Kobe spoke for about three minutes in the presentation, said he envisioned LaMarcus Aldridge working with him the same way Pau Gasol did.
lol....
Why are they bringing Kobe to these...
By Mamba Go To Postlol….This is much more of a damning quote:
Why are they bringing Kobe to these…
RT @Mike_Bresnahan: More LMA: He and Kobe didn't quite gel. It's a little vague, but Aldridge apparently didn't quite get answers from Kobe he was seeking.
By Mamba Go To PostThe Lakers took Russell because they like him more than Okafor. Had nothing to do with signing a big.
Lakers need to ignore DAJ. Mostly cuz I don't want him, but they aren't getting him. Go after guys like Lopez and Harris. Build up some blocks.
I know. I even said Russell was the right choice...just extra extra salty right now.
By Forever Go To PostWe're being linked to T-Rob again. He's finally coming here like he always wanted.
Hinkie mindfucked T-Rob like I said he would.
Hinkie is a butt. But TRob enjoyed his time here with coach Brown...we just also happen to have like 80 bigmen so there really isnt any place for him now. Great Kid and hard worker..hope he finds his home.
By Vahagn Go To PostSomething something it's Kobe's fault.Kobe being on the team is a legit bball concern at this point in his career
Because if anyone is pitching "outside opportunities instead of basketball vision" it's Kobe Bean Bryant
By psychintellect Go To PostT rob feels disrespected?lol
Who cares? He's fucking trash.
times have indeed changed
You're not gonna sell a 30 year old on LA's roster and plan going forward.
"You spend a season basically not doing much but losing and then hopefully Russell/Randle/Clarkson get better and we get a FA next offseason to REALLY start competing"
Nope.gif allday

By DY_nasty Go To Postwe havent fukt up yet wooooooooooooooo
Haven't fucked up yet today you mean
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostHaven't fucked up yet today you meanOr this week. Although, he did say 'yet'.
maybe T-Rob coming home and to a front office group that's literally driven the franchise into the ground because of how loyal they are might give him enough passion to become a super josh smith

RT @Mike_Bresnahan: Aldridge was floored in a good way by Houston's analytics, on-court projections in their presentation. Not so with the Lakers.
The lakers have an asstastic basketball situation and no Analytics.
As I said in a previous post, the Spurs saved themselves from irrelevancy by trading for and developing Kawhi. It ain't Kobe's fault that he's going ok 20 years with a broken body and the team hasn't scouted and found the gems that SA has.
What's Kobe gonna say? I'll take PED's and play 4th fiddle? The team isn't poised to compete, why the fuck are you wasting everyone's time with a win now player like LMA when your entire starting lineup is Kobe and dudes not 21 yet
T-Rob is the most butthurt I've ever seen a dude adjusting to the NBA
you've been on four different teams in your first 3 years? boo-fucking-HOO Luke Ridnour, a serviceable vet, just changed teams four times IN A FUCKING WEEK
suck it up, bitch and go sleep on your bed made of undeserved millions

By fertygo Go To Post"So.. Kobe gonna still take 20 shot"Since English isn't your first language, I'm going to assume that the pun was unintentional, but it's so good.
LMA: "Pass"
Let's be real: until Kobe retires, nobody knows what to expect from the Lakers. He hinders them in that regard alone, especially since he will attempt to play again next season.
lol Kobe. Dude needs to GTFO already. I'm going to feel like Knux if the Lakers sign Kobe to one more season, I don't give two shits if Kobe is paying them to play. 20 years, GTFO. Kthxbye.
Morey was in there showing him how he was going to take 5 less shots a game but average 5 more points and how he was going to have more rest to defend due to the ridiculous overall free throw rate the team would enjoy
i'd have just signed right then and there
i'd have just signed right then and there
lma should've brought up bball reference on his phone and humble kobe by showing him his ws/48 from last season
By db Go To PostI'd say Kobe hinders matters more than he helps.and mitch isn't the best salesman.
the lakers FO really is inept when it comes to locking up FA.
By reilo Go To PostLet's be real: until Kobe retires, nobody knows what to expect from the Lakers. He hinders them in that regard alone, especially since he will attempt to play again next season.
I just don't see how it's his fault that our basketball situation is worse off than SA's and Houston's. Our championship core aged and the FO didn't adjust quickly enough. Without Kawhi, the Spurs championship window would have been closed years ago and everyone would be retiring now.
Can't have a shitty basketball situation then blame the guy in year 20 coming off multiple surgeries.
Not having the answers he's looking for is probably Kobe's future. I doubt Kobe retiring or not retiring would sway LMA from returning home on a contender. That's the kind of confirmation bias nonsense that makes no sense to me
You can't see how Kobe alienates his own team mates and makes for a generally shitty environment to play in?
By K@do Go To Postand mitch isn't the best salesman.ehhh, when the team was good it had no problem.
the lakers FO really is inept when it comes to locking up FA.
The team sucks and until it doesn't suck, stars won't come. This is true for every team. Howard didn't even consider houston until the Harden trade, for example.
It's the way it is. You need to draft or trade for a star first. then other pieces can fit.

