O 'Neill's ultimate reason for leaving the Lakers was his defeat in the value game with Kobe Bryant. The Lakers chose the future, not the present. There is a famous saying in NBA that the insider wins the world. At that time, O 'Neal could give the Lakers a championship with his invincible inside dominance, but because he and Kobe were exposed, it was inevitable that they would hate each other because of the comparison of the outside media. I hope I can prove that leaving the other team can also help the team win the championship. Over time, everyone has changed from the initial teenager to the absolute star of the NBA, and it is impossible to accommodate each other. Buss, the owner of the Lakers, resolutely made a big decision that affected the future trend of the Lakers, giving up O 'Neill's sacrifice to the team now, recruiting Jackson to train Kobe Bryant who is not yet full-fledged, so that Kobe Bryant can really learn to lead a team as a team leader to compete for the championship. The Lakers are betting on the future of the team, not the present. At first, Kobe couldn't let go of his aggressive heart, just wanted to use his own strength to reject a strong enemy. However, the Eagle County incident and the team's depressed state made him disheartened and suggested that he consider switching to another team. The team's top management didn't want to give up O 'Neal in a short time and lose the future protection of Kobe again, so they got Gasol with tactical fit to assist Kobe through the manager's contacts. After the fighting capacity of other members of the team was fully mobilized, Kobe saw a record rebound, which strengthened his belief and persistence as a team leader to lead the team forward. In the end, we saw that Kobe successfully led his own team to win the championship, not the OK team, but Kobe himself, and this year's successful defending, the Lakers had the last laugh, because their original decision was correct!

As for decision-making power, there are two types. One is that the employer can choose to keep the players according to the contract, or exchange players from other teams with equal salaries according to the principle of equal exchange. This is the mainstream trend. As the parents of teams and leagues, employers have the right to decide players' contracts. But there is one exception, that is, the absolute superstars of the league, who enjoy special rights. This kind of power has a scientific name of overlord clause, which is commonly known as overlord clause in NBA. Its full English name is no-traded clause, or NTC for short. That is, trading veto power. In layman's terms, having NEC clauses or privileges means that the permanent members have one veto power in the United Nations during the contract period performed by both parties.

Kobe Bryant is the only player in the league who has an NTC overlord clause in his contract, that is, a no-trade clause. In other words, the team can't trade Kobe as a bargaining chip without his consent. In other words, during the contract period, Bryant first has the right to choose a new owner, rather than passively waiting for the team to trade. To sum up, Kobe is special. He will not be mastered and controlled by the team. He is just being himself. If the team hadn't let Jackson out of the mountain in time and cultivated Kobe's heart, Kobe might still be a loser. Sometimes fate just casually passes you by, leaving a lonely self, my favorite, McGrady, flashing in my mind. He was ruined by himself. He didn't win.

I hope my answer can help!
