Jerry Buss: 'Kobe's not untouchable'

Jerry Buss, owner of Lakers/ drunk and high driver, had a chat with the folks at the LA Times and didn't say anything crazy. He said he'll listen to trades for Kobe, including a possible sign and trade if KB24 wants out. As a Laker fan, it's sad that the biggest issue is still will-he won't-he Kobe BS. No talk about good a healthy Kobe and Odom should be. Nothing on how Fisher will settle that backcourt and be an excellent mentor to Farmar and Javaris. Nothing on how Vlad Rad had a broken finger on his shooting hand last year and that he should be better. Not a word on how useless Brian Cook is. Bah, I'll have my Western conference predictions up soon (possibly in a netcast). But a Kobe trade won't happen any time soon, so let's stop the madness.