Without Kawhi, the Spurs championship window would have been closed years ago and everyone would be retiring now.But it's partly shitty because of Kobe. I don't understand how you are discounting that. I lied. I actually do understand how.

lolol. kobe is something else.
By db Go To PostYou can't see how Kobe alienates his own team mates and makes for a generally shitty environment to play in?
LMA is about to up and leave your team because he's looking for a better more competitive one and you think the third worst team in the league is unattractive mainly because Kobe's mean sometimes? Da fuck
By K@do Go To Postcan't blame kobe for being there, but you can blame the front office for inviting him.in kobe's mind that is the best compliment of all time
"you can be my pau gasol?"
lolol. kobe is something else.
kawhi was important but duncan was the best player on the team that should have chipped before rayallencorner3.gif
kobe hasn't been able to fend off a lebron led team in years regardless of talent

You're delusional if you don't think players take into consideration how much of a controlling douche another player happens to be. And they bring his ass to the meeting too.

The lakers did adjust in time stern just shitted on ya'll to appease the small market owners and you guys traded for Nash's corpse to compensate

Lebron just left his best friends in Miami to return home and LMA is leaving his only franchise for a more competitive one in his home state and the problem is Kobe is mean sometimes.
Ok got it.
You're delusional if you think Kobe at age 25 with a team that just lost the CF would scare away LMA. That's what Harden is.
Instead Kobe's old, done, broken down, on a horrible team. That's the issue, not him being mean.
Kevin Love just opted in despite hating Cleveland, never fitting in, and being publicly insulted by Lebron and benched in 4th quarters because he wants to win.
That's all people care about. That's what the Spurs and Houston can offer that LA can't.

"Kobe is mean sometimes" is a nice euphemism for a control freak who's a complete liability and detriment to his team.
Tell me: How come the Lakers had trouble adjusting in time? Rolled the wrong dice? Or is it because Kobe is a giant albatross that is holding the franchise back in many ways?
LMA most definitely is still debating whether to pick the Lakers if Kobe hadn't taken a giant shit on Dwight's chest.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwasnt phil supposed to bring in free agents
Phil is likely waiting on LMA and Monroe (probably more monroe) to make their decision. Almost all the rumors of guys they've actually talked to in one regard or another haven't signed anywhere yet so all the pieces are up in the air waiting for the big piece to drop first
By Vahagn Go To PostI don't think someone whose understanding of offense begins and ends with a quote someone said in an interview should be talking.
Some people pore through statistical analysis, some people pore through contracts, I pore through playbooks. It is what it is
Maybe you should go through some reading comprehension books too.

Because our CP3 trade was nixed? Because Kobe tore his Achilles 2 months before FA and Nash broke his let and Houston had a more competitive team for Dwight and we hired the coach Dwight didn't want?
Literally a million things went wrong. But 20 year veteran Kobe surrounded by rookies not being a contender is hardly his fault. It's to be expected. And friendships don't mean shit.
Lebron doesn't leave Miami and LMA doesn't entertain leaving Portland if they did
By SamuraiX- Go To Postcheck yoself vagUnnecessary.
Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne now
There was no talk of black swans or white swans;) Kobe just said he thought they'd be great together & compared it to the game he & Pau ran
That's not so bad...
By db Go To Post"Kobe is mean sometimes" is a nice euphemism for a control freak who's a complete liability and detriment to his team.Eh. In terms of LMA wanting to go to a competitive team, that's not too much if an issue.
It's the fact that the Lakers are a dumpster fire.
By Mamba Go To PostThat's not so bad…I get Ramona is an insider but it's quite clear she's getting the positive spin from the Lakers camp. Everyone else is contradicting her.
