Suns got a meeting, but it won't mean much. Think he's SAN or LAL bound.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Well, I knew Kobe couldn't sit idly by and let the Lakers matriculate through a FA period without his advice even though Mitch has already stated that the Lakers don't listen to much of what Kobe has to say and hasn't for some time. Apparently Kobe did a little salesmanship, Lebron-esque activity and lobbied Deandre Jordon to walk across the hall. LOL!

Report: Kobe Bryant called DeAndre Jordan to recruit him to Lakers | ProBasketballTalk

So he wants Jordan over Aldridge I'm taking it, if those reports are true? Interesting.

 

[wildturkey]

No real shocker

According to Marc Stein, Marc Gasol has no meetings scheduled with any teams besides Memphis.

He's staying put

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, I agree Shanesmanj. If the report is true.

I don't know as that's what it means. Chances are, Kobe is going to talk to any FA that the Lakers are interested in at some point in the process of recruiting them. The Lakers aren't going to let Kobe make any decisions as far as who they go after, but that doesn't mean he's not involved in the recruitment of those players that they do decide to go after.

I thought I heard somewhere that he was interested in the Hawks too.

This is the report I remember seeing.

Having a guy with a reputation of being a bad teammate around the league do your recruiting probably isn't the best idea.

 

[HammerDown]

Can you blame him?

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think this happens:

Spurs - Danny Green
Cavs - Love, TT, Smith
Grizzlies - Gasol, Jeff Green
Heat - Wade
Knicks - Monroe, Rondo
Kings - Lawson, Cousins
Bulls - Butler
Warriors - Draymond Green
Blazers - Matthews
Wizards - Pierce
Pistons - Harris, Jackson
Pacers - Ellis, Hibbert
Rockets - Smith, Beverly

Still not sure about:

Aldridge - 1 Spurs 2 Lakers 3 Mavs
Jordan - 1 Mavs 2 Lakers 3 Clippers
Chandler 1 Clippers 2 Mavs

Damn, Pop is lookin' old, man!

Yeah, Chris Paul did the same after Sterling relented

Agreed.

Plus, a few of these guys may really be open to a 1 yr deal to max out after the TV money influx.

So, maybe he could get one to come on a discounted deal. It doesn't cost him anything to try.

Obviously, Jordan to the Lakers is the worst case scenario...for me.

1. It would hurt to see.

2. You have nothing to sign and trade in return.

That's why I'm hoping he goes to Dallas, if he leaves.

Ofcourse, a multi-Team sign and trade is always possible.

My wish list is :

1. Deandre Stays

2.a Sign and trade for Chandler

2.b Corey Brewer

Good luck!

I'm glad it's finally time.

He looks like the kinda Dude you find in a hooded sweatshirt, with a 200 page manifesto, in a cabin in the woods.

I like everything except Rondo.

The Knicks need shooters in the Triangle.

Plus, they got their pg in the draft.

Rondo to Sacto.

I think Aldridge goes to the Lakers while there's a sign and trade for Chandler and Jordan. The only one I'm not sure about is Monroe considering he might want to play on a contender.

It was either him or Lin to NY lol
Yeah, Sacramento suits him well...dysfunctional

Lawson stays in Denver then?

I don't know.

I hate that Mofo.

But, I think his rep is a bit overstated.

Plus, he is clearly softening in his old age.

This made me hate him a little bit less...lol

That is what I think too. LA to LA lol. And Jordan and Chandler switch teams. I hope this is right so the Spurs are left out and dont get Aldridge.

Lawson stays in Denver then?

Don't know what they do with him.

I'm in Arizona right now and there is a lot of talk about Bledsoe getting dealt.

Maybe they can swap?

I think Lin will land in Dallas.

If not, maybe Lawson?
