But seriously I don't really want Kobe on our team. I love T-Mac and I think he would be ****ing pissed off if we ship him off when his chances to advance in the playoffs are highest.

No disrespect to Mac but, I could care less how he would feel if he were to get traded.
Bottom line is that Kobe has grown up quite a bit. If you look at LA, he has to be the man. There is nobody else on that team. That is why he is still labeled a ball hog and selfish. If he wasn't that team would be in the cellar. If he were surrounded by some veteran players that can play (ie: Francis, James, Battier) then he wouldn't be put in a position to dominate the whole game.
My issue with TMac has always been health and disappearing at inopportune times. KOBE IS A BETTER PLAYER IN ALL FACETS OF THE GAME THAN TMAC.
I want the best players on this rocket team and if LA would do a deal with Houston that didn't include Yao and Battier I would be all for it.
