He wants his own team, to be the main leader and not have to share spotlight with Shaq. I can understand this.

Even if he gets a team "built around him" there's still a question of good coaching. Even with the combined firepower of Kobe and Shaq, LA really only began to ignite with the addition of Phil Jackson.
Which really brings the larger issue to mind--it is a rare combo of players, circumstance, the right coach, and finances that produce a championship franchise.
