I read that the Kaman's deal is for 3.1 million
But more so than Dwight, I would think Melo would change up his game a little bit if he was to play along side with Kobe. He knows Kobe is going to be the one jacking up all the shots, so I think Melo would take a different approach to his offense. IMO the two of them would be a great pair. Kobe wouldn't have to force up so many shots with Melo being a second option and the same for Melo, and Steve Nash would just need to spot up and shoot an occasional floater.I'm sorry, but I want no parts of Carmelo's game.
I'm not going to rehash the reasons why.
"Rehash? Ska, I've never seen you talk about Carmelo in here. Wouldn't you have to first talk about him in order for your bashing to be considered rehashing?"
Oh, but you have seen me discuss his ball-stopping, chucking, volume shooting style. You've been reading me talk about how much I hate it for years.
His scoring style is... Kobe. There are major differences to their individual application of that style, and I prefer Kobe's interpretation of that style 100 out of 100 times. They have a similar style, with Melo being a more gritty rebounder (spare me your numbers; I'm talking about what I see on a consistent basis). And even though I am a HUUUUGE proponent of two things (great rebounding and great 'teammate involvement' [Kidd, Paul]), Kobe has something else over Melo that causes me to stomach Kobe's game MUCH more easily than I would be able to stomach Melo's: tenacity.
I admire Kobe's intensity and work ethic. It's literally... wait, no it's not*... the only reason I am even SLIGHTLY a fan. His determination, work ethic, sacrificing of body by plying through the gamut of injuries that he consistently plays through... that's the kind of person I am, and I love that in Kobe.
*can't say that Kobe's mental approach is the only thing I like about him anymore. I definitely appreciate his loyalty to the same team I'm loyal to. In today's day and age, that's rare. Even Paul Pierce ain't a 'forever w/ one team' dude. "Oh, but ska, he was almost a Clipper. A Bull. A..." blah, blah, blah. Never happened. Maybe he will ring chase for that 6th and join the Heat or Thunder or some other top tier team, but for now, he is playing for and only has played for... my Lakers (no NobleKane)

get that $$$ Chris
I'm pretty sure Kobe knows that he has a lot of people that genuinely does not like him, but if he would leave us at this stage in his career, to NY of all places, he would be hated pretty much by everybody outside of NY. And a move like that will surpass the amount of burned jerseys Dwight and Lebron has combined.By the way, not to cause some of you to jump off a bridge or anything, but it is possible that Kobe isn't on board with this stuff, and he and Melo meeting for dinner could also be Kobe leaving at the end of the season to go ball in New York with Melo.
He does love Madison Square, and if he thinks LA will take the last 2-3 years of his career to build, he may just go play on a grand stage with a good friend of his. Maybe invite Dirk along for the ride.
So it's not just a done deal that Melo joins us, just the link that was leaked out last night about it is all. Could be us reading it backwards.
Ya'll may resume jumping now.
I'm Essential "Dwight staying" confident on this.
