<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Kobe Kampaign Kobe's web geeks sure know how to generate fresh hits to his website....and then reveal it was all a ruse. A reprint of an earlier blog. A tease to keep us guessing and wondering and, most of all, talking. And now there's this mysterious and potentially damaging video.... Add it to all the media hype.... His flip-flopping messages and heart-felt appeals to the [Laker] masses.... Obama ought to hire him before Hillary does. Just add them to the list of wanna-bes. Like the Knicks. It's so tantalizing for Isiah Thomas. Just the possibility of being in the running for one of the league's best players. Mr. No. 1 selling jersey. Read the most recent situation of this epic in Ken Berger's NBA column here - pause for thought - What would he wear with the Knicks? As my man Berger asked me this morning, would they rip Bill Bradley's No. 24 right off the Garden ceiling? Would he go back to No. 8, a digit less heralded, but still worn by the capable likes of Latrell Sprewell, Walt Bellamy and Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton? - end of thought - Until the Lakers officially begin taking offers for Jellybean Junior, speculation and conjecture will dominate the airwaves and the blogsphere and the newsprint. In the meantime, what do we have here? The Boston Herald confirming that the Celtics have had preliminary talks -- former Celtic teammates Danny Ainge and Kevin McHale, mind you -- with the Timberwolves regarding Kevin Garnett. Somebody poke Isiah. Can't be daydreaming about Kobe when reality has Garnett as officially up for sale and potentially headed to a team in your division. If you're a Knicks fan, the Kobe stuff is exciting. But it also has to make you wonder: Would Isiah opt to not get involved in KG talks or even Rashard Lewis talks if he thinks he has a shot at Kobe Bryant? Would he step out of other potential deals to keep himself in the game for Kobe? I've spoken with enough people to know the Knicks will very much focus on the Kobe situation all summer. No matter what you hear about the Knicks not being among Kobe's Fav-Five (he should do a commercial for T-Mobile with Isiah and other GMs...very slick marketing idea), Kobe would come to New York. But he'd also go to a few other places that might have better deals to offer. So what do you do if you're Isiah? Go for a potentially sure thing - such as Lewis or Rasheed Wallace or possibly KG - and give up assets you might have used to get Kobe? Or do you hang onto what you have and wait out the Kobe situation, with the risk you might come away with nothing? Me? I'd wait it out. But I wouldn't let him wear Bradley's number. </div> Read here
<div class="quote_poster">Bacon Smeller Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">^^^ Lol</div> Let's try to add something more than just one-liners to your post. Interesting article, and something I touched on earlier with the Knicks getting involved in the Kobe sweepstakes. The Knicks best interest would be pursuing KG. The season he played with Marbury, they clicked right away and had success at young age. Kobe is fantastic, but the Knicks have a lot of scoring options already. KG would anchor the defense for them, and Eddy Curry would see a lot of high percentage shots with KG out there. Teams aren't going to be double and triple teaming Curry, when KG is lurking around the rim for offensive put backs.

fuk man i dont care anymore, i cant stand kobe, the guys a hack, he expects special treatment, for what? he hasnt done anything for this club in the last three seasons, all he has done is establish himself as the leagues top player, at the cost of losing games and creating a one dimensional team that revolves around him. the lakers will be better off without him i say, its as pity that he has the no trade claus, what a douche, he decides exactly where he wants to play, thats bad sportsmanship, what a spoilt little brat. im sick of losing to kobe, but it doesnt mean i start going for the bulls! im a devoted and loyal fan who wants to see this team back to its usual form of greatness, and obviously kobe isnt going to provide it.
