Did you really put those 2 players in the same catagory?Lakers can keep kobe at this point of his career. Might as well Photoshop Steve Nash in a Knicks jersey too

They're both aging former MVPs coming off of injuries. Yes, I just did,

I don't think Kobe would be be healthy enough for it to be a problem.

Alrighty then... they have that in common but, I was alluding to careers and you are talking about last season.

Nah, I'm talkin about right now b/c they're both currently out b/c of injuries. I know Kobe has put in work, but we don't need another aging superstar who happens to shoot as much as our current one. Give me this offer 3 years ago, & I'm all for it.

I hate the idea of Kobe having his Wizards days here.
But it's not like Kobe didn't play with Melo on 2 Olympic teams? Or that he didn't have enough dimension in his game to be a facilitator and all-around player, when that's what his team needed. He's a smart player, he already knows Phil's system by heart, and if he'd go so far as to leave LA, I doubt he'd be coming for 30 shots a night. Not when Melo is right there. Not if the goal is putting the team in the best position to win.
After his 2nd injury, I don't know what's left there, or what, of the very little we have, we'd end up getting raided for. Bet they'd want Tyson.

I think the 5 year age difference is big though. I'd take the deal now minus Kobe's contract and only if PJ starts coaching. PJ had two players who wanted to be the 1st option and they didn't even like each other! LOL

I have to agree on that one lol. Idk how he made Shaq & Kobe work, but it did work out pretty well lol. I just don't know how Kobe will be coming off the Knee injury right after he rehabbed his torn Achilles.

i just can't see kobe in any other uniform (than a laker uni)
one of the greatest of all time shouldn't be forced to come to a team like the knicks as a consolation prize or something
wanna see that dude retire as a laker

It's funny how laker fans were talking about getting Melo from us in the beginning of the season and now it's the other way around
