The fog on Kobe Bryant’s relationship with the Lakers has officially cleared. On Monday, the superstar made public what many have suspected for some time: he wants to stay long-term in Los Angeles. Check out the highlights from this story from the Associated Press: On being a Laker: On this season’s success:
My Quick Take: Bryant isn’t staying on the left coast because of the Impalas, warm weather, and freeways. Here are his true reasons for sticking in L.A.:

He only wants to stay because of the Pau Gasol Heist. If that hadn't happened he'd be in a different city next year. Don't fool yourselves, Fakers Fans. All glitz and no substance in Hollywood report abuse

Hi Jason, if the Lakers didn't improve, then I could see Bryant opting out early and leaving via free agency in 2009-10. However, the Lakers would struggle to trade him for two reasons. First, they are dealing from a position of weakness and getting back anything close to equal value is impossible. Second, Bryant's contract has been deemed the best in the history of pro sports. Few, if any teams, could assume such a deal. Those that could, like NY, lack tradeable pieces. Just my thought. Thanks for commenting. report abuse

u guys dont get it. kb24 wouldnt leave. did u see how great they were doing before bynum was injured??? they were already being predicted to go far in the playoffs. kb24 only was considering to leave because he didnt know how well bynum had progressed in the offseason. everyone in the team stepped up their game and so he stood around. plus its true, it would be extremely hard to find a good trade for kobe. i mean, his skillz are off the charts! and the lakers have him!!! report abuse

the lakers were already good before pau came because bynum's potential was finally materializing. if bynum never went down, the pau trade would have never happened, but the lakers would have still been on pace for 56 wins just like they were early in the season. so get your facts right jason instead of letting hate ruin your brain cells. report abuse

That's fine Jason, I don't care why he wants to stay--he's still here and will be here when we meet in the western finals. I would have loved to hear you change your tune if he had gone to PHX. "Kobe is the greatest player ever to grace the Suns locker room." Ha! I'm a fan, you're a professional--show it. report abuse

How can anyone like kobe, okay hes a good player, but look at how many shots he takes every game, thats the only reason he scores so much. duz he makes his teammates better like a lebron or wade, NO. now , suddenly that the lakers got pau, and bynum was doing good, and the actually started winning, everyone is considering kobe for mvp, when it should be pau or bynum that deserve the credit. have we all forgot how crap kobe and the lakers were doing before those 2 emerged (pau and bynum). even in the short period of time when pau and bynum were both injured, it was the "old lakers" again, with only kobe, and they only won around 50 eprcent of their games, just like the other seasons with only kobe. so KOBE ISNT AN MVP, and, hes only saying he wants to stay because now theyre winning. NOW report abuse

everyone is a fan of kobe somehow. whether u love to hate him or hate to love him, hes the best. kobe was making his team better before gasol arrived. sasha and farmar were drilling 3's all day, ronny's defense got better, etc. i doubt the entire bench would be playing as good if kobe wasnt around. report abuse

Kobe didn't have to apologize to anyone. Matter of fact if Kobe say's nothing the Lakers never make any kind of move. Remember we had the same team as last year, that's why he said what he said. report abuse
