers in the West right now. Patience is apparently not the operative thought in LA.

You are obviously thinking a lot about this Mr. King. Much more than I am. But I think Mr. Cannon is right. Kwame is lame, physically and mentally. And Odom is so inconsistent and injury prone. That group gets destroyed in the West. With Portland and Seattle getting the draft picks they got... Dallas, Phoenix, Utah, San Antonio, Houston... holy schmokes its tough. Sometimes you have to just sit back and let events take place. Injuries occur, changes are made by others that allow for opportunity. The Lakers are in a tough spot at the moment. Phil and Buss realize this I believe. Kobe is on oscillation mode.
