Even during Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom era he became good friends with those players AFTER they were traded to Lakers, he never showed any indication that he wants them to be traded to Lakers or made any moves about it. Kobe just wanted to play and beat everyone on his way, nothing else, he was a killer who didn't care about who he had in the team and who he wants to kick out, dude would have kicked half of the roster if he wanted to get rid of bad players.
Kobe threw a fit when he was drafted by the Hornets because he wanted to play Los Angeles. He DEMANDED a trade. Kobe has always been threatening the Lakers front office by demanded to be traded after the shaq years. Your making Kobe out to be someone that he wasn't
That is what I am going to say too.
Let us say he was given players which he didn't know quite well like his examples.
But he could tell which players he dont want to join in.
Just an example, what if Wade is really trying to be a Laker? Kobe would demand to not let it happen even if it would do good for the Lakers profit and another championship.
Why? Because it will threaten his position as the best player of the Lakers and might become the number 2.
That is how Kobe thinks.
