While there seems little doubt
Kobe Bryant wants out of Los Angeles, the
Lakers aren't getting ready for life without him.Coach Phil Jackson has made a decision that he feels justified to hold -- one that I've questioned -- that he has reasons to leave the
Lakers," Jackson in an e-mail to the newspaper. "However, it's my unshakeable feeling that Kobe will be a Laker next October … when training camp opens." Jerry Buss (
lakers coach) and Bryant met face-to-face last Friday in Barcelona, and while the Los Angeles Times and Riverside Press-Enterprise quoted sources as saying Bryant still wanted out, Black declined comment other than to say: "Our position is what was said at that meeting between the two of them will remain between the two of them."
