Kobe is leaving the Lakers. Well its not official, but it's pretty much destined to happen before the end of the trading period in February, if not sooner. Kobe has been skipping on practices, dodging reporters, and supposedly began to clean out his locker. The owner of the team at first would not even speak of trading Kobe, but now he is more up for the discussion, which foreshadows what is to come. Kobe can pretty much go to any team he wants, and 1 on his list right now is the Mavericks.
