(AP)LOS ANGELES—Kobe Bryant sniffled again that he wants to be traded, writing on his Web site that "the Lakers and me just have two different visions for the future."
"When you love something as much as I love the Lakers its hard to even imagine thinking about being elsewhere."
The statement posted Sunday on kb24.com was the latest in a recent series of childlike comments from Bryant about whether he wants to remain in Los Angeles.

"But, the ONE THING I will never sacrifice when it comes to basketball is WINNING," the two-time scoring champion wrote.
"The more I thought about the future, the more I became convinced that the Lakers and me just have two different visions for the future." Oh, cry me river!
The 28-year-old Bryant, a nine-time All Star, has four years left on his 136 million dollar contract—but he can terminate it following the 2008-09 season. Or as soon as he finishes feeding off Dr. Jerry Buss' lactating teat!

The blog statement is consistent with reports this week that Bryant met with the team owner in Spain and reiterated his demand to leave the Lakers this summer.
The problem is, Bryant's statement was initially posted May30.
Bryant posted his blog that evening, after his whirlwind sports-talk radio tour in which he first demanded to be traded, then seemingly rescinded his demand.
The statement has remained near the top of Bryant's Web site for almost three weeks, the date of its posting changed periodically for no apparent reason.

If I want this kind of whining and complaining, I'll become a Heat's fan and let Shaq rant on.
Kobe, please, MAN-UP AND PLAY THE GAME!
