With the line up Lakers will have next season after they trade shaq to maimi, i even doubt they will make it to the playoffs. Right, playoffs!!! . Kobe is sure the best thing after Jordan and his skills and potential are parallel to none. But one should not forget that he was a total flop in the biggest stage. And has any player in the history of any team sports have had so much influence on the team and organization itself than kobe? Just look at this list........ He doesnt like the most sucessfull coach.......the team puts him away. He doesnt want to play along with the Most Dominant......he gets traded(almost certian). He wants coach of his choice.....Lakers put $40 mil on the table to lure coach K. He even wants Clippers to play some 10-14 games on Anahiem even before he considers to sign with them........Reports are Clippers agree. What else??? Thats ridiculous. I am just waiting to see how he's gonna perform when arrangements are made to play the way he wanted on HIS TEAM.
