    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">After all, Bryant said if he left the Lakers it would be because of O'Neal's "childlike selfishness and jealousy." Are there any such qualities in Duncan?

    Bryant would have to accept a pay cut, but the Spurs can offer about as much as any franchise can besides the Lakers. If the Spurs squeeze Manu Ginobili into the mid-level exception slot ? something that is very doable ? the Spurs could begin Bryant's salary at about $12 million.

    Unlike Jason Kidd, Bryant would fill a need. Add him to Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker, and aren't the Spurs set through the decade?</div>

    That isnt too unrealistic. Cap wise it might be able to go down. The only thing to consider is that he would now be in Duncan's shadow.

    Duncan is a shadow Ice Breaker, Kobe may actually help get more eyes on Tim. That lineup would be sickening, and if Kobe plays team ball, no one would beat them.

    Seriously doubt this would come to fruition. I don't feel that Kobe is a good match for the Spurs BUT if he can manage to find a place in our game plan, we are very formidable indeed.

    As much as I make jokes about him..He is a great talent and a great player...So If you get the chance to go after him you should.
