F*ck all these rumors, I had a goddamn headache all day because of the stress. And damn Lang. I have checked Slamonline every 15-30 mins checking for a big picture with Kobe in a Bulls jersey and a “Kobe Jordan” headline or something.

Chukaz says:
Yo, f*ck the Bulls and f*ck Buss. Buss is f*ckin’ stupid for wanting to trade Kobe instead of building a f*ckin’ basketball team around him, and the Bulls are f*ckin’ stupid for saying no to a Kobe trade. Are they out of their f*ckin’ minds? Buss is a f*ckin’ drunk and Paxon is smokin’ some weird sh*t, no other way to explain both of these peoples lack of f*ckin’ brains.

I’m so happy for that. personally, I think that he would be a huge dissapointment if he would have went with the Bulls.

Chukaz says:
Dude, I should’ve said individuals (I hope thats the way to spell it) or just leave it like that ’cause I’m f*ckin’ awesome, and I’m f*ckin’ back.

1. Paxson’s quote doesn’t mean a thing, other than trying to settle his own team down.
2. The Lakers are better off telling Kobe he is staying and then using the salary cap room if he leaves in 2 years, which coincides with Lamar’s salary coming off the books.
3. At that time, no contending teams will have cap room to sign Kobe, and he aint gonna sign for the mid-level somewhere.
4. Assuming Buss aint blowing a .29 right now, the Lakers will gut whatever team he goes to. In which case, he is better off staying with the Lakers, and seeing how Bynum and Farmar develop.
5. Or the Lakers could still trade Lamar and Kwame for someone like JO.

b4hoops says:
Ok, so Kobe isn’t going to the Bulls just now, but obviously the Lakers are listening. How long before another team makes an offer that the Lakers can’t refuse? Sure, there are 3 key parties that can say “no” to any deal, making a trade tough, but the trade talks aren’t done. And, as much as we’d like it not to happen as Lakers fans, unless Lakers management, or Kobe, has a change of heart, this whole season will be one big off-court distraction.

Captain America says:
They should have stopped the bleeding before the first game yesterday. No body is going to make a major change like this at the beginning of a season, get real.

bootlace says:
Why do LA fans want Kobe to stay, isnt it obvious by now you’re not going to win a championship with him? It’s these type of fans that prevent Buss from WANTING to trade Kobe, because you will still fill up seats despite no hopes at a champ’ship. Time to destroy and rebuild.

Nov.1 at 10:09 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Jerry Buss needs to put the Playmates and the pints aside long enough to say “We’re not trading Kobe anywhere. If he wants to join a different team, he’s welcome to opt out of his contract if the summer of 2009. Until then, he will be a Los Angeles Laker, and we expect him to act like one.” Be the boss, Buss.

Nov.1 at 10:34 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Or even “in the summer of 2009.” Although I guess he might say “if” if he’s hammered.

that’s ma man, that’s what am always wanna bring out CHUKAZ…ma man

Nov.1 at 11:27 pm

Zach says:
The Bulls are going to wait until Dec. 15th to include Nocioni in any three way trades. His new contract can be used only after this date to make this thing happen. That is if Kobe is still in L.A.

Kobe isn’t going any where! Not the Bulls! Not the Kings! Darn right not the Suns! Kobe wants to stay in l.a. in my opinion. According to the announcers Kobe is going to the Bulls for Luoul Deng but Kobe dosn’t want to go to the Bulls with out Luoul Deng (According to announcers). So there thinking about trading him for Ben Wallace. The Kings might trade him for Ron Artest you know the routine according to the announcers. And the deal with the Suns is Shawn Marion wants out of Phonoiex. Now I belive that.

jbn74sb You are speaking gospel truth. I 100% agree and am happy to see there are some folks who are not blinded buy KOBE love or hate to see the truth.I’m remaining objective about all the news.KOBE is the man,And he is staying in L.A.

On second thought, the Bulls should trade everyone.
