Kobe Wants out of LA

According to ESPN, Kobe Bryant wants out of Los Angeles and so far we don't know how serious his threats are.

Kobe is very upset with management, thinking that they aren't doing enough to win NOW. A lot of people think he's selfish but really, I think the man just wants to win. Yes he makes like a gazillion dollars but he is arguably the best player in the NBA and the Lakers would be bottom feeders without Kobe.

The biggest question is, who would take him? Kobe has a very high priced salary, and not a lot of teams can a) Afford him with their cap space b) have the resources to get him or c) even want him at all. The price for someone of Kobe's caliber is exceptionally high, a lot of teams simply won't part with their young stars for a guy like Kobe no matter how good he is.

So where could he end up? I think the best chance would be a place like Chicago or perhaps Boston... both has enough to pull the trigger if need be.

Still, when the dust settles I think Kobe will end up staying... still, we know how more often than not when a player isn't happy he usually gets his wish. Lets see if Kobe gets his.

Until next time
