kobe will be traded for sure. he wants to get out from LA. he cant win over there coz lakers dont have good players to build the team around him. nobodys gonna take odam and brown. and even if some team takes them they wont get any better player than those two guys. so no use of staying in LA for kobe. instead if he goes to some good team, he has chance to win one more championship without shaq. thats why he will go to some other team.
