Deal with it.
Kobe changed his mind about a few hours after his initial trade demands when he went on the Dan Patrick show. This very board has that trade thread on it, and you can see the whole day right there in front of you. In the morning with Steven A he was pissed and said he wanted out. Later on in the day DP had him on (after he had talked to Phil) and he said "I don't want to go anyplace else. I don't want to. I want to be a Laker. I want to be here for the rest of my career."
The dude was pissed about losing in the first round, he vented, Phil chilled him out a little, and he went on about his business. The Gasol trade happened NINE MONTHS later. 9.
at only stayed after a one sided trade. You bout the saddest hater I have seen on this board, and that is sayin something. The LA Lakers got you furious with life bein the most succesful franchise the past dozen years or so, you can't even think straight no more. Can't get facts right, can't do @#$% but defend your boy.Ain't even got a team, last year it was all about Cleveland, and now you a Miami "fan". All in the name of Laker hate.Out there in the world defendin hairlines, and bringin up 2002 and whatever else you can think of just to hate on the Lakers and their rabid fans. You need to let that @#$% go. Bron is about to do something he's never done, you about to be able to be truly happy for a change, you gon get a taste of what it is to have your fav player be a champ, and you still sad and salty about the dude that's been runnin things for a decade. Just move on. I already told you what'll be comin pretty soon, you should be focusin on that essay.
You can argue the Gasol deal forever, everybody sees it differently, but the trade demand was done and over with quickly. Laker management did the smart thing and looked into any deals that would benefit the team, they didn't find anything they liked, they kept the team as it was, and they improved. ALOT. Bynum got better, Fisher came back, Ariza made a difference, Odom was doin ok, the bench was growing (Farmar and Sasha) and they were right in the hunt when Bynum got hurt. 2 days later, a trade was made. Kobe had been playin ball for 4 months. And playin just as well as always. Getting Gasol was certainly a blessing for the Lakers and Kobe, but you actin like that's why he stayed with the team is ******ed. And he wasn't lookin to join other superstars, in fact the team he was most likely lookin towards was the Bulls, and they wouldn't have had anything more than Loul Deng there waiting for him. He wasn't lookin to take the easy way out. He simply looked at a change of scenery as a chance to have ownership go out and get him the help to win again. Luckily, Lakers management got off their @#$ and made a move, and not a knee jerk reaction move which is what it would have been in moving Kobe.
But yeah, he was only happy 9 months later. Keep on thinkin that.
DAMN
Way to put him in his place. This dude Xtapolapacetl has Lebrons meat so far down his throat he the @!$! he says makes no damn sense.
The funny part is he think everything he says is true.
Dude spends like 10 hours a day on NT looking for anyone whose said anything bad about Lebron, he even defends his hair line
I thought the bolded was 85% of NT n
