Lakers Play, Kobe Doesn't

He didn't make the trip for an exibition game in Vegas against the Kings, which the Lakers won. Harbinger of things to come? Who knows. But he's going to play somewhere, and he's going to dominate. Cause, you know, he's Kobe. In other sports news... wait, there wasn't any. Nothing happened today except a bunch of preseason basketball. Boston did put a hurtin' on the Cavs though, 114-89. KG had a triple double. He's a beast.

Oh, and Boise St. Beast Fresno St. in college football. Not that you care.

Kobe Bryant Rumors

Rumor has it Kobe Bryant just cleared out his locker today and a trade will be announced within hours. Where is he going? Who knows. I'm guessing Isiah Thomas traded 17 future 1st round picks for him. Stay tuned as more details become clear.

NOTE: While I'm not making this up, it may be unsubstantiated.

Kobe, Come Home

Look, I don't like Kobe Bryant. I never have. Ever since he tried to rep Philly at the All Star game and everyone booed him, I've always thought he was a bit of a punk. Aw, you're upset because we booed? Hey asshole, your team beat us in the finals 8 months beforehand! Did you expect a hero's welcome?

Also, Kobe isn't really from Philly. He spent his formative years in Italy and went to high school in a Philly suburb. Yes, if he had to rep an American city, Philly would be the logical choice. But he is no Philadelphian.

That being said, I want him on the Sixers. Now. He's unhappy in L.A.? Fine. Bring him back "home". Give up Rodney Carney and the 21st and 30th pick int he draft for him if L.A. really wants to unload him. Is that equal value for one of the most dynamic scorers of all time in his prime? Good grief no, but the NBA gods owe us one after giving away Iverson for half a sandwich and three expired coupons.

Could he play with Iguodala? Absolutely. Iggy is a smaller, more athletic and talented version of Lamar Odom, with whom Kobe meshed well enough. And Andre Miller would suit him perfectly. Bring him. Do it now.

The only problem is that Billy King, fuckhead that he is, might trade the entire team for him, leaving the Sixers with a one man roster come opening night. Also, Kobe has a no-trade clause and could easily end up on a better team than the Sixers (Dallas, Phoenix, Chicago, etc.). But hey, Kobe always said he liked a challenge...
