Big shock.



Kobe can't get along with a star big man that many would say is the better player at this point.



The only star he has ever got along with (but complains about to the media) is the quiet, underrated Gasol.
And he repeatedly and publically dumped on Gasol often enough.

Yeah.  It's not like he hasn't taken shots Gasol just won't fire back.


That's what passes for "getting along" in Kobe's world.

As much as I like to see the Lakers losing and struggling, I'm a bit averse at seeing them in the lottery. That could re-energize the franchise in a big way next season.

I'd rather they sneak in to the playoffs and get embarrassed there.

I don't mind.  I am hoping to see Kobe spend the rest of his career in NBA no-mans land.  The 9th seed in the West.

Can't say it's much of a surprise that Kobe and Dwight don't get along all that well.  Their personalities and approaches to the game couldn't be any more different.

Bogus rumor reported by a Brooklyn beat guy. Sour grapes much?

Ahhhh...what you call sour grapes some call whine.

Me, I like to think of it as a wine of a different kind because it temps my Laker hating pallet just like the finest wine could.

I think the bogus rumor is it being called a bogus rumor...you actually fell for that?

Story's already been debunked. It was a verbal argument that's already over.

Yup. Just another media debacle being taken out of proportion.

I am starting to get excited about the idea (that I made up) of the Lakers deciding to go all in with Howard, and trading Kobe to Brooklyn, where he can reunite with Phil.

Kobe and MWP for Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace....  Does this make the Lakers a better or worse team?

The thing (that I hate) is if Dwight wants to leave and sign elsewhere, he will be going to an absolute skeleton of a team.  I unfortunately doubt he does it...
