I know Kobe wanted to be a big shot in the team, but it was hard for Kobe to be a big shot in O 'Neal's court. Despite this, the relationship between the two sides has improved and there is no conflict. However, this calm was broken by O 'Neill's stubbornness. After three consecutive championships, O 'Neill suffered a serious toe injury. In the summer at the end of the season, O 'Neill had to be treated early for next season's game. But O 'Neill refused treatment because O 'Neill played 67 games in the following season. That season, Kobe did well, but he didn't get rid of the strength of the Spurs in the second round of the Western Conference. This incident further aggravated the contradiction between the two. Next season, the Lakers.
O 'Neill helped the team win three consecutive championships, but at that time O 'Neill was 32 years old, and his strength declined sharply due to a leg injury. O 'Neill's first season in the Heat's trade helped the team win the first championship in team history, but that was only that season.
Needless to say, O 'Neill's strength, it is said that he helped the team achieve three consecutive championships, O 'Neill still has some chips to negotiate with the Lakers. Moreover, it is said that O 'Neal's contract was very high at that time, and the Lakers' top management actively retained Kobe Bryant. After all, Kobe was at the peak of his career. This is also a big reason why O 'Neill was traded, which can be said to provide a solid foundation for him to sign a house after sending O 'Neill away.
The Heat traded Odom, Butler and Grant for O 'Neal. Not only that, the Heat also issued the first signature in 2006 and the second signature in 2007 to the Lakers. O 'Neill was a big name at that time. Although Grant joined the Lakers to win the championship and retired, his performance at the end of his career was really not bright, and he only cut Grant for one season. Butler performed relatively well. In 2004-05, Butler became the first scorer after Kobe Bryant. Odom can be said to be the best player the Lakers bought at that time. Odom got three sets of data for seven consecutive seasons after entering the Lakers, helping the team win the championship twice.
