I'm no basketball expert, but Day 1 of GM school - Class- Trades 101 - don't they say? Don't trade a star player within your division! Why would we want to go up against Kobe 2x a year and then see him in the seedings. Send him to the East coast.. At least the Chicago trades sound more feasible. I don't think he's going anywhere, unless by some miracle...Miami wants to swap D-Wade for Kobes...since Shaq & Kobe have bonded in their unity to hate Dr. Buss for being such a meanie!!!! WAH Wouldn't that be the ultimate slap in the Lakers organization if Kobe went and played harmoniously with Shaq...Coached by Riley...and Smush was part of the victory and Payton stayed one more year and got another ring.... Then to top it all off....Kobe holds a press conference after they win their championship saying "This is Shaq's team, we just want to win and when Shaq retires in a couple years, then it will be time for it to become MY team....but until that time....Shaq is the man!"" Thank you ladies and gentleman..there will be refreshments in the lobby! Someone stop the world and let me off!

There is something about that one minute Q & A with Kobe after practice yesterday.

Did you notice how clench his jaw was, when he was chewing his gum?

He seemed mad...but I'm not going to share it with you jokers!

I heard on the air. I.Lo said he saw Jim Buss and Kobe's agent in the parking

lot. So, if Kobe's at practice, why not practice if he's not hurt? And is it

normal that his agent goes to practice? I think Kobe wants out and Dr. Buss

is like, " Yeah, when I get the exact value for you, you can leave...but you ain't

gonna strong arm little guy" I'm the big cheese around here. You can sit and whine

and leave in 2 years, but your not going pressure me"  At least that's how I

think he would talk. Don't get me wrong. I love Kobe the ballplayer! Kobe the child-man

has a MAJOR entitlement problem.  Could you imagine if we could act like this at our jobs

and get away with? Wouldn't that be cool?

So, enjoy Kobe this season, cause he's not going anywhere....sorry Kobes! 

    

This is my team and unfortunately we didn't see the real Phillies step-up tonight.

I think they were a bit jittery. We look for revenge in Game #2.

Suck it Rockies!
