Kobe speaks on no-trade clause

Why doesn’t he waive it? This is a question asked by people who say if he IS going to be traded, he should waive it. Either way, Kobe spoke out on the matter:

Dallas News: But Bryant wants to make it clear that he will not waive his no-trade clause to facilitate a deal.

“As a player, if you have the opportunity to get the no-trade or have the upper hand in negotiations, then you do it,” Bryant said. “It’s a smart thing to do.

“When I hear people say ‘he should waive his no-trade clause,’ they must be just absolute, terrible businessmen. It makes no sense.”

    I get that he wants to stick it to the Lakers by getting what he wants while they get nothing but what about THE FANS!?
    The same people that chant his name and chant MVP every time he goes to the line. He knows the whole building isn’t gonna follow him. We’ve been good fans! We deserve at least a shot at SOME decent talent in a trade if he wants one that badly.

    If he won’t waive the clause then he must not want out that badly right?

    Kobe is talking thru both sides of his mouth. He wants out and he has made it very clear, yet won’t approve of any fair trade the lakers would work with Chicago that would include Deng. Therefore the lakers won’t trade Kobe which is the thing he wants. So, around and around we go where we stop nobody knows. We will just keep you kobe and use the cap space in two yrs. Sometimes when people have and use too much power, it bites them in the arse. Like Shaq said to you Kobe, be careful what you ask for.

    yeah i think so
    maybe he doesnt want to leave at all, because when he turned down the gordon and deng deal, chicago would still have ben wallace, hinrich, tyrus thomas, etc… the bulls wouldnt be so bad , i still say that kobe will be a laker 4 life…
