He also need to get more mature, because admit or not, Lakers need Kobe.

Maybe switching cities to wear a different team's jersey for the 2008 season, but it all seems like too big of a hassle right now. Think of all the headaches it must be for the guys over in LA listening to this garbage day in, day out. It's bad for us sports fans who are already tired of hearing and reading about it. Back to the point: if I were Chicago, I wouldn't want Kobe Bryant to be suiting up in a white/red Bulls jersey after giving away huge talents in Ben Gordon (and I know the upcoming player wasn't in the 'package', but speaking hypothetically, consider it), Luol Deng, and Tyrus Thomas. I love the Bulls' young team and just believe it would be idiotic for them to throw it away for a guy that's hitting his 30s in August '08.

He's a veteran, but he's ugly and his career 9 points and 3 assists per game are'nt going to do much i dont think Fisher is a reason to stay anywhere.

It will be fascinating to watch him on another team, and equally fascinating to see what his new teammates think of him and how that dynamic will all play out. Wherever he goes, someone will lose shots...and that just creates new issues for the media to report on...and on...and on.

As you said, it will be hard to trade him later, and they won't advance deep in the playoffs without chemistry. The one-man team was great entertainment, but at some point, you have to put success over entertainment. I think the Lakers have to get Kobe out.
