Everyone knows that this season in the NBA has proven to be a difficult one for the Lakers. People can blame things like the change in the coach, the change in the team chemistry, or the overall bad energy because of all the recent losses. However, according to an article named "Who Ultimately Will Win Between Kobe Bryant and Mitch Kupchak?", all-star Kobe Bryant blames the Lakers' manager, Mitch Kupchak for creating rumors of Pau Gasol's trade, which has caused negative energy in the team. Though this may be far-fetched, it is exactly the type of rumor that is eligible of disrupting a team's chemistry.
Kobe needs to shut his mouth and do what he does best- win games. He is in charge of the aspect of the Lakers, and Kupchak is in charge of the management section. Kobe wanted out of the Lakers a few years back, and after Kupchak refused to do so, the Lakers won two championships. Kobe wanted Bynum to leave the Lakers for Jason Kidd, that did not happen, and Bynum proved to be a great attribute to the team. The point is that Kobe may be in control with what happens on the court, but Kupchak needs to control the business off the court. When they stop interfering with one another, the Lakers might start to win.
