TMS, I will defend you on this one, because I know you have always been a kobe detractor, so I know you would not jump on the kobe bandwagon if he were to join the knicks, but one thing I would caution you about is to label someone a "rapist" especially when they were not convicted, that is such a harsh label to put on anyone. really bro.... it is...
i think u got me mixed up w/someone else... i've always been a Kobe fan

Posted by Queeniepop: The Knicks? Kobe apparently has determined that there wouldn't be enough talent left once Isiah sent half his roster to the opposite coast, and that he has no desire to insert himself into the internal turmoil that has gripped the Garden.
Bryant's agent, Rob Pelinka, did not return a phone call yesterday to give his take on things. But remember this: Pelinka also represents former Knick Channing Frye, who has been railing about the behind-the-scenes turmoil at the Garden since he was traded to Portland for Randolph on draft night. If Frye has been that open publicly, imagine what he's told Pelinka.
One thing Mrbury and Isiah have in common, "Fosterers Of Turmoil" have been their job titles at every stop on their resumes.
Once upon a time things were looking up in NY and I think players did want to come here. Eddy Chubby, Vince, Webber, to name a few. Isiah is a charmer and player's coach and guys wanted to be his friend. But the Knicks have become the butt of all NBA jokes and until things change dramatically (and I'm not just talking about a 42 win season) quality people will be very leary to join the food fight this place has become.

well,i don't know why kobe doesn't want to be a knick. the embarassment of the suit isn't shouldn't warrant a total dismissal of playing in new york. it is a market that is one of the biggest in the world and his exposure would be unbelievable. financially wise, i don't see any more options besides maybe chicago. to get him, we won't have to gut the team completely. we have enough assets to get it done that will compete with the dallas and chicago trade. marbury and rose could be attractive because of the cap flexibility the year of bron bron and flash. we also have young players like chandler, lee, crawford and robinson that would be very enticing to take. so if thomas would pursue full steam then i have faith that we would be in the mix and get kobe. a lineup like this:
It doesn't matter what KOME does on the court get that through your mind.
It's extemely hard for anyone to change my mind. I can't beleive I have to fight Knick fans just to get the idea of having Kobe here in NY. What is wrong with these people?!
What's wrong with you wasting your semen in a wet dream over a player who brings just as much baggage along with his play, who doesn't really want to be here? I mean as a fan wouldn't you want KOME to publicly say we are his Top Choice? Why aren't we his Top Choice we're the Mecca of basketball correct? He hasn't! Matter of fact when initial reports broke out with us being a distant 4-5th mention of his, we haven't heard anything from him or his camp that our team destination is a bigger desire of his. We're an afterthought at this point, yet you're tricking yourself like a tramp trying to make a quick buck thinking/hoping/wishing he'll come here.
You forced me to say that we're all stuck in a really hard ****'n place!!! Don't you agree? Damned if we do and damned if we don't! Everything is ****ed! Isiah might be a good draft picker, but it doesn't make up for all the ****ed up deals he's made otherwise!!! It's right on the border line of being a joke even talking about bringing anyone worth while here.
I'll never trust this' team again.

I find it funny that a guy who has been involved in rape allegations himself will complain about the turmoil in NY after he is creating a shytstorm in LA..
Who cares what channing frye says.. the guy needs to shut up, get tough and play ball...
Good, now we can forget kobe and move on..
Which is double whammy as to why you wanted him here in the first place. TKF he represents everything that's wrong about the league, his physical talents and abilities don't excuse those. He's crap character, and a terrible leader. Who cares about his 81pts and sick dunks let him rot in L.A. or go destroy another franchise. And as I said during the summer we don't have good enough Trash A.K.A. Scrubs to give up to get him. There's about 30 different players in this league I'd rather have than BLOWBE CRYANT!

I think you have it a little backwards there. Dolan & Isiah are destroying this' franchise. And it's a joke that you wouldn't want his 81 pts sick dunks. You'd be smoocing all over it if he was here. Granted, if I we could get LeBron or Carmelo, only then would I consider passing on Kobe. We'd not only get superstar tallent to build around, but one that doesn't carry baggage. Besides, Lebrons loves the Yankees. It would be perfect!
No I wouldn't, there isn't a player I despise more than KOME. He has many of the qualities Marbury has the only difference, he's more talented and played with the most dominant center of our generation. He had the best situation any second banana trying to become the 1rst banana one could have but it wasn't good enough for him. Just like his beautiful wife wasn't good enough for him. At least with Marbury he's never really been considered a winner, always was a bum but KOME chose to become a Marbury. Once Shaq left we saw the real KOME. We have what you call SELL OUT fans. We're so desperate now a days we want anything, a rapist who sells out his teammates, coaches, owners, and HOFers who cares "let's get him." Just imagine if our team won 3 championships with a chance to win a few more yet one player decides he wants to set his own franchise legacy by alienating his agenda from the team to establish a new era. And by doing so forces the hand of the ownership to choose his direction(although they didn't have to). Then proceeds to produce one terrible losing season 1rst yr, a so-so season the following yr, and a mediocre yr after that, then wants out. He's awful just awful.

Point taken but I don't mean for it to be taken as is more so that his actions put him in the category of a rapist. He more than likely forced himself on a girl after too much flirting and once it got going the girl probably was like oh no I can't handle this. Nevertheless his wife>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>that girl
yea, he should have been arrested for even messing with that chic after seeing his wife.. LOL.. really, that was a stupid and selfish move by kobe, but again, why does that not suprise me?
Think I'm really getting the point as to why some don't want Kobe in NY. I thougt it was settled in the courts, but maybe not in the publics eye. The hell with it.
