I hate this shite in journalism, it's the ultimate copout. There is probably like a 5% chance that would happen, so they squeeze that sentence in there so when it doesn't happen they've covered their arse. But on the slim chance it did happen, they'd be the first to jump up and say "SEE SEE WE SAID IT!! WE GOT IT RIGHT!!"

The only way this happens is if Jim Buss uses amnesty on Kobe, which is tantamount to suicide with the Laker fanbase.


A trade of Kobe is a non-starter because he has a no-trade clause and the chances of him waiving it so he can let Howard run him out of town are exceedingly slim.

If Jim Buss used the amnesty on Kobe, LA would riot.

Seriously, he wouldn't make it home without being shot

And that would be the biggest mistake the lakers would ever make.

If Dr. Buss was still around, the thought of this would be asinine.

But Jimbo has already proven that the apple did fall very far from the tree. I doubt this happens but I wouldn't be shocked if it did.

Remember, everyone thought D'antoni over PJax wouldn't happen either.

Phil Jackson didnt want the job. He told them up front he didnt want to go on all the road trips

If Howard rode Kobe out of town, he would be unhappy in less than a year and demand a trade then the lakers wouldn't have anyone. There is absolutely no way to make a woman happy 100% of the time and Howard is the biggest woman in the world.

After hiring D'Antoni, I wouldn't put anything - no matter how stupid - past the Lakers.

I have been thinking about this the last few days. It sounds retarded, but shite Howard is alot younger than Kobe. Kobe is close to retirement. I would not be surprised to see the Lakers get rid of him.
