One day after his publicly asking to be traded, and criticizing the Lakers franchise (SN reported), Lakers’ Kobe Bryant has changed his mind. “I don’t want to go anywhere, this is my team. I love it here.”
The change of heart comes after “an emotional conversation” with coach Phil Jackson. Shortly after Bryant’s initial outburst on ESPN radio, Lakers boss Jerry Buss denied having heard anything about Bryant’s wishes.
Buss, who has not commented on Bryant’s turnaround, said then: “We have made it very clear that we are building our team around Kobe and that we intend for him to be a Laker his entire career. We will speak directly to Kobe…”
