There's no way Buss let's him go. Think of how dramatically ticket sales would drop. LA sports fans aren't very loyal when there teams aren't champions or at least contenders. If Kobe leaves who's there star Odom? Smush Parker? Turiaf? Walton? Bynum? Kobe can cry all he wants but he's staying in LA.

 

In that case Bryant could refuse to play.

 

I don't think he'd take it that far because then he'd like the a-hole. If he did though I believe they could fine him for missing games and even take some of his contract $$$ if I'm not mistaken.

Eitherway I'm just hoping he stays in LA and that Buss signs atleast one other big name.

 

I don't think any big name wants to play with Bryant. Shaq didn't want to, I don't think others will want to either.

 

Looks like he's back tracking now.

Denver would be a good place for him.
