Kobe Bryant wants to be traded...

[vlhorowitz]

Why am I not surprised ? Sooner or later, this guy stabs everyone in the back. Best player in the game today - probably the most despised as well. I hope he never wins another playoff series.

Best player doth not a winning team make. 

Air Jordan would have gotten nowhere with out Scotty Pippin... Magic needed Kareem, and Bryant really only worked with Shaq...

Lebron is 2 games away from an NBA finals (with NO ONE on his team). The truth is that Kobe does not elevate the play of his teammates... to a playoff-series-winning level.
Kobe is a much better version of VC, Tmac, Iverson, Pierce, etc., but...who cares ? The guy scored 81 points in one game and can't win an MVP award!

Bottom line: He got rid of Shaq so that he could try being the star, spent 3 years wrestling with Raja Bell, and now, he's jumping ship.

It won't happen, but I wish Danny Ainge would go get him. The Celtics aren't going anywhere anyway, we might as well watch Paul Pierce and Kobe light up the Atlantic Conference.
