bosox Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'll post a link once I find one, but it was just reported on ESPNEWS that Kobe Bryant will stay with the Los Angeles Lakers.EDIT: No articles, but on Yahoo it says that he did accept the Lakers $126 million offer.

Waffles Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 How much easier do you think Mitch Kupchak is going to sleep tonight?Although I wonder if there's a clause where the Lakers get their money back if Kobe's convicted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 come on people. Kobe signing with the Lakers is huge news. Dont complain about a thread for it, even if you are an NBA fan or not. I mean we have a thread for every single NHL player that signs the smallest of deals and its the smallest of all big 4 leagues. This is one of the biggest stars in all of sports.

Saintsfan Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Dang it my finger is not on the pulse of all things Lakers. First I say Shaq won't get traded and then he does and then I say Kobe will still go and then he re-signs! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodsep Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'm sorry for all you Lakers Fans but the "Late Show" is over. They are the fifth best team on the west right now. Steven A Smith said it on ESPN you have the Wolves, Spurs, Rockets, Kings and then the Lakers. Not to mention up and comers like the Nuggets, Jazz and Grizzlies. And let's not forget the new kids on the block the New Orleans Hornets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yea, the Lake show is not on. Shaq is no longer there, and let's remember what happen to Penny Hardaway after Shaq left.Plus remember, just because Kobe signed doesn't mean he will be playing for them come the second half and playoffs next year.It seems the Lake show is over.

See Red Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Here's what the Lakers line up could look like.Gary PaytonKobe BryantCaron ButlerLamar OdomBrian GrantI wouldn't say that's too terribly bad of a line up. Of course, it could be differentHowever, if that were to be the lineup --Gary Payton doesn't have the restrictions of the triangle offense which anybody with any brains knew he wouldn't fit into to begin with. Gary Payton can now create shots, and post up on the point guards defending him which has been, other than defense, his strength his entire career. Not to mention, playing for a coach he actuallt likes may actually give Gary Payton the motivation to play defense this year.Caron Butler was a 15 ppg guy in his rookie season and although that took a hit this past season, he can very well get back to that form. Caron is a very good player, who can get to the hoop and now has a decent three point shot.Lamar Odom was a stud this year out of his position. He averaged 17 points and just under 10 rebounds per game.And Brian Grant has, in the past, been a 9 or 10 rebound guy.Kobe Bryant does have a very good supporting cast, and they also have Rush and Walton and they were very good players off the bench.I wouldn't worry too much about the Lakers. And I'd quit listening to what the media has to say about the Lakers because they're never right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's not forget the new kids on the block the New Orleans Hornets. And Stephen A. Smith himself said the Hornets wouldn't even make the playoffs. And who remembers Stephen A. Smith saying the Finals wouldnt go any more than 5 games? Well, he WAS right on how many games. But he also picked the Lakers.Stephen A. Smith is guessing -- his guesses are a little more educated than ours -- but what have the Kings ever done in the playoffs? And where were the Mavericks on his list?

TLChandler Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yeah and the Blazers with Theo in their starting lineup aren't exactly pushovers anymore. I believe they were somewhere around 20-13 with him in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
