[BIG LEEMELONE]

that reminds me of a glitch in the old nba 2k games where the commentator would just randomly call people adrian griffin no matter what teams were playing

but low key tayshaun prince guarded kobe better than anyone I've ever seen. I don't think kobe's ever had a good game against him

 

[champcruthik]

Bonzi Wells. That's a name for the ages.

That Portland squad that choked against LA was stacked deep.

 

[awwsome]

I had a Bonzi Wells jersey

That Portland squad was dope

well Prince was a very good defender which was why his name was always brought up back in the day as being able to guard Lebron so good.

even more random is the 2006 playoff stats he put up for 6 games when he was with the Kings and then faded into bolivia after that

No seriously when Shane Battier was in his prime he did a good job on Kobe

 

[Peep Game]

Self-proclaimed Kobe stopper.

Then gets 50 dropped on him.

Where they do that at?

Well if Carmelo can drop 55 on Battier and still lose, so can Kobe.

Idk didn't he win the game he dropped 55 on Shane?

 

[Peep Game]

He won putting 50 (thought it was 55) on him once, and loss each time putting 42, 50, 45 on Shane. 2 of those games were vs the Heat, and the other 2 vs the Rockets. Those are the ones i actually remember, but if you look up their careers vs each other, they're damn near .500

 

[Figured it out]

Lakers signed Wesley Johnson

 

[thadoctadvocate]

carmelo is they type of player to score alot but still lose

 

[datznasty]

Lakers signed Wesley Johnson

1 yr vet minimum deal. Great signing since it doesn't affect their ability to have nobody but Nash under contract past 2014 and tank for Wiggins

carmelo is they type of player to score alot but still lose

i think thats why he gets a lot of hate

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

If possible, Lakers should find a way to trade Nash to Toronto

 

[thadoctadvocate]

why? his contact expires after this year. bad move

 

[CP1708]

No Dwight, Earl Clark or Ron, instead Kaman, Farmar, Young, and Wes all on 1 year deals.

Gonna be in that same 8-10 seed Siberia range.

 

[JD617]

I know my man Kobe got injured last year but jesus dudes are acting like he tore both acl's and disloacted both knees

People are in such a rush to bathe in the decline theyre using this injury as a reason to say he'll be a certified bum or avg 12.5 pts the duration of his career.

This aint Amare Stoudamire were talking about, hasnt Kobe earned the benefit of doubt ?

Who is saying this though?

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

why? his contact expires after this year. bad move

Salary cap relief and get some youth on the team

salary cap relief? whats that

also this season im sad to say they are not contenders so there is no point in making the owners look bad by trading nash

 

[CP1708]

Nash doesn't expire after this year, that's incorrect.

But he can retire, or we can stretch provision him and reduce his cap number.

But he's not an expiring deal, that part is inaccurate.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

How will the owners look bad? Obviously they're not gonna make an impact next year. Trade Nash, get some youth on the team, tell Kobe to take his time. That'll put them in a decent position in next years draft.

Lakers don't rebuild, they reload

If Lakers were to trade Nash it would be to salary dump him..
