Looks like things are still a bit messy between Kobe & Dwight?! I’m not sure what everyone expects Kobe to say, but by saying what he did made it seem like he really could care less what happens to Dwight Howard. If he wanted Dwight on the team, he definitely would have said it.

According to teammate Kobe Bryant, it really doesn’t matter if Dwight Howard is shopped or not. Yikes.
Per the LA Times:
“Howard said Friday that Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak had told him he would remain with the team through Thursday’s trade deadline. On Sunday, Bryant said ‘it doesn’t matter’ what his team does with the six-time All-Star. ‘I don’t know what they are going to do,’ Bryant said Sunday at Toyota Center after helping the West defeat the East, 143-138, in the All-Star game. ‘But at this point …, it doesn’t matter. what matters to us is what we do on Wednesday [against the Boston Celtics] and go from there. That’s the most important thing. That’s my message to the team is that you can’t worry about the future, you can’t worry about the past, you just have to focus on the present and we really have to maximize every single game.’”
