Yea I mentioned this trade when Phil came on board. The general perception is that Kobe is a laker lifer, like Jeter but I think it's a possibility. Lakers did Kobe right by giving him his money and now they will will be doing right by putting him on a cd tender with none other than his boys Phil & Derek

why do we need kobe? We have shumpert.

One is NOT like the other. Kobe even at 36 can average 20 per game still and would be the only player on the team that knows the triangle first hand. He'll make it in one piece out of that contract for sure, and if it only took Amare and lets say Larkin...you do it.

Ok the shumpert thing was sarcasm but I still have zero interest in Kobe.

No issues there, I'm not clamoring for him, but if he became available for this group I'd be interested. They'll need an on the court person who knows the system. It's why Phil was interested in Odom and Pau....they'll need an on the court coach.

The problem is that Kobe would be a cancer on this team. We need camaraderie not an azzhole.

That's over blown. Kobe is a competitor. He wants to win and he's a winner. He demands that from his teammates and he leaves it all of there. I don't like him but let's not be ridiculous. He's 35 sin to be 36. He's still the best 2 guard in the league.

It's not likely but possible. If this were to happen it would be game on.

agree with this but lakers are going to retire him, not trade him under any circumstances

But dude...he sucks! Clearly JR Smith is better.
