That's what Beucher said. From the looks of it, ESPN tried to trade Kobe the entire off season. Now they're riding his hanes.

What really tipped me off about how terrible they are about news is, they never get trades before they happen like other sources, and at one point one of their guys was trying to report trades from a third party source. If they're the leader in sports, why are they relying on third party sources for news?

Don't get me wrong, I believe Kobe the crybaby (in the summer) used Beucher the tool to say what he wanted in the summer, but once he shut up, ESPN kept the garbage going, even when Kobe wised up and kept quiet.

The trade fiascal was a much larger monster than it should've been because they ran rampant for news they didn't really have. What Beucher said was just as bad as Jack Haley's "it's a done deal Carlos Boozer is now a Laker" statement.
