I thought it was a particularly hilarious display of inept posting when you decided to omit the fact that Nash was injured for most of the season.

Last time he said he hoped Howard re-signs with the Rockets because he hates the arrogant Laker front office for thinking Howard will want to be a Laker just because they are the "Lakers" "I hope it blows up in their face" were his exact words
Ah, thanks for all that. So now I know where all this agenda is coming from with Howard/nobody wants to play with Bryant, since he has a disdain for the Lakers. He's clearly biased and on top of all that he's covering the NFL ? It's just like Floyd Mayweather's opinion on basketball, don't really care for it.

Have fun watching a team with Andrew Gouldelock in the starting lineup next year because nobody wants to play with Kobe.
What high profile teammates? I already talked about Shaq and Malone. Who else, Smush Parker? He got on just fine with Odom and Gary Payton (to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong). You guys who hate Kobe keep coming with the same tired arguments, and whenever someone refutes them you disappear and come back saying the same thing.

Nobody wanted to play with Bron last I recall too. That's why he left Cleveland remember? Ohh I forgot, it's called the decision. Yeah it's got a special name and everything.

Is that why Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh both took paycuts so that they could all play together?
Is that why Udonis Haslem took a paycut so he could play here?
Is that why Ray Allen took a paycut so he could play here?
Is that why Birdman signed with the team for the minumum and will be looking to resign for cheap to build something greater?
Is that why Shane Battier signed with the team for less?
Sit your ass down kid. The Miami Heat are a family, while the Lakers is a disgruntled workplace where everyone just pretends to like eachother. LeBron has built a winning culture that talented players WANT to be a part of.

All those pieces you mentioned signed on to ring chase after Wade concocted the big three... It happens every year with all the top teams. Its about to happen in NJ too.
If I remember correctly Chris Paul wanted to play with Kobe but got denied for basketball reasons.
Dwight Howard is a mentally weak *****, he can't play anywhere that has an expectation of title or bust.
He doesn't have the drive to carry a team to a championship. I hope he goes to Houston so he can blow that team up.

And no, Malone/Payton were Shaq recruits.
Face the facts, nobody wants to play with Kobe and your roster is evidence of that. Your going to be fielding a team with Jordan Hill and Goulelock as starters.
I didn't say anything about free agents, I said what high profile teammates has Kobe beefed with. But now that you mention it the Lakers haven't been under the cap in how long. That means only minimum, rookie and MLE contracts can be signed. While its not impossible to sign good players to those contracts, who's going to sign for that?
Goudelock isn't coming back, Lakers FO didn't extend a QO to him. The reason why Hill is starting for the Lakers is because of A) the cap situation which is being fixed in the next 2 years and B) injuries and lack of depth. We'll see what happens in free agency in 2014 and 2015. Wasn't Joel Anthony starting for the Heat only 2 years ago?
Chris Paul wanted to play with Kobe. He was angry when Stern vetoed the trade back in 2011. There's a big name

Noone has answered my question.
What players have gone on to ring chase signing for cheap in the Kobe era? Since apparantly it happens to all the top teams who signed with them? We all know who wanted to play with Shaq, but who wanted to play with Kobe?
Chris Paul didn't wanna play there, he got traded there just like any player worth a damn that LAs ever acquired.

so players believe they can win a ring with Lebron but not Kobe? you'd think a team with Kobe, Nash, and Dwight will get a lot of ring chasers
