I know i gave you a dominant Big Man in Shaq and alot of quality players who would help you develop. Now in your later years I promised you I would build this team as a contender and i broke my promise. I hope you can forgive me and stay with the lakers. I am sorry I drafted Bynum and I am sorry I didn't "ship his ass out" as you wanted. I am sorry we drafted other players like Farmar, turiaf, sasha, and Critt. Do you want me to ship their ass out too??? I am sorry we traded for Ariza. Oh i don't know... Did you like that trade? Do I need to pay you more money??? 20 million not enough??? 30 million??? You name it i will pay it. If their is any trade you want me to do to make it up to you i will do it. Bynum out??? you got it... Farmar ... not worth it??? outta here??? YOu want any of my young girls??? you can have your pick of the litter??? Let me know if this apology is enough. I think this apology will do it. Kobe will rescind his trade demand. Hooray!!!!!

This is the same thing he has been saying all along. he wants to be a bull!!! he loves the players the lakers have but the FO has screwed him one to many times. 18 months will come quickly if we dont win a title. I think a title or a public apology from buss is the only thing that keeps kb a laker after 18 months!!!

Buss’s apology:

Dear Kobe,

I am sorry I have not built a contender for you like i did when you first came into the league. I know i gave you a dominant Big Man in Shaq and alot of quality players who would help you develop. Now in your later years I promised you I would build this team as a contender and i broke my promise. I hope you can forgive me and stay with the lakers. I am sorry I drafted Bynum and I am sorry I didn’t “ship his ass out” as you wanted. I am sorry we drafted other players like Farmar, turiaf, sasha, and Critt.

If that trade was completed with KG's trade kickers he would have had to pay several million dollars more because of the luxury tax. So that is not a fair assessment of Buss. Does he like young girls??? yes ... i don't think he goes for underage hookers, why would he the young girls go for him and he would be risking alot. Other than drinking while driving Buss is not stupid and doesn't want to risk his franchise. Just because kobe hates Buss with a passion doesn't mean lakernation needs to hate on Buss. Lets just be thankful that he didn't insist on trading Bynum for Kidd. Most of us would be trashing him much more than when he resisted kobe's trading advice.

The only reason they stuck by him bc he makes them a lot of money more than the 20 million they give him. do you think they would send kwame the private jet? NO!!! why? because kwame doesn't make buss s.h.i.t. so don't make it sound like buss cares about anything other than making money... well other than underage hookers ofcourse.

The FO screwed him???? Hmmm, I don’t know how paying him almost $20M per year and sticking by him during his Colorado rape trial (ya know providing a private jet so he can fly back and forth) is how the FO supposedly screwed him. Also, I guess trading away the most dominant center in the league at that time and handing the Laker franchise to Kobe on a silver platter is screwing him too.

You have a selective memory. Don’t forget Kobe screwed the Lakers out of getting KG (you made me bring that up again) by public bashing of the Lakers. KG - “L.A. was never an option because of the Kobe situation”.

The FO is done trying to appease Kobe. The Lakers are now trying to do what is good for the Lakers (not just Kobe). As Bill Walton said it a few weeks ago. The Lakers finally told Kobe “NO”. There is Laker life beyond Kobe, you just hate to see it.

The only player the Lakers might be willing to move is Lamar.

The Lakers might as well just let Kobe walk and use that cap space to get someone else more promising than take your crap. Listen, you don't fraking trade HOF players in their prime. In the history of the NBA, the team that trades their HOF ALWAYS loses. Not sometimes, not most of the time, ALWAYS. So spare us your Kobe salesman rhetoric again. You got mad and took your toys home last time saying the Lakers suck and prepare to watch the Trulls rise in Dec. Ohhhhh, I can see that alright. Btw your media forgot to add this which was in the L.A. Times: Jackson said a trade to the Bulls was a near-impossibility in the first place. "It was an awful longshot for him," Jackson said. "Just difficult to work those things out, very hard to make everything match up with a player like that and the amount of money he has and the fact he has a no-trade clause." That's the media for ya.

Anyways Kobe takes bad shots I almost think he hurts the Lakers. 3 pump fakes and then a forced brick? If I was the Lakers I would unload Kobe. NOT BECAUSE I'm a Bulls fan. Think about this.... Farmar Fish Crittenton Deng Gordon Vujacic Thomas Walton Ariza Odom Turiaf Brown Bynum Noah Mihm That would be the next great young team in the West. Could you imagin a Tyrus Thomas and Andrew Bynum block party? Then you have another rising star in Deng and when Ben Gordon is on he's so cluth. This year has been a down year but he'll come around and that would give a sweet sixth man. God the Lakers would be stacked. I really think the Lakers would be better without Kobe. Yeah maybe he puts butts in the seats but so does winning. Then you could look to move Odom for some more prospects. Build around Bynum. Not that the Bulls or Kobe would do this! I don't know how they would like a team of Hinrich Kobe Nocioni Smith Wallace Honesty you guys are playing well but I don't think you'll take anyone in a playoff series. The defense looks suspect and I think the long season will catch up to the Lakers. Nothing last forever and by that I mean your bench playing above their career averages. But hey I could be wrong. I just think you should deal Kobe before he opts out of his contract and leaves you guys with Bynum and a bunch of roll players. Really Kobe isn't what he used to be and his shot selection is awful at times. I think LA would be better off cutting their ties with Kobe and building around Bynum. If you can get Deng, Tyrus, Noah, and BG I would make that deal. Skiles is fucking up the Bulls and won't play Noah and Tyrus at the same time. Ben Wallace is killing the Bulls. They have to play him cause they paid him 60 million and then pouts when he doesn't play. Thats really killing the Bulls because they would be better off with Thomas and Noah's rookie mistakes that the aging laziness and low production of Ben ''the dead body'' Wallace. I just wonder what PJ ment by saying oh there is another chapter to this story? Rolls eyes Deep dish? Giordano’s is awesome but I like the thin crust better. Pizzeria Unos is like Chicago’s Pizza Hut. Unos is so 1990’s.

Anyways Kobe takes bad shots I almost think he hurts the Lakers. 3 pump fakes and then a forced brick? If I was the Lakers I would unload Kobe. NOT BECAUSE I’m a Bulls fan. Think about this….

Farmar Fish Crittenton

Odom Turiaf Brown
