    "Thoughts on Kobe"

    During vaction, mostly I just relaxed. I read a little bit, you know, hung out by the beach and then I came back to the states and I was like, "Damn, everyone's getting traded!?" I was on a trade rumor, a trade of me for Kobe and I was like, woah, what's going on? I'm being traded?!?

    I guess he really wants out of L.A., huh? Are the L.A. fans happy about this? It?s basically "he said, she said," and you're going to leave a city that embraced you because of "he said, she said?" I mean, I just think it's a bunch of Hocus Pocus.

    I mean, Shaq leaves, Phil Jackson leaves and now you want out? You know, I grew up an L.A. fan and as a fan of L.A. I don't know what to feel like. I'm like, now wait a minute, you want to leave now?? I'm thinking as a fan, not a player. Wait a minute, I bought the 24 collection, you know? He signed 24 jerseys: 24 white, 24 purple, 24 yellow. I got all three colors. I'm a fan! I came back and it's like, "Damn, he wants to leave no matter what?"

    Any team he goes to, they're going to have to get rid of a whole team to accommodate him. So he's going to be most likely be in a worse situation than he was before.

    That's how I look at it.</div>

    Hocus Pocus?

    Has Gilbert been talking to Mitch and his magic wand?
