Lakers doing damage control

[HAWKEYE]

This from a Laker season ticket holder on RealGm. Dr. Buss has emailed the following: We are aware of the media reports. However Kobe has not told us directly that he wants to be traded. We have made it clear that we are building our team around Kobe and that we intend for him to be a Laker his entire career. We will speak directly to Kobe and until we do that, we will not comment publicly about this.(end of quote) Season ticket holders are asked to respond to a dedicated email address identifying themselves by their season ticket holder account number and that replys will not be immediate.

Sports center thinks he want his daddy Jerry West to come back. Like I said before. He made the ultimatum: Shaq or me. And Shaq has won another ring since that time. Kobe made his bed . . . . now sleep in it.
