How do you know he is making up shyt?

Bucher is one of Kobe's closest friends in the media. Bucher has always supported Kobe even when it was not the popular thing to do.

The Lakers have been surrounded by more trade rumors than nearly any other team this season, and it seems that nearly every player on the team is untouchable. That is, every player other than Kobe Bryant. Right?

According to ESPN’s Ric Bucher that might not be the case.

During an appearance on SportsCenter on Tuesday, Bucher stated his belief that the Lakers should explore trading Bryant. Yes, you read that right.

Now, Bucher’s reasoning is mostly financial, stating that the team is facing a steep luxury tax in the next few years, and that by clearing Bryant’s contract off the books they can look to make a splash in free agency next summer.

and this is in March of this year while we were the #3 seed...this dont look like support to me

this "someone who knows Kobe well" bullshyt just doesnt fly, especially when you consider the credibility of the journalist Bucher...this is the same guy that GUARANTEED Kobe wouldnt be a Laker passed 08..the same guy whose sources told him to tell us Kobe would be willing to sit out season if not traded
:what:

Because KOBE was telling HIM that. Everyone Kobe was talking to he told them that he was DONE with the Lakers.

Bucher was only reporting what Kobe was telling him. Same with Stephen A Smith.

How fukking stupid are you?

Kobe even went on the radio and said the same shyt.

Use your fukking brain for once man.

So did Stephen A Smith. Are you forgetting that too?
is this about Stepen A or Bucher....

YOU said Bucher has been Kobe's biggest supporter, but how is that the case when he suggests the Lakers should trade Kobe for cap space?..really?..that is NOT support, no matter how you spin it....

These so called Kobe stans don't even know Kobe's history.

They forgot the whole "I'll play on Pluto before putting on a Lakers uniform again".

Jim Grey was Kobe's go to guy in the media, then it became Stephen A. Smith and Rick Bucher.

Who was the only guy in the media that pushing for Kobe to win MVP in 06 and 07? Who was the only guy in the media that was calling it a travesty that Nash and Dirk won over Kobe? Who was the only guy in the media that was calling Kobe the best player in the league in 09 and 10?

RICK BUCHER

Look up Bucher's history. He always supported Kobe since day one.

Kobe went on STEPHEN A SMITH"S show...NOT Ric Bucher's

quit defending this garbage ass journalist

nobody told him Kobe would be prepared to sit out, thats bullshyt...cause the Lakers started the season with the SAME damn roster, and guess what...Kobe was not sitting out...sign #1 he's fukk of shyt

sign #2
He also mentioned that the only way Kobe stays with the Lakers is if they are able to land KG and only KG.
how does someone that know Kobe so well, keep getting shyt so wrong:laff:

the nikka is a source-less piece of journalistic shyt

his infatuation with Kobe doesnt negate the fact that his sources are bullshyt and he suggested trading Kobe Bryant, which is probably one of the dumbest suggestions from a journalist ive heard

but then again you did say Wade and Love were better than Kobe, so this conversation is OVER

They were better LAST YEAR. Kobe is playing much better now than he was last year. No more 3 for 20 nights.

I mean....sources can be wrong too.

If Kobe himself can say "I'm not playing for the Lakers anymore" and then proceed to do exactly that...how can you find it incomprehensible that at one point he told someone close to him that he was prepared to sit out the season?

I'm very familiar with ESPN's questionable journalism, and I believe their editorial process to be embarrassing at best, but to go from that to accusations that a reporter is literally just inventing sources is one hell of a leap.
