What really happened in Barcelona this summer . Kobe the G.M 

Post#1 » by TonyMontana » Fri Feb 1, 2008 11:32 pm

I recall when Kobe was demanding a trade this summer , and when he was on his so called vacation is Barcelona .
I posted many times that he was there for a reason .
Buss was there , Kobe was there , and so was Pau .

Reports came that Kobe had a meeting with Buss , then with Pau .

After there meeting Kobe was quiet about his trade demands .
My take on this .

The front office and the co stars played this out so nice that they had myself and everyone else sold on the fact that Kobe was leaving LA .

Pre Season starts and Buss comes out publicaly and tells the media that he will listen to offers for Kobe .

Pau G. expresses his discomfort about playing in Memphis .

As time has gone by , I personally think that this was the game plan when Buss , Kobe , Pau met .

Kobe was the main focus and the G.M on this trade and the setting was in Spain .

I have always expressed interest in Pau and I can honestly say that this was Kobes work I give him a lot of credit for being the leader that he has grown to be .

All I can say is I am happy to be a Laker fan today as always , and Im glad that Kobe is a part of this team and its future .

Mitch bagged us Pau and Ariza for a bag of chips and a baseball.

And Kobe? What can we say about him? He's just God man. He's God. He giveth, he taketh. He controls our team and the NBA.

Kobe planned this out. He want Boston vs. LA to come back. So I think this was his plan all along telling KG not to come to LA.

Hmm, Kobe is a drama queen after all. He didnt want a one team dominance over the NBA. I see this, I see how it is now. He's a fair player.

OK, Im done with my sarcasm and humor here.
