According to NBA.com via Sports Illustrated, Kobe wants the Lakers to sign Sam Cassell from the Clips. I can see how that would work: All these draftees come in to prepare for the future, while Cassell helps the team win some games now.
I imagine it’d be devastating to Clippers fans to watch their team MVP go to the Lakers though, just after getting home court advantage and coming within a game of the Conference Finals!
