Brand New Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I could care less, I actually wanted him traded when he wanted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 30, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Lots of factors involved. If the Lakers trade him this season, and they don't get a superstar in return, I probably drop the fanship because: 1) that just makes them the dumbest organization in the league, and2) Oklahoma City finally has a team If they trade Kobe in a sign-and-trade for LeBron, or maybe even Wade, I'll probably still root for the Lakers as my primary team, but I'm not quite sure. To be honest, for me, the OKC Thunder alter everything. I was born and raised in Kansas, and because nobody in my family liked basketball (except for my cousin), I had to just pick a team out of the hat. It was Jordan and Barkley before I truly started loving the game, and because of Kobe, I picked the Lakers (would've been a Hornets fan, really, if not for the trade). Bryant has been with the team for 14 seasons now (this being his 14th). Thing is, I'd be pretty disappointed if the Lakers ended up trading him, despite his age. I think Houston and New York fans get it. They saw Hakeem and Patrick dealt to the Raptors and Sonics, ending their careers in poor fashion. Winning or not, Kobe is the reason I started watching and rooting for the Lakers. We had a 34-win season in 2004-05, and it didn't matter. We exited the playoffs two consecutive times in the first round, didn't matter. When it's all said and done, Kobe may be the reason I'm still rooting for them. Jumping on some bandwagon because of a 17-year old draft pick isn't exactly a reason to consider me a true bandwagoner. It was a reason to root for a player and his team, stick with it for 15-16 seasons or so, and hope for something local in the end (the Thunder). Los Angeles doesn't have a reason to trade Bryant. If they ever thought they did, I don't know...I COULD welcome the trade if it was legit, but again, I don't want him to Hakeem his way out of his legacy with the Lakers, either.

Sky Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) I've been a Laker fan since 1971. Players come and go. I'm a team zealot not a player zealot. Already been through losing a great one several times. Look at how Magic went out. Nothing will be as painful as that. Will be sad to see Kobe go but jump off a cliff? Hardly. It's a generational gap. You have kids raised on player first all their lives and old school raised on team first (raises hand) who think player first is sacrilege. Sad but move on. Appreciate Kobe greatly, appreciate the rings even more. Pause, say thank you to a legendary player, then move on.
