...that takes the Bonds bait. It's bad enough we'll have to suffer through his trial, unless he takes an unexpected plea. Do we also want to see him sitting in a San Francisco courtroom by day, and catching a charter to a game by night, a la Kobe Bryant during his 2004 rape case? (The charges against Bryant were later dismissed.) Of course not. And if that kind of spectacle drives fans crazy, imagine how it could destroy a clubhouse.

Kobe can dictate those terms because he happens to be the only player in the entire league with a comprehensive no-trade clause. Kobe has made his intentions clear by sulking through the pre-season, and ripping apart Mitch Kupchak, the Laker general manager, and teammate Andrew Bynum, to a couple of college-aged kids in a parking lot (they caught the rant on video). During the NBA's opening week, there was Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on ESPN saying...
