Kobe got what you need. $21,000 of Cristal to be exact. TMZ reports that Kobe Bryant ran up a $21,000 tab at the BLUSH Boutique in Vegas Friday night. He saw poker player Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari buy two bottles of $1400 Cristal and decided to one up him by throwing down for five bottles. The Magician responded with 10 bottles. Kobe wasn't going to be shown up for the bitch he is when it comes to trade talk. He threw down for 15 bottles and left the club. I can't imagine Kobe cheated on the whole crowd that night and was trying to make it up to them Nessa-style. Maybe he thought he would do what Shaq does for a change. Maybe he figured he could beat a poker player since he can't beat Lakers management.

... with Agent Zero moving the other way. Most seem to think that a move to the Bulls is inevitable but an unnamed GM familiar with the Bryant talks thinks a Lakers-Wizards trade could happen. This seems like a long shot as a one for one trade would be highly unlikely. Smith notes that the Lakers would also want a power forward which the Wizards don't have. Bryant also has a no-trade clause and hasn't expressed any interest in going to DC. Arenas is talking about opting out of his contract after this season. He's from Los Angeles and has become a star, one of the league's highest-scoring players and an engaging personality who would embrace the Hollywood scene. He would meet the Lakers' demands for an All-Star player if they trade Bryant. On the other hand, Bryant would find it hard to go from hanging at Teddy's to kicking it with the douchebags at Lauriol Plaza. I just don't see Kobe dropping $21,000 on jello shots ...

I wish that I had a dollar for every time someone says that Team USA's previous losses in FIBA play were primarily caused by a lack of shooters on the roster. This is simply not true. Team USA played poor defense in those events, which also meant that they could not generate very many fast break points. With Kobe Bryant and Jason Kidd on the team, this is no longer a problem.
