The politically correct Kobe Bryant has officially gone out of the window. For the past three seasons, Kobe Bryant has had nothing but positive things to say about the Los Angeles Lakers youth movement. Throughout that time, you could easily find quotes from Kobe Bryant talking about how the Los Angeles Lakers rebuilding effort was "a process" and that fans and media types would have to be "patient" with the youthful Los Angeles Lakers. But after two straight first round exits, Kobe Bryant has started to change his tone a bit. Here's what he had to tell the L.A. Times following his exit interview with Phil Jackson and Mitch Kupchak:
"I just told [Kupchak] this summer's about getting us to an elite level, doing whatever it takes to make it happen," Kobe Bryant said. "This is a competitive city. We're used to winning titles, not just winning games and being in the first round. We want to win championships. Now's the time.
"That's one of the things when I re-signed here, they promised they would build a contender and build a contender now. I don't want to have to wait any more than I already have."
Kobe's right. The Los Angeles Lakers have to be more aggressive than they have been. Other than picking Andrew Bynum with the 10th pick in the 2005 draft, the Los Angeles Lakers haven't really made any successful moves. And you can't both rebuild and try to win a championship at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. If you're going to keep a 29 year old Kobe Bryant as your focal point, you shouldn't be trying to develop Andrew Bynum. With Andrew Bynum's trade value as high as it is, the Los Angeles Lakers should get creative and try to bring some people in there that can help KB24 right away. I mean, if the Los Angeles Lakers were able to be as successful as they were, with that roster, and with the injuries they had to overcome, imagine how successful they would have been with another All-Star type player next Kobe Bryant. It's time to show us what you got, Mitch.
Best in show: Kobe Bryant does it all the playoffs like they breezed through the first three weeks and Bryant wins championship No. 4. When center Andrew Bynum returns next season, the Lakers will be even better. Factor in the team's youth -- point guard Derek Fisher is the only 30-something
Why the Lakers are dangerous Kupchak has slowly acquired good role players in the past few years. Even with injuries to big man Andrew Bynum and defensive ace Trevor Ariza, the Lakers still boast of Ronnie Turiaf, Sasha Vujacic, Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton and Chris Mihm. The Lakers

Lakers retain homecourt advantage with 111-104 victory games twice this season, once in November before the team had gelled and once in January after losing Andrew Bynum and before getting Gasol. And ultimately, despite Deron Williams' 27 points and 10 assists, turnover-prone Utah couldn't make it happen now
NBA Expert: Time to stop doubting Hornets yet. If he can be healthy, Portland can get in the mix. The Lakers with the return of Andrew Bynum next season look like the class of the West for the next several years. I wouldn't consider the Spurs too old yet with Parker and Ginobili. And the Hornets
