if you were right about the Lakers and in particular Kobe's contract....no free agents would ever give the Lakers the time of day because let you tell it...they are in terrible shape..won't come back..nobody wants to play with Kobe..and his contact doesn't allow us to get any other players..

that's basically what your contention was..

the fact that the best free agents available are listening to the Laker's pitch ..and Kobe is directly recruiting top players shows that your contention was just as wrong as I told you it was..

again..if you were right...the Lakers would be sitting around like the sixers doing nothing and pretending like that nothing is some genius shit..lol...

but we aren't...

we in the game..

that's what Championship organizations and great franchises do...

whether or not Carmello or Lebron come to LA is irrelevant .... my point has always been that the Lakers will bounce back because we play to win and will always be an attractive destination for players...not just because of the city of LA but because ..unlike the Sixers...Knicks and the like...we are a true championship organization ...
