Spurs and Boozer

It's amazing. No matter how bad he plays when games are competitive, teams still love him.

MJ was an a$$hole and everyone took paycuts to play with him
Kobe, trying hard to emulate MJ gets his a$$hole on and people taking paycuts (Dwitght) and all out avoiding playing with him altogether (Melo, Aldridge and who knows who else).

Only difference i see is the snitching part

Do it, Mitch!

what has changed is the guys in the league now. guys wanna play with friends and have ready made situations to win. no one actually wants to compete anymore. that is the difference. kobe's from the 90s mold. he cares more about competition than friends.

He's not playing all 3 shocked if this isn't his last season.

Wizards and Pacers have been surprisingly quiet. No attempts to get a small or PF

Watch your mouth son!

Go say 24 Hail Kobe's and pray for forgiveness.

Its not even about being a Kobe stan or not... This nikka sabotaging himself. There is no concievable universe that LMA should be getting less shots than Kobe. He should even consider coming off the bench... Its his 20th season. Hes the GOAT but even MJ showed signs of on the Wiz... Kobe has more mileage than MJ on the Wiz so...

LA wouldn't have even met with LA if all we had was the young guys.

Of course

Your crazy if you think Kobe should take a back seat to some rookies...when has it ever worked that way.

Kobe takes a backseat to nobody....which is the problem.

I didn't say he should just take a backseat to rookies....especially if he's back to being Kobe. I said Kobe should be taking a backseat until he proves he can get back to at least an average level offensively, which he hasn't been the last 41 times we seen him.

Again, Clarkson was better offensively than healthy Kobe was last season.

Nobody wants to be on a team where a player in his 20th season, 37 years old, injury prone, has only played 41 games over the last 2 seasons, and in that time he did play while he was healthy he averaged 21 ppg on 37% FG and 19 shot attempts a game.....THAT player is supposed to be a focal point on your offense next to you, an elite FA whos led your team to multiple 50+ win seasons, while the good young All-Rookie combo guard from last year, the PF who's been dominating in all workouts and practices since breaking his leg and said to have heavy upside, and the #2 pick in the draft who was dominant college and projected to be a future Superstar by the great talent evaluater Jerry West and other NBA Scouts are just thrown in the bushes

So what's Washington's end game kevin durant or bust? Going to be hard convicing him to go to a worse roster with less money with little to no chance of beating cleveland

Pacers are meeting with Monta Ellis right now
