But I'm just wondering why you or anyone else thinks that he would do something so stupid. Not to trade Kobe. He said he wouldn't do that on the radio already and I don't think he's so savvy as to be playing the Lakers fans one way and Kobe the other. He seems pretty straight ahead. Almost to a fault perhaps. If he wanted Kobe gone I believe he would just do so. I think Kobe might be thinking as you are but I just don't get why. Can you explain? Or anyone else explain it to me and how this fits their supposed "MASTER PLAN" for the long term? It would be economic suicide to lose Kobe at this juncture. Dan Patrick also intimated that he knew who the insider was, but what the hell? I don't think anyone but Mark Heisler really knows. Right? HZM -

When I said Kobe was mostly right, I mean that the Lakers have played it too conservative and have generally mad atrocious moves over the past three years. The blame comes down to Mitch and Jim because they are in charge of personnel. But for Kobe to say it's not incompetence but that they have some master long term plan that he's not privvy to is just utter and complete paranoia and not justifiable in any shape or form. That's giving these knuckleheads WAY too much credit. I can't stand Mitch. One of the worst public speakers I've ever heard or seen. Nobody likes his robo GM approach. He's lousy. And Jim's decisions other than getting Bynum have been crappy as well. Remember Rudy T? Oh boy. But don't tell me that it was all for some long term plan. No. It's just been terrible decision making on the whole. Bad drafting - Cook, Sasha. Bad free agent signings - Vlade, McKie, Williams, Vlade. Bad extensions leading to no cap room - Cook, Sasha, Krummy Brown. Only good moves were Bynum, Turiaf, Farmar (who fell into their laps) and getting Evans. At least Kupchak is starting to draft better I guess. The problem is not some long term plan. It's that other than hoping a big name guy comes along for the Bynum trade (we will breathe a sigh of relief if they can pull of this trade for JO), they don't even have a plan.

He has WAAAAAY too much to lose by stating something stupid like that. Unless he is that stupid which is pretty hard to believe. What is everyone basing this asssumption on? He was on the radio just a week or two saying he would never trade Kobe. First off, Kobe's mostly right, but he's also wrong in some things. Whining about the Lakers lying to him regarding whether they are on a long term mission or short term is ridiculous. Does anyone really buy that the Lakers aren't trying to get better. I do believe that Kobe and Phil both got on the phone with Radmanovich this summer to convince him to become a Laker. So they are to blame for that bad signing as much as anyone in the FO. Second, Kobe finding out that management told Phil they were on a long term plan in his '04 exit meeting while telling Kobe they would try to build a winner right away is not such a big deal and does not equate to some kind of conspiracy. They were through with Phil and told him something about a direction that did not include him to discourage him. They told Kobe what they really believed and hoped, that they would be back in contention soon. It's just that they made bad moves. Kobe's on some paranoid rant right now about "trust." F - it. I like when he said "show me." Well, in order for the Lakers to show you, Kobe, just keep cool and let's bring in JO for you! That should go quite some way. You guys are putting words into Jim Buss's mouth about Bynum. He said on the radio that he would be willing to trade BYNUM FOR A SUPERSTAR ala Kevin Garnett (Or JO!!). How do you figure that he's trying to sabotage his own game plan for the summer? That's insane. He was out of town this weekend. A Laker "Insider" could mean anyone. It doesn't have to mean the damn owner, heir apparent or the GM!! It could have been the damn ball boy for all anyone knows. Kobe's totally paranoid. He said he knew who the insider was and then later contradicted himself saying he had a suspicion but didn't want to say or confront the person in case he was WRONG. Admission - he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Why did he just assume that it was someone in charge of the Lakers organization? Me thinks he wanted to do to get even more upset. He was already spinning out of control in frustration and no one in the org was calling him to chill out because Buss was off getting drunk on a holiday weekend and the other two thirds of the three headed beast were out of town.
