Barbarian Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 So, will Kobe Bryant leave LA??? He'd be stupid if he did. Anyone who plays with Shaq benefits from having the big man in the middle.The Suns have made the first $100 mil+ offer. What do you guys think???

IfItsBrownFlushItDown Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 The Suns just signed Steve Nash, so Kobe would get SOME help if he moved there.I think he should stay, mainly so that Coach K goes to LA. One of the things Coach K is "considering" is that he doesn't want to inherit the team as it falls apart. If Kobe is staying, Coach K will take the job. Dan Patrick said on his radio show a little while ago that Kobe and Coach K were close, and that if Kobe went to college he would have gone to Duke. So, in my opinion, Kobe will stay.

jditty47 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 shaq will unfortunately be gone prolly so i say kobe will stay with LA Lakers that is...not the shiiiity clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denverbengal Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Kobe will definitely be a Laker next year. Shaq put his house up for sale last week. The last I heard Shaq may be headed to Indiana. But that was a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitared Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Shaq is still under contract till next year. Kobe has trail issues to deal with and Coach "K" said NO. I really wonder what will happen to the Lakers next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmond_mat Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Shaq is still under contract till next year. Kobe has trail issues to deal with and Coach "K" said NO. I really wonder what will happen to the Lakers next year. It's like I've said: THE LAKERS ARE GOING TO BE STINKY FOR AWHILE, unless they keep shaq and kobe. Who can coach them? Whatever the lookers do, the East is playing serious team ball and will win a couple of the next few championships. Defense is the new nba. Score 100 and you'll win every night.

jditty47 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 100 mill aint s**t. he will get like 178 to stay in LA. i think...mb someone check on that for me. He will be a laker, Rudy T will be the coach...and shaq will most likely be traded to dallas for dirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think Nash messed up alot of things for the Mavs by signing with the Suns. He could have been used as good trade bait for Shaq.

ackley1 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I hope Kobe goes to the Clippers. Apparently the Cippers have been saving every dime they so that they can sign Kobe.

I think he'll end up staying a Laker unless Shaq stays in LA Ya know, I just don't get it!!! Why would you want to get away from the big man??? Sure, he's a real cocksucker--but he knows how to win. If only he could hit 60% from the freebie line!!!Here's some things I laugh my ass off about when I see Shaq:1. Shooting Free Throws!!!2. Trying to rap!!! He just sounds like a dumbass.3. Talking to the media. He thinks he's clever--but see #2.4. "Acting" in movies!!! Again, see #2. I think I'm going to go rent Kazaam so I can laugh my balls off at all the unintentional comedy.

jditty47 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 dont f**k with shaq. Ya his raps are gay and his acting is horrible, but his responses to the media are the best in the biz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah, I'm gonna have to side with JDitty on that one Barb. Shaq is one of the better entertainers ala Warren Sapp when it comes to media Savvy. -His line after the game 5 defeat of the Spurs " One Lucky shot deserves another " will be an all time classic.* But on another note : The media coverage of the eventual breakup of the Laker Dynasty is ridiculous. I'm reminded of the Outkast lyric " the whole world loves it when you don't get down ". - Laker Haters have taken over the sports coverage, so many are rooting for their demise it's actually kinda funny !

I laughed my ass off through the whole thing at Shaq!!!Oh I forgot about this one:5. Sir Charles Barkley slamming Shaquille down on the court and Shaq's sized-22 bigfoot Reebok up in the air on ESPN's highlights. I remember Shaq was supposed to be some kind of Kung Fu badass back then--and Sir Charles PUNK'D HIM RIGHT ON NATIONAL TV.That s**t was f**king hilarious.

chrishcovga Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 UH - I think the answer will be a resounding NO!! - According to David Aldridge NBA senior reporter for ESPN. - The lakers will offer KOBE the maximum allowed salary of 7 years/130 million dollars. - Since NO other team will be able to match that offer, Kobe stays in LA. - Plus, putting him next to Lamar Odom (3)-Caron Butler (rising player) and Brian Grant ( to split time with Karl Malone ) with Kareem Rush coming off the Bench again, means Lakers should still be a playoff team next season.*Grant may not be a scorer, but he'll give you a lot of nasti-ness and rebounds.

Bobcat Bengal Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Shaq put his house up for sale last week. I thought he said he wasn't selling his house....He told Michael Jackson it wasnt for sale like 6 or 7 times.....(I'm referring to Shaq's house on MTV Cribs....whew) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarian Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Now the Clippers are in the running. Uh, Clippers????????????????? I thought Donald Sterling was on the same level of cheap as Mike Brown and Carl Lindner???Are you sure you wanna sign with the Clippers, Kobe??? On Shaq, I was listening to this radio show this morning about how the Fakers didn't get anything from Miami for Shaq. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!! Wrong Answer!!! The Fakers got Lamar Odom, who if he kept his head straight and stayed away from the cannibus for a sec--would probably be a premier player in the NBA, Brian Grant, AND a first rounder for next year. That's hardly "nothing".Plus, they dealt the biggest bitch in the NBA away. Shaq's game is overrated and he's whiny. I love how he stated that he was "disrespected by Laker Ownership".UH, SHAQ-FU--HE MADE YOU THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE NBA!!! That's like 'Weed Wallace's "slavery" statements isn't it??? Give us a f**king break, Shaq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good but if he wasn't so darn big he'd be flippin' burgers. He cannot shoot, run or dribble. The longer he plays the lower he is going to fall on the all time great lists. I'm having a hard time ranking him in the top five. I think Wilt, Hakeem, Kareem, Moses and Russell all rank ahead of him now. But Kobe might be the bigger bitch.

BengalszoneBilly Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Well like I thought, he just resigned with the Lakers. He was only driving up his market value, and very successfully at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarian Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 The Clippers just got PUNK'D like the Bungles do every off-season.Well, I guess that answers my question. Either way--he wasn't leaving LA, even though the Clippers are on another realm of suckola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
