Kobe Fictions

Yesterday a report surfaced that Detroit would trade Rip Hamilton, Tayshawn Prince, picks, and more for Kobe.

I don't buy a word of it. Not unless Joe Dumars fell on his head. He would never undermine his players this way and Hamilton and Prince alone is far too high a price for Kobe.

This is a classic case of the Lakers getting crap offers for Kobe and attempting to salvage Kobe's and the Lakers' reputations by planting a whopper "rumor" in the MSM to try and falsely bid up Kobe's worth.

Alex Rodriguez has learned a sad lesson that Kobe has yet to understand, Nobody wants you that badly!

Nobody.

Update 11/18/07: Sure enough:
Nevertheless, the Bryant trade-rumor virus has spread east as a breathless radio report last week had the Pistons ready to send Tayshaun Prince, Richard Hamilton and draft picks to the Lakers before Bryant used his no-trade clause to reject the deal. Much like the similarly fictitious media and Internet reports of an imminent Bryant deal to the Bulls last month, there was no truth to it.

Necessities

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
