LA Times: Jerry Buss asks Glen Taylor for Kevin Garnett

<div class="quote_poster">shapecity Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Makes no sense and Kobe Bryant would lose respect around the basketball community. You ask for a major change, the team does it for you, and then you still want out? I'd have to transform into a Kobe-Hater if he pulled that type of move.</div>

Same here

 

<div class="quote_poster">K8BE24 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Meanwhile, Bucher is reporting that even if the deal is official, word out of Kobe land is he still doesn't want to be a Laker. WTF</div>

He's doing it so he can get another player along with KG to try to contend. First he wanted 1 player and now it isn't good enough, so he's going for 2 players and on and on it will go.

 

So for the first time in the history of all our KG discussions its actually a legit discussion now.

My question is, they said originally it was a 4 team deal between boston, indiana, LA, and Minneta.

They said indiana was getting L.O and A.B, Lakers were getting KG, what was minnesota and Boston getting? And what was Boston giving up?

Good question. If those are true, then how could JO NOT be going to either Boston or Minnesota?

 

Supposedly boston wasn't happy with that ^ Can't Indiana throw that foreign guy who can hit threes and call it good?

 

PS- There's an insider article on ESPN.com that I cant read...anyone able to get their hands on that?

 

LA Times said that "4 team deal" went down, so now we are dealing on 1-1 with the wolves

Lakers get: Garnett
Wolves Get: Odom, Brown, Bynum and Picks.

Other Lakers Move:
Cook for Head (We really need a PG a Rockets really need a PF, because they trade Howard)
Luke Walton (Re-Sign)
Magloire (MLE)
I Hope we can keep the 19Pick and get Nick Young (but he is espected to be drafted on 10-15)

Lakers Starting Line Up Next Season

PG: Farmar-Head-Sasha
SG: Bryant-Evans
SF: Luke-Radmanovic
PF: Garnett-Turiaf
C: Mihm-Magloire

Gretings from Chile
Bye, sorry fot the english

thats a solid line up any chance we can lure billups since he's opted out of his contract?

 

I'd lose all my respect for Kobe if they get this deal inked and he still leaves. I got goosebumps down my spine right now. I've always dreamt of a Kobe/KG combo in LA. Wow.....

Typical ESPN.

 

<div class="quote_poster">shapecity Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">
EDIT: They also mentioned the Suns might try to block the deal because Kobe & KG together would be an obvious threat for their championship aspirations.</div>


Man... Phx is getting so low, were they not trying to stop us from getting Kidd to?

No chance. Billups left a 6.5 mil a year contract and he already has a ring, so he isn't going to sign for less to come to LA. He's gonna be getting a big payday this offseason.

 

Too many teams trying to ruin the Lakers The Celtics and the SUNS f**k i hate them both!As for Kobe leaving when KG is almost on the way i will hate him the Lakers are trying to bring a star like KG and he leaves what the f**k is up with that.

 

If Kobe leaves after Garnett is brought to Los Angeles, all of those die hard fans that loved Bryant and supported him during his darkest and worst hours such as the rape case will lose a lot of respect for him. I could see him losing a lot of fans if he jumps ship when a player of Kevin Garnett's caliber is suiting up alongside him. He wanted help and an offseason of change. He's getting that so for him to leave would be selfish and stupid on his part.

 

I think Kobe will lose all respect if he leaves LA if they get KG. Getting KG for Kobe is the organization's way of getting work done in the off season. If that's not good enough for Kobe, he doesn't deserve to play for this franchise.
