Source: Bryant tells Buss that he wants out

In a meeting in Spain, the Lakers star voices concerns to owner about team's direction.

Jerry Buss met with his unhappy $88.6-million employee, Kobe Bryant, for a get-together Friday between owner and superstar in the somewhat surprising setting of Spain.

They had spoken by phone two weeks ago, a few days after Bryant asked to be traded, but this was a longer, more emotional conversation.

Buss wanted to appeal to the nine-time All-Star, reminding him that trades take time to develop and that winning remains the focus of the organization, but Bryant voiced concerns about the direction of the franchise and reiterated his demand to be traded, said a source with knowledge of the situation.

"That's the message that came out of it," the source said.

Team sources vehemently insisted there were no plans to trade Bryant, and they were still hopeful that a peaceful solution could be reached. Bryant and Buss are expected to resume their dialogue in the near future.

Bryant's displeasure has grown steadily since the Lakers were eliminated by Phoenix last month in the first round of the playoffs. The Lakers are 121-125 since reaching the NBA Finals in 2004, not including their first-round exits the last two seasons.

Last month, Bryant publicly requested that Jerry West return to the team's front office — an unlikely scenario — and urged General Manager Mitch Kupchak to make trades that would steer the team in a winning direction.

"I'm still frustrated," Bryant said at the time. "I'm waiting for them to make some changes."

The Lakers have contacted numerous teams, but there have not been any blockbuster deals yet — by them or by any other team in the league.

Talks with the Indiana Pacers for six-time All-Star forward-center Jermaine O'Neal have stalled because the Lakers do not want to give up both Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum to get O'Neal.

Trade talks around the league are expected to heat up as the June 28 draft approaches and could continue into the free-agent period that begins July 1.

Bryant was vacationing in Spain and stopped by to see a practice session of his favorite soccer team, FC Barcelona, on Thursday. Buss had been in China since leaving the U.S. more than two weeks ago. He planned to travel to London before returning to Los Angeles, although it was unclear whether he went to Spain specifically to talk to Bryant.

"What they talked about and what went on between Kobe and Dr. Buss is private and will remain between the two of them," Lakers spokesman John Black said.

Bryant's agent, Rob Pelinka, did not return calls seeking comment.

Bryant, who will be 29 in August, has four years left on his contract, but he can void it in two years.

The two-time scoring champion, widely acknowledged as the game's most dynamic player, has the NBA's top-selling jersey and is a significant draw at Staples Center. The Lakers are very cognizant of his importance in driving ticket sales, as well as his effect on corporate sponsors.

Buss, who signed off on Bryant's seven-year, $136.4-million contract in July 2004, released a statement two weeks ago in which he said, "We will continue to pursue every avenue possible to improve our team with him as the cornerstone."

일단 요약을 하자면...버스 구단주(아버지) 가 스페인에 친히 들린 듯 하고(확인 할 수는 없으나) 코비와 1대1 면담을 한 듯 합니다. 코비가 "팀을 떠나고 싶다"라고 말한건 익명의 팀 관계자 말이고 (코비가 여기서 지속 트레이드를 요청한 걸로 소문이 났습니다) 추가로...오닐을 위해 구단이 오돔 바이넘 둘다 주기 꺼려고하고 있으며...뭐 중간 쯤 "열받는다, 변화를 기다린다"라는 발언은 지난 번 일화때 얘기니 오해 마시고..공식적인 내용 확인은 없었습니다.

[[LAL]trashtalk]

개인적인 생각은...구단주가 직접 스페인까지 찾아가는데에는 그만큼 잡으려는 의도가 있는 듯 하고...소문을 낸 근원지는 코비가 프론트 업무까지 주물럭 거리는걸 열받아 한 프런트진에서 또 소문을 낸듯 하기도 하고...Rob Pelinka 메니저가 공식 발언을 안하는건 이 참에 코비가 원하는데로 어느 정도 팀의 변화를 가져오기 위해 서스펜스를 늘리려는 의도 같습니다. 실제로 트레이드를 원한다면 (코비가) 지금 막 말 꺼내서 모든 팀의 관심을 끌려고 하겠죠...물론 너무 설치면 오히려 자신의 주가에 흠집을 내니 신중한 것 일 수도 있죠...

딴 소리지만 Rob Pelinka 도 맘에 안 들어요. 부저 캐브스에서 빼올때부터 싫었음. 그리고 코비 틀드되길원한다고 ESPN에 얘기했나봐요.

ESPN글 읽었는데 위 내용을 보고 쓴거 같네요...낚시이길 바랍니다....아니면 제대로 본전 챙기는 트레이드 (1대1트레이드) 를 하거나요...

뭐 코비가 나가든 안나가든 상관은 없지만 만약 코비가 남고, 코비 중심의 리빌딩이 갑자기 각성해서 내년에 우승한다는 케이스가 돈과 화려함을 자랑하는 레이커스에게 가장 좋은거겠죠. 하지만 그럴일은 절대로 없을테고.... 코비를 남기게 하려면 누구든 대형프로젝트로 대려와야하죠.
