Hate to bring up the past but it is necessary…

Here’s a quote from Magic Johnson reagrding Kobe Bryant as seen in the LA Times today:

“If Kobe would have been smart, he would have mended those fences with Shaquille, let Shaquille be ‘The Man’ and we wouldn’t be in this position," Johnson said. Now, after four years later, he understands that he can’t do it by himself. Now he’s blaming the organization, and some of that blame should be on him and some on the organization.”

Thank you Magic Johnson for saying what every Los Angeles Laker fan is thinking…

Magic went on to say that the Lakers should keep Kobe Bryant and I agree.

At this point here’s what the Lakers are talking about bringing in for Kobe Bryant:

Ben Wallace and Ron Artest

or

Shawn Marion and a package of other players

Puhleeease!

Ben Wallace is over the hill and I still have nightmares of Marion’s atrocious looking jumper…

Neither of these deals is appealing and if this is the best out there you (Lakers) better start looking for some players in a deal to keep Kobe Bryant in LA.

The only deal I would make for Kobe Bryant is Ben Gordon and Luol Deng but the Bulls don’t want to part with Deng and rumor has it that Kobe would veto a trade that would involve sending Deng to the Lakers…

Lakers, you’re up shit creek without a paddle.

Kobe Bryant is demanding a trade (and threatening to opt out after this season) and he won’t be OKing a  deal to a team that’s been gutted just to land him

Buss family, it’s time to get on your hands and knees, beg Kobe for forgiveness and bring in some talent that will keep him in Los Angeles.
