Kobe forces shaq out?

Shaq set to leave 

I cannot believe it's come to this. Shaq is leaving, Phil gone, Rudy arriving, and the possibility of Kobe expressing interest in the Clippers. All for what, to prove he is the star? The Lakers have lost two years in a row despite having his almighty star power. Is is too early to say “has been”. If the Lakers really caved in and got rid of Phil and Shaq to make Kobe happy, then let Kobe leave. Nobody is worth this much pain. The Lakers will be lucky to make it to the first round next year. With Shaq on the east cost, and Kobe possibly locked up in Denver (or working for the Clippers), it's going to be a BAD basketball year for LA.

Maybe we need a new GM too. Where is Jerry West when you need him?

Oh well, now maybe I can afford tickets.
