Bryant, Bell to meet

[carib]

The longtime rivals will sit down for a face-to-face chat Wednesday in Los Angeles to further discuss the feasibility of the Lakers signing Bell in free agency

[carib]

If they meet this is a done deal

[Muser]

Damn..

its like Kobe goes after any one that gets in his skin, (Ron)

[picc84]

He respects people that fight and don't back down to him.

You think he's out there trying to recruit Kate Faber?

[picc84]

Any Bobcats or Warriors fans, or Suns fans I guess, who can attest to how he looked the past couple seasons?

[Trainwreck2100]

she fought, but im pretty sure she backed down

[MiamiHeat]

Now kobe is recruiting for his team like Wade and Bron instead of demanding to be traded until someone else does something?

The copycat just copying the leaders he's supposed to copy.

[The Gemini Method]

I think I preferred tlong's Trailblazer rants...

[Mike-in-brazil]

The copycat just copying the leaders he's supposed to copy.sounds like a dr suess line!!


calling Lebron a leader at this point is foolish!! great player mos def!!!
...Wade is the nba's pimp of the year!!! Don Dawayne

[sook]

I really like this. This will make Kobe/ Lakers go up 10 fold in my book.

A team committed to winning that understands you don't just grab superstars to win.

With bell on board, they will be a great team to root for imo.

:tu

yup

inserting key components here and there is all this Laker team needs.
Bell, should the Lakers land him, will be an immediate and valuable asset.

[MiamiHeat]

Damn Miami,

Now your really digging aren't ya..?:rolleyes

I call it like I see it. What have I been saying about Kobe for years?

He's not a leader. He's a copycat. Jordan was the genius, Kobe's just an inferior imitation.

That's how Kobe works. He's smart enough to know WHAT to copy, but he's still just a biter.

LeBron/Wade are recruiting for their teams like nobody has ever seen, and now Kobe puts his copy face on.

No surprises here.

[The Gemini Method]

Yeah, because this whole Raja Bell thing came about the time LeBron signed with the Heat...

[MiamiHeat]

Wade has been recruiting for the HEAT for a while now, and it was widely known that he was trying to get Bosh and LBJ.

[MiamiHeat]

in fact, I'll call it right now

Next contract, Kobe will take less money and talk about wanting to give the Lakers room to build to continue to win.

Classic.

[OC Lakerfan]

Wade has been recruiting for the HEAT for a while now, and it was widely known that he was trying to get Bosh and LBJ.

Yea I remember him trying to recruit LO last year. Oh wait.

[The Gemini Method]

You seriously should just stop. Be excited about what your team has done to become better than 1st round fodder. Not act the pompous fool.

How would that be different than what any star has done over time? That's the name of the game--improve on the previous year. That's the only way to keep your team at a premium level.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Any Bobcats or Warriors fans, or Suns fans I guess, who can attest to how he looked the past couple seasons?

Well he was injured when he was on the Warriors :lol. The few games he played on the Suns during the 2009 season before he was traded he looked absolutely done. His defense was shit, his shot was getting no lift, he looked like he hated being on the court. A lot had to do with how much he hated playing for Porter and his body was well beyond 30 MPG capability.

Just my opinion but he should not be getting consistent minutes given how much 3 seasons under D'antoni playing 35+ MPG set him back. If they sign him as a spot player who got to play 10-15 minutes here and there it might work, but LA should not be signing him as a rotation player.

[PGDynasty24]

it is called laughter...

[himat]

This is a great move if the Lakers manage to keep Shannon Brown too. Raja Bell might be able to provide 3's and defense, but he is getting old. LA might still want the athletic, and improving, Shannon Brown off the bench still.

A guard rotation of: Fisher, Bryant, Bell, Brown, and Blake would be really good.

[xtremesteven33]

Lakers need another explosive swingman..Kobes losing his speed I would think they need to get younger but Bell wouldnt be a bad signing at all...

[crc21209]

I think deep down Raja hates the shit out of Kobe and is going to relish this moment of Kobe bowing down to try and recruit him. Raja will then turn around and sign elsewhere...

