Kobe Wants Out Of LA

According to Ric Bucher of ESPN, Kobe Bryant will demand a trade from the Lakers if Jerry West is not brought back to Los Angeles with full control of basketball operations. Just for fun: Boston trades Paul Pierce, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff and the No. 5 pick in the 2007 Draft to Los Angeles for Kobe Bryant, Kwame Brown and the No. 19 pick in the 2007 Draft. Kobe a Celtic? Only if the Red Sox are 12.5 games ahead of the Yankees on Memorial Day.
