Doing his best to patch the holes created over the last five days, team owner Jerry Buss discussed the future of his team with his unhappy All-Star. "I talked with Kobe this morning and assured him that I share his frustration and, more importantly, I assured him that we will continue to pursue every avenue possible to improve our team with him as the cornerstone," Buss said in a statement released by the Lakers. "I told him that we will keep him apprised of our progress and we agreed that we will talk again in the very near future."</div> Source: LATimes
It dosent say much, it just said they have no plans to trade him. But I want to know what they are going to try to do.
Well at this point they'd be fools to lie to him again because he will opt out in a few years and they'll get nothing. They either trade him now or make good on those promises, but then again this front office has shown their incompetence in the past so I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe opts out.
