(NBA) Kobe Bryant first wants out of Los Angeles, then later reconsiders

Kobe Bryant dropped a bombshell on the rest of the NBA when he announced on ESPN Radio in New York that he would like to be traded. However, he had a slight change of heart on another radio show, saying that he "hopes to get things worked out" to stay in Los Angeles. The questions are: Will Kobe stay in Los Angeles? Who would be willing to deal for Kobe Bryant? What would Los Angeles consider to be fair value for a player like Kobe?

Obvoiously teams like Minnesota should be in the "Kobe Bryant Sweepstakes." I started to imagine Kevin Garnett in a Laker uniform, but now we may have to imagine Kobe in a Timberwolves Jersey. New Jersey also could go after Kobe if they lose Vince Carter or Jason Kidd.

Los Angeles didn't get fair value for Shaquille O'Neal, and they will definitely will make sure they don't get a repeat performance with Kobe Bryant.
