That's just what I had read about the deal.

So if Kobe didn't do this, why did they get rid of Shaq? How did it go down?

Read the article.

this could end up being 1 of the best off seasons as far as trading players is concerned in recent history. I am exited to see what happens now.

Reading comprehension is underrated imo.

Drew,

Just read the damn thing. Basically Buss didn't want to pay Shaq that kind of money because he thought he was over the hill. To be honest I can't entirely blame him for that, though the trade he made was retarded.

all,
Now I'm not going to do any work all day and play on the trade machine

I just swapped Kobe and Vlad Radmanovich to the Celtics for Telfair, West, Wally, Ratliff, Gerald Green, and Tony Allen. That'd be fun (and likely a total trainwreck).

Sorry but the ESPN article is BS. There is no doubt in my mind that he wanted Shaq out. If he wanted them to keep Shaq then why did he wait till the day after the trade to resign. Kobe is a narcissistic prick who was jealous of Shaq for getting all the credit. He was so full of himself he thought he could win a championship without Shaq. He really thinks he is Jordan. The sad thing is he might be able to be Jordan if only he wasn't so selfish. He is only coming forward against the statement now because 3 years later Shaq has a title and he barely has 2 playoff appearances.

Just being lazy. Okay, read the article. That sure makes Buss look like an idiot.

As a Rockets fan, I'd be happy to offer up T-Mac right now...

So Kobe has been fine with the perception that he ran Shaq out of town for all this time, and just now wants it to be known that he had nothing to do with it?

I have a really hard time believing this

Shaq only had one good year left in him anyway. GG Buss.
