I asked West, who was in Orlando, Fla., evaluating basketball players.?I have absolutely no idea,? he replied. ?I?ve been away from that scene for many years.??Kobe?s asked to be traded,? I said.?Yeah, I heard that,? West said.?What do you think about it???Surprising.??Will it happen???I have no idea what?s going on with the Lakers.??I?m absolutely not going back to the Lakers,? West said assertively. ?I?m 69 years old. I?ve been at this long enough. It?s time for me to step permanently to the sidelines.?</div>http://www.dailynews.com/ci_6025174?source=most_viewedCan't say that I am too surprised, considering he already stated he was going to retire.
