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