Hilarious. There should be a separate thread for the Kobe fans. This **** is ridiculous.

On the negative side, the Cap has been at 57-58 mil for the past 4 years.
You snag Melo and you're right at 50 mil in the next off-season with Kobe's deal and this year's pick.
A 2nd max deal is out of the question until Kobe retires.
So they miss out on max players in the '15 free agency class which includes Kevin Love, Rondo, & Aldridge.
On the plus side, they're set up for Durant in '16.

Yyyyyyyyeeep!!! I've annoyed so many people who I could totally tell were trying to get at me, so we get into this verbal 'thing', and they storm off. #feelsgoodmanas someone who has been told "you dont seem to care about much" one too many times, I can tell you that saying "i honestly dont care" when I actually dont care is a great feelingIt's not so much me passing up as many chicks as I score on... as much as it is getting passed on like 8 times as many chicks as I score on.
as long as you pass up on as many chicks as you score
Excellent father, great w/ kids, which brings them in... then they realize I'm a jerk, and search for dambs regularly, and can't ever find any. Then it's curtains. And no dambs are given about that, either. I've got a healthy, happy son. Literally need, or care about, nothing else.
I'm like you; I've have had all kinds of people tell me I'm super chill, unflappable, don't care don't care don't care. I don't get pissed, like ever, don't let things bother me, don't care about the opinions of people who don't have my best interest in mind, and generally maintain a playful sarcasm that is often mistaken for arrogance, which I'm also ok with.
CP: man, that whole myth about single dads pulling chicks is exactly that: a myth. You're married, right? Wear a ring, right? Even if you're not and you don't, chicks can tell you're taken, so they flock. Not the same if they know you're on the prowl.

Telling a top 3 player in the history of your franchise to kick rocks is never a good look. Plus, just kobe by himself would bring in money for the lakers so if we're talking business wise it always makes sense.
Honestly if there were some big FAs i would feel differently, but there's nobody for us in 14, and Love in 15 if he decides to opt out.
I guess I'm just not surprised

That's the thing, nobody really is. Most people are just dealing with it.

So much more respect for Dirk, KG and Duncan who took pay cuts for the benefit for the team.
I needed Kobe to take that route.
You are worth what someone will pay for you. Mitch overpaid and Kobe signed happily.
WORST CASE SCENARIO for me....If we take this team, sign Pau to an extension and go after and get Melo. :x :x

They can still offer a 2nd max deal. Depends on Nash though.

and i dont see them giving the Max to anyone but Lebron. [ Hell NO to Melo ]
I can see them going after Bledsoe, Monroe or Hayward in 2014.
2 more years of Kobe >>>>> 5 years of Melo :x

Jerry Buss is rolling in his grave right now. And it's a damn shame.

I can almost promise that if we have Melo and Kobe on the same team, you guys will virtually never hear from me.
Like L2B keeps saying, it's not like ANYTHING we speculate/hope for/create in here matters at ALL, but the talk I support in here is any and all talk pertaining to Rondo and Love. And Durant... for the most part.
But Melo? He's the Shaq-less, Phil-less, Pau-less, swaggerless, younger version of Kobe, in PF form (meaning more rebounds, and less assists... A LOT less, I don't care what the numbers show. Melo passes 4 times every season.)

Those guys werent playing at elite levels, though.
I bet the laker FO saw kob practicing and thought the investment was worth it(reinforced the thinking). Its a business move.
Its a bit high, im not arguing. But.let us be honest....did u really...really think he was taking 8-14 mill??? So 16-18??? Sure....23.5 and 25? High..still have room for 1 max or 2 iguodola type FAs. Plus a #1. Plus full MLE. Plus u can sign 3 other vets min deals...

Im slowing resigning to the fact that the only free agent we have a chance with is Melo...
He's the desperate "6" girl at the bar at the end of the night, take a couple shots and kanye shrug

That article is referring to lesser experienced players who wouldn't be making $20+ mil in year 1 of their max contracts, which isn't the case for a guys like Melo/Bron.
And why is this?

Agreed. Imo, we're not signing a superstar. I don't see why anybody believes we will. Our best bet in getting a dude like Durant, which isnt going to happen btw, is through a trade. What's gonna happen most likely, is that we will sign 2 stars over the years, and maybe Mitch will buss a ***** and land us someone big.

"actually i take that back, i demand 48 mil now"
"but then what about melo?"
