NBA next year could be pretty lopsided or extremely great...depending on how these trades continue to go...LA needs to focus on young guards though that can play defense....

[Proof]

Asked about how his game will mesh with Nash's, Bryant said, "It puts me in my natural position, which is that of a shooting guard and that of a finisher. Michael had Scottie, who was a great facilitator for him and enabled Michael to do what he does best, which is score the ball."It still stuns me to hear Bryant talking so openly and honestly about how he compares to Jordan. There were just so many years when even Jackson was reluctant to go there.
But mortality has a way of clarifying things for a man. What really matters to him. What legacy he wants to leave.
After the Lakers lost to the Thunder in the second round of the playoffs, Bryant took a little time off to rest and recover from the season. He watched the rest of the playoffs on television, like the rest of us. He answered text messages from Dwyane Wade seeking advice and chatted with Westbrook on the phone.
He stayed engaged as two of the Lakers' rivals surpassed them. He did not hide from that reality.
"I can step outside of myself and realize that I have five [titles] and at some point you've got to share," Bryant said with that trademark swagger. "But I want my 'ship back next year."
It was classic Kobe. Cocky and brash and already turning failure into fresh desire. But it was also comfortable Kobe. The kind of guy who can step outside of himself and see how others see him.
Over the years we've known many sides of Bryant. He's been angry, impatient, depressed and dismayed. We've seen him determined, stubborn and prone to denial.
He started his career with the Lakers and it's looking like he will finish it with them, too.
But somewhere along the way, or maybe just when the Lakers went out and got Steve Nash to ride out with him, Kobe Bryant decided he would end it well.

Lakers are interested in Antwan Jamison, Jermaine O'Neal, & Elton Brand are also in talks w/ Jordan Hill.



Sessions goes to the Bobcats.

o'neal is too old brand signed wit the mavs duz antwan jamison have anything left and jordan hill was a nice spark of the bench so lakers should re-sign him and i gave sessions a pass wit his performance or lack there of but him goin to the worst team tells me he wasnt ready and he aint no better than a back up unless he goes to the worst team which he did

[Proof]

knicks may not match Lin's contract and instead sign Raymond Felton and have him in the backcourt with Kidd

thank god somebody in that organization has a brain, they were about to pay a guy with 25 starts $29 million

Lin honestly strikes me as more of a bench player James Harden type anyway not the PG we need to lead us to a championship i like the sound of Kidd, Felton back there

OJ Mayo said its his dream to play for the Lakers, so he'd take less money. Him & Kobe are mad chill as well... I remember Kobe spanked the fuck outta this nigga 1 on 1.
