LMA ask Kobe how things would go on the court not in the Front office. If LMA ask Mitch/Jim how would our dynamic work and they said Pau...I would agree with you.

If the Lakers had a few fans in the meeting and LMA ask the few fans, how would our dynamic be between us and their response was like Pau...I would agree with you.

Kobe/Pau = 2 back to back rings. That's all the Lakers can really sell LMA on when it comes to anything proven basketball wise. This was a long shot from jump. The Lakers brand and prestige were the only things that made this meeting happen. Sure wasn't the 61 losses and unproven talent. Spurs is his best fit and a no brainer.


That's why ain't nobody going to the Lakers.. they keep selling the past. Kobe is the only one in the world who doesn't realize he's washed, so the last thing in the world LMA is gonna wanna hear is "you can be my sidekick like Pau was four years ago" because Kobe ain't the same player he was four years ago. To say some shyt like that proves just how out of touch he and the Lakers organization are.

Next thing you know Kobe gonna be telling Russell he can be his Derek Fisher :skip:

That's your own interpretation on what went on in the meeting. None of the reports(unless I missed it) had Kobe saying "you can be my sidekick like Pau was four years ago"

Told that Aldridge asked @kobebryant how he thought they would play together and Kobe compared it to his dynamic w/ Pau.

There was no talk of black swans or white swans;) Kobe just said he thought they'd be great together & compared it to the game he & Pau ran

How do you know what was and wasn't pitched in the meeting??

It's clear what "you can be my Pau" means.. Gasol was Kobe's sidekick, he was 1b and Kobe was 1a... it proves how out of touch Kobe is to think he's still on that level, and how out of touch the Lakers are to let him spew some shyt like that. This the same nikka that said Howard could be like Tyson Chandler.

A dude like LMA is tryna hear how he's gonna be utilized to build a championship team, not rehash some old glory from four years ago.
