I think what you mean is next season that starts October 29.
Here are the reasonable destination for Kobe:
Chicago Bulls - for Gordon, Luol Deng and Nocioni. I think it would be a fair trade. Kobe would be happy for playing for a team that has a better chance of winning than the Lakers. The Lakers might like it if they have no choice and Kobe really wants out. But the Bulls might not like the idea. The Chicago Bulls have a solid core of young players in Ben Gordon, Nocioni, Deng and Hinrich. They have playoff experience and developed chemistry. In short, they have a thing going already and John Paxson might not want to break that up. If the Bulls are aiming for long-term success, then it would be better for them to keep their young talents and aim for a quality low-post scorer. If they want to sell tickets, then get Kobe.
Knicks - they can also trade Kobe to the Knicks for maybe Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford, Eddy Curry and maybe a few picks. The Knicks would like it but I don't think the Lakers would. They might not be attracted in the Knicks' package but there's really no one else in the Knicks that could possibly make the Lakers a better team.
Houston - for T-mac and Luther Head. Kobe is better for Houston than T-mac if they want to get deeper in the playoffs. T-mac is getting more of a team-player now and the Lakers might like that for a change.
Clippers - for Correy Maggette and Shaun Livingston. I think it's a win-win situation for both LA teams.
These are the quite possible and reasonable trades for Kobe. (Considering the talent values and salaries)

Let him stay in Los Angeles. From a salary cap perspective, a trade based on his remaining years of his contract, only like 2 - 3 teams can make such a move fr his services. Even if they made this type of move, the trades made in return player-wise will not balance out. The management of the LA Lakers need to dump players who are not producing and go after needed players in order to effectively run the triangle offense. They need a better distributor of the ball and a secondary scoring option to get Kobe's numbers in line with this offensive system. The team needs to keep Bynum, Walton and Turaf and maybe Smush Parker. Everyone else - cut the dead weight and get Kobe some help.

It is going to be Los Angelos. The reason Kobe is voicing his disappointment is because yes he is having arguments with managers but also because the Lakers are a bad team that will not win for a while. Kobe has a no trade clause so he is not going to go to a team like the knicks or the clippers. He also won't go to the rockets because why would he want to share the ball with Yao. He did not like sharing it with Shaq.
And the Rockets and Bulls won't give as much as Intzki says. It has been proven that Kobe can't win it by himself, he needed Shaquille O'neal. The Bulls won't give up Their future allstars, Deng and Gordon, for Kobe. The Rockets won't give up McGrady because because they have a good core with him and Yao. Each year they have gotten better and Kobe will just make them worse.

Next year Kobe will still be a laker, simple because they are no one in the NBA value to him. second no one in LA go to game to see the lakers or because they are wining. They want to see Kobe and Jerry Buss is not stupid to loose all that money. The lakers are going to bend over for him that 's what's going to happen.

He will Be in New York Knicks. He will be traded to Knicks for Frye, Robinson, Francis and 1st round pick. I think it a good deal and plus Kobe have friend in NY with Marbury and Jamal.

Most likely the LA Clippers.
He says that he wants to be traded and next minute he says that the Lakers are his team, so I guess if he wants to be traded, he'll still want to play at Staples Center.

He's staying in LA for this year.
You can't get equal value in a trade.
