"First, Bryant said on 1050 ESPN Radio in New York: "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.

yeah, he "stayed" only reason the trade didn't happen is because Krause wouldn't include Deng in the deal to the Lakers. #facts

And he still didnt leave. What a legend. As a bron fan and kobe hater, i must say im jealous that he never left like my gay ass favorite player did

[dubeta]

No colluding.

lets be honest. kobe uses trade demands as a smoke screen to get the owners to make moves


he threatened to leave for chicago or the clippers to get rid of shaq

then he threatened to want a trade and quickly backed off it when they got fisher back and traded for gasol


if a guy truly wants out he'd have left regardless of the lakers decisions in spite of his demands

[r15mohd]

It's called lighting a fire under management's ass.

Don't be daft.

lighting a fire to which the Bulls made the ultimate decision for Kobe to remain in LAL, and not LAL mgmt

[kennethgriffin]

Nice one

17 year old rookie 13th pick bench player kobe bryant = responsible for bringing shaq to LA?

Don't be daft.

And being the LA Lakers, they can do shit about it.

wrong


the lakers traded kobe to detroit. kobe nixed the deal


and the pistons had a waaaaaay better roster to fit around kobe in 2007. even with the players going back in return

see above kenny...smoke screen was decided by the Bulls, not LAL or Kobe in going to Chicago. it was a done deal until Deng was pulled from the discussion by Krause.

I honestly hope both the cavs and lakers are terrible for the next 10 years.

did you not read the link? lol and you call youself a Kobe stan, and don't even know the mans past! what a shame!!!

Where did Bryant want to go in trade?

"Chicago was my No. 1 choice," said Bryant on Sunday, via "Grantland Basketball Hour."

The All-Star guard also confirmed he scuttled a trade the Lakers proposed that would have sent him to the Detroit Pistons.

"That is true," said Bryant, who said the potential deal included Richard "Rip" Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and draft picks.

"I gave you a list of teams I'm comfortable being traded to," recalled Bryant. "Not Detroit."

Most NBA seasons with one NBA team.

No colluding.

No running.

No cowering.

Walton, Kwame, Smush, Sasha, Cook, Mbenga, etc, etc, etc...stayed.

Tom Brady. Magic. Bird. Russell. Cal Ripken. Barry Sanders. Walter Payton. Jim Brown. Etc. Alpha shit.

First of all, props to Kobe. Even though he has been injured the last two seasons, he's what one of 3 players with this kind of longevity? Mamba breaking records just dressing up.


Secondly, Kobe got to play with prime/peak Shaq from his rookie season. He barely had a garbage team for 2 seasons. Even then he threatened to leave. LeBron was drafted by a shit team and played there for his first 7 season. You think LeBron would leave if he got to play with a top 5 GOAT from his rookie season and won 3 rings before he turned 25?

The fact ..he didn't leave?

Kobe fainting walking away from the Lakers doesn't equate to leaving dumbass.
