Kobe Bryant is not a fan of Rondo’s recent trade to the Dallas Mavericks, as he’s disappointed the Lakers didn’t trade for Rajon. Despite a nice Breakfast In Boston, Kobe just couldn’t help the former Celtic guard get nabbed by the LA Lakers…further details below!

“I really do trust management,” he reiterated. “I mean I really, really do. They’ll get things turned around pretty quickly. I’m not really concerned about that.”
Bryant admitted his disappointment in the Rondo development, as the recent recruiting breakfast that captured so many headlines in Boston and beyond was apparently for naught. Rondo is still set to be a free agent this summer, but the Mavericks are confident he will re-sign and it seems only a disastrous showing by Dallas can change that now. So, after the Lakers had inquired about a Rondo trade but ultimately lacked the assets to pull one off, was he disappointed to see him head for Dallas?
“Oh yeah,” said Bryant, who has insisted that he plans on retiring after next season. “Of course. Of course. But all you can do is control what you can control. We did our part. We did what we could. … It’s not from a lack of effort. It’s not from a lack of smarts, so I trust the process. It’s hard going through this (expletive), but our management will figure it out.”
