Kobe Regrets Public 2007 Trade Demand Oct 24, 2009 5:50 PM EST Lakers star Kobe Bryant regrets that his 2007 trade demand became public. "The only thing I regret was how public it had to become," Bryant told the Orange County Register. "It was something that I'd been dealing with internally for quite some time and me wanting them to make moves, as was said to me (upon re-signing in 2004). Those things were not happening, it felt like I was just out there showcasing and doing my individual thing, and they had no aspirations to spend money to try to bring a championship here. "So I felt like something had to be said so we could get the ball rolling here. Get people to start talking about it, and the city becomes a little more impatient with the situation, and hopefully we'll get something done. And to their credit, they made a great acquisition in Pau (Gasol) and another great acquisition in Trevor (Ariza). They went out this summer and spent the money to get Ron (Artest) and locked in Lamar (Odom). To their credit, they did the right things." Less than two years after Bryant's trade request made national headlines, the Lakers won the 2009 NBA title. http://tinyurl.com/yfajana 翻譯： Kobe Bryant表示，他對於自己2007年公開要求被球隊交易一事感到後悔。 「我當時感到後悔的是，那件事最後居然會搞到路人皆知。」Kobe Bryant表示，「當時 我在內心掙扎很長一段時間，我那樣做只想讓球隊能為我招攬更多的幫手，就像是04年和 我續約時他們承諾的那樣。我只是表達我的看法並做我應做的事而已。當時我並沒有看到 球隊願意加大投資爭奪冠軍的表現。」看來當年的Kobe Bryant並非是真想離開湖人隊， 只是敦促球隊加緊建設罷了。 「後來我的言論引起了一定的迴響，球迷開始談論這件事給球隊施壓，來表達對陣容的不 滿，這是我所希望看到的。球隊後來便完成了Pau Gasol、Trevor Ariza這兩筆偉大的交 易。今夏他們找來Ron Artest，續約Lamar Odom都是十分正確的決定。」 Kobe Bryant威脅離隊的不到兩年時間，湖人隊就贏得了2009年NBA的總冠軍。 --
