Kobe
Just in case, Mutoni at SLAM Online has an easy to follow breakdown of most of the recent Kobe Bryant drama.Clyde Drexler on what actions Kobe should take:
"If Kobe was smart he'd be trying to get (Minnesota's Kevin) Garnett to come play with him,'' Drexler said.
Henry/True Hoop on possible trade scenarios for Kobe:
To Minnesota for Kevin Garnett? (I wish Bryant and Garnett could somehow play together, but I don't see how it could happen. The irony would be that if Garnett is a Laker, where would Bryant rather play? Yet another example why, if you want to win titles, you are better off not having a max contract. Too hard to end up alongside other stars.)
Lang/SLAM Online on the chances of Kobe signing with the Wolves:
Again, if I’m Kobe I’m not going to Minnesota.
Sam Smith/Chicago Tribune on the Lakers offseason plans:
The Lakers will do something significant. I'd do O'Neal this summer and with Garnett able to opt out after next summer, I'd work on him as a friend if I were Bryant and get him to sign a short exception deal and then get taken care of down the road by the Lakers, though with nothing actually signed.
