The New York Post's Peter Vecsey reported Thursday the Pacers were close to a deal sending Jermaine O'Neal to the Lakers in a package that could include forward Lamar Odom and center Andre Bynum. This very report, in fact, could well have been the reason Bryant opted to recant his trade request because it gave him reason to believe the Lakers were serious about acquiring some legitimate help. "I didn't read Peter's story," said Bird. "You hear a lot of rumors this time of year. We've always said we'll move any player on our team if we think it can make us better. Jermaine's been a big part of our success here over the years and he's a very talented player. You would hate to give up on someone like that unless you got something back in return that's very, very good. I hear Kobe wants to leave L.A., so maybe we can talk." Kobe, or not Kobe? 看来是个谣言,把莫非跟小邓发挥实力,以後才好交易 --
