Is Kobe Fed Up With the Lakers?

According to Stephen A. Smith, Kobe Bryant is a lot angrier with Laker management than he's willing to publicly let on.
I've spoke to several people in the league, believe it or not Kobe does have an abundance of friends in this league contrary to popular belief and they all said to me, you know what, he is completely disgusted and you can't even measure the level of hostility he's feeling towards the Lakers organization right now.

[...]

He has absolutely no problem leaving if the Los Angeles Lakers, specifically owner Jerry Buss doesn't get his act together. Do not be surprised at all if this stuff continues if Kobe Bryant some time around next year is asking to be traded.
Kobe's disinterest in helping the Lakers rebuild slowly is nothing new. He wants to win now. If Laker GM Mitch Kupchak plans on sleeping soundly over the next couple of years, he better start furiously working the phones and get Bryant some real help. These 'Kobe is angry' stories -- no matter how far-fetched they may be -- aren't going away anytime soon.
