Rumor has it that Kobe Bryant vetoed a trade to the Detroit Pistons in a deal that included Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton. Thoughts?

Is that true? I haven't heard anything about this.

Billups better have been involved to give up Kobe.

Because he wants better? Because he doesn't want to live in freakin Detroit (who would?), because he knows he can command more? Take your pick.

I think it was the second one. He didn't want to go live in Detroit. If it was all about winning the title, I think that would be a pretty nice setup.

Thank God that trade fell through, if there is any truth to this rumor. Kobe is worth far more than those two guys and really needs to stay put right where he is. Most of us Lakers fans are sick of hearing this crap, DO NOT TRADE AWAY THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!
