Sound off: Who Should LA Surround Kobe With the Next Two Years?

Anybody but Melo. Don't want him anywhere near LA.

Wait, what? Eric Bledsoe will be a RFA. Anthony Davis has been in the league ONE YEAR. Meaning he won't even be a RFA until 2016. And then he will sign an extension for at least 3 years (no team has ever let a star RFA go, at least in the modern NBA), meaning he won't be a true free agent until 2019/2020.

He did it on 2k with salary cap turned off get off his back.

They're gonna end up surrounding him with one other great player, some other decent, probably past their prime starters and then a complete **** bench because that's what they can afford.

I think Lakers management should go after 2 good offensive rebounder's. I personally don't know who they can actually sign next off season, but it's not looking so well since Kobe resigned instead of waiting until the off season.

Don't worry man, it's just Kobe posing as a regular dude to prove his point that fans don't know **** about the cap lol.

Kevin Love is a great choice. He can play in a different area than Kobe. I think Kobe was the most effective player from the post last year, including all positions. Coming back from his injury, that aspect of his game might not change much, since it's more about strength, skill and footwork than jumping ability or explosiveness.

With Kobe and Kevin, you need a PG who can hit 3's and guard his position. A Chalmers-type is fine. You don't need a superstar at the position. For your SF and C, you need guys who can defend the P&R and rebound. A knockdown shooter at the SF position makes Kobe very, very hard to defend, especially since you can't foul him to lower his productivity. Basically, the Lakers can use a modified version of what the Celtics won with.

i find it funny that you can find people chanting MVP at away games for kobe, but as soon as you go online there is non stop haters. This proves they need an age limit on the internet.
