    So do I but I also hope the NBA slams the Lakers with similar penalties to what they hit the T-wolves with over the Joe Smith contract. Melo and no 1st round draft picks for 4 years would make me very happy.

    I agree with Sly. If that isn't circumventing CBA nothing is. Fuck the NBA.

    I'm sure lots of teams do it but they don't talk about it out in the open.

    Yeah, I really don't understand how that's legal. They're being offered compensation to sign there, and it's a compensation that most teams can't match.

    Magic Johnson....

    It sure and the hell beats:

    With you, Kobe, Nash, and Randle under contract we will have the D League all stars round out the rest of the roster.

    I know a lot of people don't like Kobe and I think a lot of it is due to that he is a Lakers for life but I don't think he is that selfish anymore. I also think he knows where he's at as a player his age and is ready to hand the Face of the franchise torch down to another player.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I like Kobe Bryant as a player and don't think he's selfish. But I think he's insanely competitive and protective of his image and is the last person who'd ever voluntarily "hand off" the designation of face of the franchise as long as he's on the roster.