[Ashy Larry]

She must have fought back .... didn't he wanna blast on her face ???

in three years, he could really be something special .....

They had dinner one night and hashed out any issues. Mutual respect at this point. Maybe Lamar was the mediator. :D

Kobe is recruiting Kurt Thomas now.

eh..kurt thomas? link pls.

[nevetslc]

John Ireland just said on 710 ESPN radio show that Kobe is recruiting Kurt Thomas to join the team.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bell was decent with the Bobcats..he's an above average defender if he's only playing 10-15 MPG, so he would do a lot better for the Lakers than he would on most teams..he's still good for a situational role..

The Lakers need some athleticism on the wings though, they're going to be really slow, which showed at times last season, especially if they get Bell..

Raja Bell is a fucking bitch if he goes to LA though :lol Kobe embarrassed him, and now he's going to crawl on his knees, bending over for a potential ring..

[MiamiHeat]

So you agree to the fact that the broad generlization applies to you in that aforementioned statement, right Miami?

When I came to this board, the HEAT were in the middle of a 15 win season.

So can't troll if my team sucks.

Some of you Laker fans, on the other hand, are post-Gasol Lakers. Trolls.

Nice twist on what was initially stated. The OP stated any fan of an opposing team that posts on here would be, in his opinion, a troll. There was no clarification of specifics so you would be classified as a troll. While I don't give a damn about join dates and post-Gasol bullshit. I know where I stand and how long I've been a fan of the Lakers. Also, your constant degrading of all things Lakers would spell troll more than anything I and a few of the Laker fans have done here.

[xtremesteven33]

Thatd be a damn shame to see Bell in a Lakers uniform....Thats like seeing Jason Terry in a Spurs uniform...

[Muser]

in three years, he could really be something special .....

And you're basing this on 2 summer league games?

[024]

bell will get paid more on the spurs and another chance to clothesline kobe. great opportunity.

[Medvedenko]

I loathe Bell, but if he's on the Lakeshow I'll support him.

[pgardn]

He respects people that fight and don't back down to him.

Is this some sort of joke? Artest competely lost it when Kobe elbowed him in the series against Houston. Kobe got inside Artest's head so bad they had to go exclusively to Battier to cover kobe. Artest is a weakminded child. Bell is not.

This is a total fail comparison. Artest is totally Kobe's BeeHatch...

[MiamiHeat]

You troll everything about Kobe? I mean your Kobe hate is beyond pathetic. You need a damn life.

This a Laker forum or a Spurs forum?

Kobe play for the Lakers or Spurs?

Don't be such a pussy and use your head.

[Ashy Larry]

And you're basing this on 2 summer league games?


no, on work ethic and what I have seen from him at WVU. Compared to the riff raff the Lakers have on their bench, goat shit would look special in three years. Ironically, three years is what Walton have on his contract.

[Giuseppe]

Artest is a weakminded child.

Cept when all other 8 children were watching Kobe's shot auger in short, Game 5 Vs. Phoenix...Artest wasn't.

tee, hee.

dude you're retarded. Kobe's won 5 rings, talk when the superstar combo the heat got have at least won one.

Don't act all arrogant until you're they've done something. The preseason is loaded with all types of hype. You have a right to be excited but don't go all Thunder Dan on us. He would pull the same shit every season.

[Koolaid_Man]

nothing new here...Kobe is acting like he hasn't even won a Championship yet. While other team's GMs are all surrendering, Kobe is out there trying to prevent Pat Riley's evil empire from getting more players.


Kobe is really greedy and sick, folks. and I fucking Love It :toast:toast:toast:toast

[pgardn]

Yeah. Thats what Ron's shrink told him also...

Ron ya did it. Ya missed 7 wide open 3's in a row, but when it counted. So the other 7 did not count. Good for the Lakers. I hope they keep playing 4 on 5 offensively. Ron should just wait back on the defensive end like a girls game.

[Giuseppe]

I hope they keep playing 4 on 5 offensively.

Uh, uh. Boston tried that, next thing ya knew Artest left Pierce, dead in the ground.

