The feud between Laker teammates Shaquille O"Neal and Kobe Bryant is back on again.

It began again on Friday when O"Neal suggested to Bryant that he modify his game to better suit his teammates until he got in shape. Bruany countered by telling O'Neal to worry about his own game and then O"Neal came back with this.....

"He's right," O'Neal said, "he doesn't need advice on how to play his position, but he needs advice on how to play team ball. As we start this new season, [stuff's] got to be done right. If you don't like it, then you can opt out next year. If it's going to be my team, I'll voice my opinion. If he don't like it, he can opt out?. I ain't going nowhere."

Bryant can opt-out of his contract this summer and is expected to do so but not neccessarily to leave the Lakers.

"This," one Laker player said, "is going to get ugly."
