    Default Re: Kobe wanted to play for the Spurs...

    Oh wow, the Spurs would've had to gut their roster for Kobe though... Parker, Ginobili are probably gone. Who else do they have playing PG? Does Fisher get involved in the trade somehow? The Spurs role players were pretty old by 2007-2008... while the Lakers had guys like Ariza, Odom, Fisher and Bynum.


    But then you have to consider how much better was Duncan compared to Gasol at that point in their careers. Gasol averaged like 19/8 on 60% FG since going to LA... was Duncan THAT much better than Gasol?

    How would Duncan do against KG in the finals?

    Meh.

    I'm glad LA was able to put the right pieces around Kobe, and he was able to get two more rings in LA. I honestly don't think Kobe to Chicago, San Antonio or wherever else gets any better results.

    Standard bulls overrating there garbage ass players.. Precious Noah Gibson and rose, now they'd be lucky to get a second rounder for any of those pieces of shit

    Blame Thibs then don't even make the playoffs without him

    Worst stingy micromanaging FO in the league. Still can't believe how dirty they did nate after he carried them in the playoffs that year
