Kobe got sold that .
Matter of fact, he got it shoved down his mouth.![]()
Yeah, legit 2-piece by a guy 4" shorter and 30 pounds lighter.
He didn't want none of that.

No conviction or relation to ghazi, no rapist or terrorist.
Oh great, OP with another uninteresting, slurping thread.
^Yeah, I don't have a one track mind.
Sue me.
Bend over, I'll in' call you Sue.
Nash was trash for us but not sure why everyone is so quick to rule Russell a failure. Dude is 19 years old. if we compare him to Nash as a rookie who actuallly went to college for 4 years I think the numbers for Russell are greater. Druss was drafted higher but to me that does not matter.
As far as the Nash trade horrible by any measure but if were can hold on to our pick I feel better about it ...if we lose it ...damn. Nash would have "backdoored" us again!!!
The Nash trade was more Kobe crying to Chaz about needing help. Everyone here knows that. Kobe is just a more fortunate D-Wade.
The Nash trade was about giving Buss a team he liked on his death bed. He despised the triangle because it was a slow methodical offense. He wanted showtime style that is why we went with Mike D and blessed the Nash trade. Please stop reporting like you know about my team. Dont get me wrong it was still a mistake ... but that was more about Buss than Kobe.
I guess the 50m for two bench years was about showtime.
Keep thinking that.
12 has you ed up even more.
Lakers completed a sign-and-trade deal with the Phoenix Suns for Nash. At the time, the move was considered one that would keep the Lakers in le contention and, according to ESPN's Marc Stein, Nash was only swayed to join the Lakers "after a determined push from [Kobe] Bryant."

That doesnt make any sense. It has been widely reported by credible beat writers that follow the team and was also confirmed by Mitch and Jeannie. But you know more than I do on the matter ...right? Well buss wanted a uptempo team and it turns out the old man was right ...
..."the elder Buss explained to his daughter that the final decision on the hire had been his, and it was not personal toward Jackson. He simply saw the NBA heading in a direction that seemed to fit D'Antoni's uptempo style." and
So Dr. Buss was used to gambling and trusting his instincts and in 2012 something else was true. He was fighting cancer. As he was fighting the disease, he was still engaged in building a team in the post-Phil Jackson era. One of the Lakers hallmarks under Phil Jackson and his triangle system was they never had the need for a true point guard and so they never drafted one and never developed one. With the absence of Phil, the cupboard was bare in the Lakers backcourt. Kobe Bryant and no one else.
Jerry Buss loved Los Angeles and he loved the Lakers and he really, really loved stars, the kind that moved ticket sales, that made people watch. Steve Nash was the biggest free agent star on the market in 2012. He was the one Jerry Buss coveted. What Steve Nash could do with the ball reminded Dr. Buss of what Magic Johnson could do with the ball. Both were artists on the court, Picassos with the dribble. Both were scientists, blessed with three dimensional vision. From a gamblers perspective, Steve Nash could return the Lakers to its up tempo roots. Before he died, Dr. Buss could witness Showtime in his last, sick year.
this was widely reported I dont have to work hard to believe anything. and for the record the LA media is much tougher on the Lakers than the SEN is on the Spurs.
And no 12 doesn't affect me I just posted ANOTHER thread which has Kobe 12th ...if it bothered me why would I do that?
that doesn't make ANY sense ...![]()
Having the final say doesn't mean it wasn't about Kobe. Don't you think he had the final say on Pau as well? We know Kobe cried to SAS about that.
You're reeling from 12.. reeling.
I only know what is reported. I have seen credible sources say it was Bush's dying directive. I do think trying to help Kobe win was a factor and I think almost every star player at least gets run by them at least informally through their agent. I think if Kobe wanted he could have fought harder to retain Pau or Shaq before that so if you want to blame him for those I agree.
