LA Lakers - Steve Nash Will Save The LA Lakers

[240 is Back]

why would the Knicks want to take on a contract like that, for a ball hog who is 80% as good as Carmelo... and 20% as durable?

If anything, Move kobe to a DAL or soemthing.

Laker for life

There is absolutely no foundation for that article.  It is just the uneducated opinion of writer.  The writer says "it may happen".  Oh really, based on what source?  Have the Lakers talked about trading Kobe? Absolutely not.  Has Kobe talked about wanting to go elsewhere?  Absolutely not, quite the opposite.  Has the writer of this article been in contact with any of the parties that would be involved in this imaginary trade?  Absolutely not.

So just because the writer says it makes sense that somehow translates into Kobe wanting to go to the Knicks.  Please give your anti-Kobe propaganda war a rest.  Not liking someone is one this but this is a smear campaign based of flat out lies and it's really tired.  Just like ESPN you are counting of the fact that most people don't know the truth and won't care to fact check things on their own.  In that environment a baseless accusation is as good as the truth.

Kobe has a lot of heart.  A TON of heart.  I'll give him that.  Many people who are dicks - they're dicks because they want success more than they want air.  So I get that.  He won't' settle for 99% from anyone else on the court.

But at some point, if the lakers mgmt tells him they are gonna tank it for the #1-5 pick... does he just decide he's inured and take the year off too, ala Nash?

They won't tank. Kobe will just be Kobe, the Lakers will suck,  Kobe will collect his money.

Hmmm... He "wont' push" for a trade, but won't reject one either?


Kobe Bryant says he won’t push for trade from Lakers

Some quotes from that exact article....

“I hear the chatter of Kobe should ask out and he should go and play for a contender in this latter stage of his career,” Bryant told Yahoo Sports. “But that’s not what I do. I’m extremely loyal to the Lakers.

"“I’ve enjoyed a great amount of success here. You can’t just enjoy the successful times and then run away from the bad ones. No, I don’t even think about [departing]. I’m a Laker.”

[240 is Back]

Bryant is trolling!

"People keep saying I should go play for a better team and release the lakers from my albatross contract, but no no no, I could never ever do such a thing".

"I've enjoyed time here, I don't even think about leaving, this is my home, I'm a laker, I'm not pushing for a trade, no way, just waxing poetic and pondering, I'm way too happy here...."


Look, it's like when your girlfriend jokes about a 3-way and you respond with "baby, that's just crazy talk, no way.... Unless you serious..."

No team is going to take on his bullshit contract.

ehhh I wouldn't put it past some team to get creative.  maybe re-structure it, maybe they get so much from LA in return that it's worth it.  Support Lakers give up their #1 this year if someone takes Kobe with it... and they use Free Agency (with a WIDE OPEN piggy bank) to get 2-3 really good players next year?   

I don't see the Lakers being 4-25 without Kobe being a MAJOR pain in the ass there.

Kobe aint going anywhere.
Kobe will not take pride in winning in cleveland or chicago.

[Ronnie Rep]

Heat will finish  3 or 4  in the East without Lebron.

[Quickerblade]

About now is when Byron Scott will hope Head office does not call him.

Kobe playing 44mins is going to rupture something soon.

0-5, hopefully get the 1st pick in the draft.

This team wont make it out of the second round.  We need to get rid of Chalmers fast!!!  He's a turnover machine!  Second unit is trash.  Oh well, next to the Lakers , we look good.  No point in tanking, I think Cleveland or some other team has the Heat's 1st round pick this year, but not sure.

Word.  Lets tank the season. 

I don't want to give up that top 5 protected pick to Phoenix.  Fuck them.

Kobe hurdling the front row. Is he desperately trying to get injured?

Nice to see Portland anally raping lebron and friends.

Cavs will start blitzing the NBA when lebron decides to stop getting teammates involved.
No Dwade this time.
kyrie is not a shooter, love has to be a super role player.

Portland will have a great season and flame out.

yea i bet he said the same shit about his wife  - "I'm extremely loyal to my wife"

yeah... last night, Kobe has 39 points on 36 shots or something, in a Loss?

You know he's miserable.  Playing 43 minutes, he's up for injury any night now.  He's got 20 years of high level ball on those legs, up against thirsty dudes half his age.  it's not sustainable for another 5 months.

ESPN.com headline "But sometimes being a leader means letting those around you fail"

Yes I'm sure LeBron scored 11 points and let the Cavs get their asses kicked on purpose as an exercise in leadership.

Cavs should be 0-3.

[BDsauce]

I'll swap Kobe for soft ass Derrick Rose...

Least with Kobe's last two years, the Bulls would have an easy road to the Finals.

So done with Rose, dude softer than Flex Wheeler's glutes.

Rose has been cleared to play, he just refuses to play.
Team doctors say "You're OK" he just says NO.
His a dud.

well, they stayed together , even if he cheated on her, so...he 's right.

Not sure why they though Irving, Lebron and Love would be a good fit.  Seems to be too much overlap in their roles and not enough complimentary play.  Meanwhile Bosh was player of the week last week and is playing like a monster without Lebron.  Go figure.

[Quickerblade]

Lebron is just happy to lose at 'Home'
He was 'homesick' what a moron.


If Rose missed another game then
I believe he has more then a "Rolled Ankle"
