Let's end the KOBE to Houston rumor right now.

As for Kobe coming here uhhh.. NO! not gonna happen, how exactly are we gonna afford him? Sign and trade with the Lakers? Sure, I can see it now.


Kupchak "Shaq-daddy my buddy we've got good news."
Shaq "Uh oh"
K: No seriously we got rid of Kobe.
Shaq: Cool.
K: There is one thing.
S: Uh oh
K: Well the only way we could get the Rockets to take him was a sign and trade.
S: We got Ming?
K: Uh no
S: Francis?
K: Sorry
S: Cool, I like Mobley's game, he's like Kobe without well.. alot of things including his game, his defense and he's not a star I'm sure he won't blast me on national T.V.
K: Sorry no Mobley daddy.
S: Uh oh.
K: Here's what we got.....
S: Wait, let me guess. That bean pole who just likes to shoot threes?
K: You mean Griffin, check.
S: And that hairball who dribbles so much?
K: Moochie? check.
S: And that guy who used to play for that other team in L.A.
K: Roger that, we brought in Taylor?
S: NOOOOO!!!!!... Wait isn't he like 6-9 270?
K:......
S: Well he's usually overweight, out of shape, and doesn't play hard.... I think I'll call him mini-me
S: Kup- you're a tool.
K: That's not all, we got Cato!!!.
S: So let me inventory this situation. I lost a mouthy sidekick for three underachievers and a hairball?
K: Hey he was a free agent, he could have left for nothing.
S: Yeah.. I couldn't have been that lucky.



Moral of the story. Kobe wants a max deal cause he's a star (and he'll need it to pay the legal bill J/K). The Lakers will be able to pay him more than anyone and if he leaves it'll be in a sign and trade. Houston doesn't have anything to offer that the Lakers (err.. read Shaq) would say yest to. He's not coming to Houston, it will most likely be N.Y., Miami, or maybe he'll try to pull off the ultimate coup and walk across the street to play for the Clippers and see if he can make them a contender (ok just kidding).

 

you have to add something.

Kup: You won't play for the mle

Kobe: uh you're right

 

Sorry, forgot those lines. Either way. If Kobe really wants to stick it to Shaq, he needs to go make the Clippers contenders. Personally I'd be surprised if he wasn't a Laker next year. And I certainly wouldn't be in a hurry to aquire him until the legal stuff is cleared up. And why not stay in L.A. where this part of his past will in the shuffle. Don't get me wrong assuming he's innocent, of rape, I want this guy. Anybody who's read my posts before (ok so that's like 3 or 4 people) knows that I'm not a fan of Francis at the PG position. But with Kobe and Yao even Mooch might be able to look good at the point (ok that may be a stretch). I just don't see it happening.

I don't mind the "alleged" its the "rapist" part that bothers me.

Seriously though, if he's found guilty then hopefully there is no rumor. Anyone who wants a convicted rapist is nuts. And if you ask me trying to aquire an alleged rapist is pretty sad.If he is found guilty he'll be playing in the penal league and the threads message will come to fruition anyways.
