Cp3 would have left after discovering how bad it is to play with Kobe.

Kobe and CP3 wouldn't have been able to co exist. Kobe stops all ball movement so CP3's passing wouldn't be utilized. The NBA vetoed this trade to stop Kobe's legacy from being tarnished. If he lost with CP3 and forced management to kick CP3 off the team, his image would definitely be ruined. Kobe should be thanking the NBA for this

The trade caused so many reverberations around the league that I don't know if you can really say how it would've panned out. CP3 and a prime Kobe in the same backcourt would've been fascinating, but I don't think I can say it would be a good fit.
Also interesting, New Orleans was set to acquire Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, and Kevin Martin in this deal, but you know who was a throw in - Goran Dragic. Would he have exploded in New Orleans? Could we have a Dragic/Davis core right now for the Pelicans? Would that team have been too good to ever get the number 1 pick and thus be stuck in purgatory right now?
All we really know is that Stern changed some serious fortunes by vetoing that deal.

Same place they are now. Every time Kobe has been given a superteam he has failed epically.
Chris Paul would have moved on after one season, just like Dwight did.
Also, I love how Laker fans always wanna label CP3 a choker, but at the same time wanna claim Kobe would have 7 rings if the trade hadn't been vetoed.

Me too man, it makes me feel like david stern had an agenda. He probaly didn't want kobe to have more rings than MJ or he probaly wanted lebron to collect asterisk rings Originally Posted by NZStreetBaller
