So Stephen A. Smith and Bucher predict Kobe to demand a trade.

at Buss and Mitch

You guys did a bang up job this summer. Shipped off Lamar Odom and brought in Josh McRoberts and Gerald Greene and Jason Kapono. Awesome moves guys.

I'm not prepared to bite into the notion that Kobe will demand a trade at any point. I can understand that he's pissed, but what does he stand to gain by leaving LA? It would be disappointing to see him retire and finish his career in anything but a Lakers jersey.

This whole off-season has been a disaster, as a Laker fan I've never felt more disheartened. I was ok going into this season with the same squad, but not sans LO and under these broken morale circumstances.

Can only hope that a little basketball on the court can remedy what's going on right now. I don't feel like this is Mitch, so much as I feel Jim Buss is just going crazy as the spoiled kid who's dad (the great Jerry Buss) handed him the keys to the Ferrari.

Yeah, can't do that Jerry. Looks like Jim may have wrecked it.

I have no doubt it was Jim Buss behind all the "OH SNAP, yeah let's try and get Howard AND CP3!!!111" Stupidest thing I had heard all summer I said it when the news first broke, and now I have a feeling of weird satisfaction [that homer Laker fans now have to live with this team] and grief [I too have to live with this team].

Not sure if Mitch was behind the trading Lamar away for nothing, but they should've let cooler heads prevail and talked to Lamar.

The season is definitely not lost so I hope Kobe gets over it. I don't 100% believe SAS and that Kobe will demand a trade, but there's smoke I'm sure to this story and maybe even a little bit of fire.

Talent wise there are a bunch of teams who could end up with worse records (Sac, Mil, Tor, Was, Utah, Det, GSW)

Another team I see that could potentially have a worst record than the T'Wolves is the Bobcats. I just think they are going to struggle this year. I don't think the T'Wolves will be a top 3 pick. I'm thinking more towards 6-8. Though they are young, they have a bunch of talent and a great head coach.