Serious question: have you always posted like a nancy boy and I'm just noticing it now that you post 87 times a day since the Heats got their ringers?

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Heat's already trolling the shit out of these boys..

[Giuseppe]

This is the NBA forum dipshit!

No, this is the Lakers Board at ST. Whomever wins the NBA World Title gets this Forum.

And that's just the way it is.

[MiamiHeat]

The world is very different when you leave Lakersground, ain't it? They feed some serious crack cocaine over there. "Kobe is better than MJ!!"

Do you always deflect the topic to avoid the subject?

Isn't it funny how now Kobe is miraculously recruiting Raja Bell and Kurt Thomas?

What a coincidence!!

Wade (and Bron) lead the way, and now Kobe copies. Such a predictable little soul he is. It's sad.

I said it before : Next contract, look to Kobe to take a smaller contract and talk about "sacrificing" so the Lakers can have more money to spend for championships.

[MiamiHeat]

whatever floats your boat.

oh look, you memorized popularly used phrases so you can regurgitate them as one-liners.

how cute.

You have got to pucker dem lips out and look more douchier if you are trying for foreign women. If you are trying to attract black women, or white girls who like black guys, you need to grow your hair out looking sloppy as humanly possible, lose all the facial hair, look as thuggish/sloppy as possible. Take a picture standing back with your pants hanging off your ass. Buy a t-shirt that is about 7 sizes to big, get a set of fronts for your teeth. Then put your middle finger up, with a cigarette in the other hand. I GUARANTEE that at least 6 of those broads would had clicked yes. (Oh and I almost forgot, have the empty bottle of hennessy within eyesight of where you are standing in the picture.)

:lol :lol

[pgardn]

Uh, uh. Boston tried that, next thing ya knew Artest left Pierce, dead in the ground.


The NBA loved Ron for his work against Boston. Instead of 4-0 or 4-1 he was a main cog in the wheel that helped it go seven. I personally love Ron on the floor. If Kendrick Perkins had played the last game, Ron would have been found dead drunk at the bottom of his staircase yet again. Let than man play, its amusing watching him attempt to touch the rim or dribble.

[Killakobe81]

I am going to enjoy watching Miamiheat fail on here ...more that the real team ...when THEY come up short ...

Yeah its a good thing the Lakes won. They now consider Artest an important clutch player. A guy that was severely injured by a beer and attacked the wrong fan, and he now performs circus acts while falling down stairs on X-mas. I think its great that LA has recruited a lunatic.

"Kobe passed me the ball... he passed ME the ball."

Just wonderful.

[MiamiHeat]

Yeah, right, you'll crap the bed and pick us.

fisher stayed in LA like i said right? :lmao

[Giuseppe]

You and the entire Board. Please.

You picked the Cavs last Thursday night until 5 minutes after James said Miami. It took your mother to pinch ya to get ya to come around.

You obviously have me mistaken for a Laker fanboy. I criticize the team plenty... especially Kobe. Would much rather be here discussing opposing viewpoints than in lockstep at a Lakers forum. I'm not the only one, IronMexican, Gemini, Ashy Larry, BadOdor, and several others tell like it is, too.

Your whole copycat shtick is just so weak though... I have seen some ridiculously thin trolling, but that is pushing the bounds of decorum.

Have you no shame, sir?

[SomeCallMeTim]

to be honest, lakers-heat is gonna be epic. i can't wait

Agreed. I think Lakers are the 'dogs now, but that's no different than the last three seasons anyway... they have three Finals apps and 2 titles to show for it despite that. Assuming they both make the Finals (and that's assuming a lot) it would be a great series.

I have a bad feeling the Heats are gonna run away with the league this year, but there are a lot of games to be played. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

GD it.

[spursfaninla]

i don't see where bell gets minutes on the Lakes. Behind Kobe, and that will be 10 minutes a game the way you guys play him.

He is too small to get sf minutes, and assuming Glass boy is playing, odom gets the sf minutes at backup.

so, no big whoop for you guys.

[OC Lakerfan]

Odom plays like 1% of the minutes at SF.
