I was thinking that Rudy deserved better than to have to coach a prima donna like Kobe Bryant. I'm voting Clippers on the assumption that if I hope hard enough it just might happen. Then, I can root for Rudy and against Bryant at the same time. Sure, Rudy gets fewer wins this way, but will probably have a better time, and I'm sure the team will recover from the loss in a couple of seasons.
If I were Kobe, I'd go to the Clippers. Establish a dynasty in the same town as the Lakers, and do what Jordan did for the Bulls. They have more talent, and like somebody said earlier, really just need a leader. But of course we are talking about the most selfish player in the NBA...so, he'll pick the Lakers, cause they can pay him more. Who he picks will tell you what's important to him.
