Re: [討論] 科比已非湖人王朝籌碼 貝斯休賽期或下ꨠ…
原文我昨天還前天在 bleacherreport.com 看到的，本來有打算要翻，可是覺得內容沒啥
營養，所以後來翻了DJ那篇。現在這篇在該網站已經被砍掉了。不過還是有找到原文貼出
來，想看的就看一下吧。不用太認真看。
簡而言之，幾個重點：
1. 外傳KB在等PJ續約他才肯續約，可是如果沒有PJ而KB拿到冠軍的話，豈不是可以更證
明KB的價值了？去年KB終於證明沒有SHAQ也可以拿到冠軍。他還能證明什麼？連MJ都
沒有辦法在沒有PJ的情況下拿到冠軍，如果KB辦成了，豈不終於有成績超越MJ？
2. 不是KB不簽延長合約，而是BUSS還沒決定要延長。BUSS不急。LAKERS對KB來講還是最
佳的選擇。擁護的球迷，高額的薪水，優秀的隊員，光榮的傳統，屬於KB的城市。況
且，就算KB跳脫合約，市場上第一大尾還是LBJ而不是KB。
3. BUSS還是對前幾年KB要求交易而感到受傷。BUSS在SHAQ跟KB之間選擇了將LAKERS交給
KB，而KB竟然是這樣對待他。另外，BUSS也是個精明的生意人。就算是非送出去不可
的東西，也要撈回相當價值的東西才肯放行。當初KB要求交易，他不單要新秀或選秀
，也不單要明星球員，而是兩者都要，所以最後KB還是沒交易出去。
4. 既然KB跳不跳脫合約對BUSS不痛不癢，那他也不用現在急著奉上延長合約給KB。當然
，最慘有可能是KB跳脫合約選擇和別隊簽約，但BUSS願意賭這一把。況且，如果KB
真的跳脫合約，也許那萬分之一的機會LBJ表達要來LAKERS的意願，便可通過雙方先簽
後換的方式簽下LBJ。
5. 總之，BUSS彷彿就是對KB說「你跳阿！我就不信你敢跳～～～～～～」
以上，都是原文作者的臆測，似乎沒有任何直接的憑據
Are the Los Angeles Lakers Gambling with Kobe Bryant to Get to LeBron James?
by Nate Smith
The greatest player of his era can opt out of his contract at the end of the 2009-10 NBA season.
The greatest player of the next era will be a free agent after this season.
No matter how much they get tired of hearing their names together, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James' fates will be intertwined. The two best players in the world fit together like cereal and milk. Unfortunately, the prospect of them living together like in their puppet world is a greater possibility than them playing together.
Given that backdrop, one has to wonder why Kobe Bryant hasn't signed a $91 million extension that is allegedly on the table for him.
Media personalities and journalists have been speculating that perhaps Kobe wants to ensure that Phil Jackson commits to a couple more seasons before he will sign another contract to be a Laker for life.
But in Kobe's push to get six rings and match Jordan, wouldn't it be a treat for Kobe to win one without Jackson? Wouldn't winning at least one ring without Jackson give Kobe some leverage in the Kobe-Jordan debate—doing something that his doppelganger did not do?
Kobe has to know that doing what Jordan never did and winning a title without Jackson would only enhance his legacy. Add to his legend. So Kobe linking his decision to return with Phil Jackson's status seems unlikely.
There's something else brewing beneath the surface.
The lawyer in me understand that contract negotiations are never what they seem, especially with sophisticated parties.
And then there's history to consider, which often repeats itself.
If I was a betting man (and Lakers' owner Jerry Buss is a betting man) I would bet that Kobe would sign his contract tomorrow if the Lakers would offer him one that genuinely rewarded him for the value he produces. Kobe isn't holding his contract up; the Lakers are.
You might well be asking yourself "Why wouldn't the Lakers ink Kobe to a long-term deal as soon as possible?" Simple. They have no incentive to.
Until LeBron James r-esigns with Cleveland or moves to New York or otherwise commits to another team, Buss has leverage.
Kobe just better be glad that he isn't an unrestricted free agent. Everyone remembers 2004. That summer, Buss refused to pay Shaquille O'Neal's contract demands and then proceeded to trade him. In the process Buss ensured that the team was properly given to the talented and younger Kobe Bryant.
In 2010, one can imagine the Lakers organization pushing Kobe out, especially if they've already received hints that LeBron would sign in Los Angeles if the money became available.
Everyone in that organization remembers how Kobe turned his back on them and tried to force a trade in 2007. After Buss gave Kobe the keys to the most storied basketball franchise ever, he must've felt betrayed by his chosen one that summer.
Perhaps he's forgiven Kobe, but he hasn't forgotten.
Perhaps the Lakers are unwilling to budge on Kobe's contract demands because they really don't care if he opts out or not.
And perhaps that is all part of the plan. Because if Bryant becomes upset and opts out, who here doesn't think that LeBron would be on the next plane to L.A. trying to make his case as the best Laker ever?
Buss took the team away from Shaq to give it to Kobe. Why wouldn't he take it from Kobe and give it to the talented and younger LeBron?
And what's the worse that could happen, anyway? Kobe opts out and LeBron doesn't sign? Well, then, just give in to Kobe's demands. Would Kobe risk being irrelevant in the later stages of his career playing with the Knicks because of pride? Kobe wants to win.
In fact, that's all he cares about. The Lakers know that. And that's why, even if Kobe opts out, he's not likely to walk.
Still, its a gamble. Kobe is stubborn. He could walk feeling disrespected and take his passion for the game to another city.
Yet, there's the possibility of LeBron signing, and maybe that makes it a gamble worth taking. Make no mistake about it: Given LeBron's age, the Lakers would be unstoppable for much of the next decade.
A roster of LeBron, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, and me could win multiple championships. Just think of the possibilities.
But if Kobe doesn't opt out, then the dreams of LeBron to L.A. are merely of the pipe varitey.
And honestly, what Lakers fan besides Dr. Buss really wants to see LeBron in purple and gold instead of Kobe?
With Kobe? Sure.
Instead of Kobe? Not so much.
Kobe is a Laker. He is the epitome of the Los Angeles Lakers. His "me against the world" mentality fits at home in Los Angeles. Kobe's work ethic resonates with its populace.
Kobe was born to be a Laker. As good as LeBron is (and he's damn good), the fans in L.A. will never forgive Buss for letting Bryant walk. See, as big of a headache as Kobe can appear to be sometimes...and as much as he shoots the ball sometimes, no one can say he doesn't bring it every night.
Every single night.
Hurt?
"I'm fine."
Sick?
"I'm fine."
Kobe is someone you want to go to battle with, and not because you always think you're going to win. You go to battle with him because you believe in him. No player can replicate that feeling in quite the same way.
The fans, the city of L.A., and Dr. Buss have all invested heavily in Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant has produced returns on that investment to the tune of four championships and six Finals appearances.
With that rate of return, a gamble seems unnecessary. Re-invest in what works. Re-invest in Kobe.

我能想到的方法是 LAL和CLE各用鳥權分別簽下KB跟LBJ然後交易
如果我沒記錯，先簽後換只能適用於原本自己球隊的球員，不然要等一段時間才能交易
