According to ESPN .... Read the full article by clicking link below:
Bryant began his career at Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pa., wearing No. 24. But by 1996 -- the year he led the school to the state championship -- he had switched to No. 33, the number his father Joe "Jelly Bean" Bryant wore in high school.
In order for a player to change jersey numbers at will, he either has to change teams or have the team inform the league of the decision more than six months in advance. Players who stay with the same team must have worn the same number for four seasons or longer. Sources say the Lakers informed the league of Bryant's wish to change his number by this year's March 3 deadline.

he wants more money. Everyone has his jersey when he was number 8. He wouldnt have been making a lot of money in merchandise. If he changed his number, people would run out, buy them, and he would make money. I wouldnt be surprised if he changes his number again by the 2008-2009 season.
when: between the end of the 05-06 season & the 06-07 season.
