Aside from any worries as to who will coach the Lakers next season, Kupchak has made it clear that Kobe Bryant is the player they want in L.A., and O'Neal as well is he so desires. If not, the Kupchak and the Lakers are willing to deal O'Neal out to keep Kobe.

excerpts:

Speaking less than 48 hours after the Lakers were beaten by the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals, Kupchak also said the team will do whatever it takes to keep Kobe Bryant, and trading Shaquille O'Neal is a possibility if the star center demands it

"Kobe is just going to have to just go, because we're not going to trade him," Kupchak said. "I don't anticipate that changing. We're going to do everything we can to keep him."

CRAZY SHIT GOIN DOWN

HOPEFULLY SHAQ STAYS BUT ACCORDING TO SOURCES CLOSE TO THE LAKERS IF KOBE DOESNT WANT TO PLAY WITH SHAQ,,THEN THEY'LL TRADE HIM..THIER GIVING KOBE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE TEAM IT SEEMS..AND IF SHAQ DOESNT WANT TO STAY IN L.A. AS KOBE AS THE 1# OPTION,THEN THEYLL TRADE HIM.ALL IM GONNA SAY IS THE TALK AROUND LAKER TOWN IS INSANE,,,I AINT EVEN GONNA MENTION THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS WILLING TO COME TO L.A. ..FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT L.A. WAS GONNA BREAK UP AND BE MEDIOCRE NEXT YEAR ARE SADLY MISTAKEN..ILL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.. :confused:

THE ONLY PLAYER THAT SHOULD OF OPTED AND HASNT IS GARY PAYTON..IT LOOKS LIKE HE STAYING..

Man they should trade shaq - how many more good years does he have left in him? he's in his thirties now and he'll be more injury prone especially if he's not training year round.

and shaq only played good in one game, #4, and they still lost
