What if Kobe Bryant is a Blazer?

by RipCity on Jul 4, 2008 1:46 PM PDT Comment 30 comments

Ok before you destroy my post for saying that I want to give a few arguments that it is possible. When its all said and done the team is about wining championships. I dont really hate Kobe because I know someone that has exact character as Bryant, so I can understand him. I just hate him because he plays for the L*kers. I hate that team, so if something is in that team I hate it too, but not on the personal level. I can see Kobe opting out of his contract in summer 2009 to get his last big contract. Plus if he opts out in 2010 he will be older and there is competion with LeBron, Wade, Bosh for good contracts. In 2009 he will easy be the biggest unristricted free agent, so that works better for him to opt out then, than a year later. Plus Bynums agent is theatening to leave if his client wont get a max contract(80 million over 5 years). But that said, it wont happen if the L*kers win the champion next year. I remember Kobe was allways complementive of the Blazers last season. He said that out team has a bright future. I think that Kobe is smart and he can see that if L*akers cant win the ring then there is nothing left to do on their roster for a vet like him. Basketball is his job, so he knows who has the most cap space at what time, and where is the best chance to rub it in Shaqs face, and win a ring. I can see the Blazers as the best chance to win a ring, and Kobe likes to play with young guys because they listen( unlike older players that alredy have an agenda), so it is easy for him to be him self. I dont think that if Kobe would opt out KP would not go after him. On what player can KP spend the money we will have in 2009, there wont be no Chris Paul, and probably no Deron williams? I know that Blazers can make a sign and trade with some team, but its as possible that Blazers can sign Bryant. i dont think that he is going to be a problem in the locker room, because our guys will respect him, because they are good guys, and he is a MVP, that won 3 rings. There is no quetion about it that he will be respected on our team(I dont know about our fans, but as soon as we are the best team in the NBA, fans will start to like him, like he was loved in LA). Yeah the only negative is his past. But there is nothing like beating his wife or getting caught with drugs(drugs? everybody wish that drugs got leagal). I heard some one on the radio say that KP has something really big up his sleeve, and that it will really hurt our rivals. So I dont exculed the possibility that Kobe can play on our team. More over I would be happy to get him here, I think that he is good guy that got a little spoiled. I dont really care what fans of other teams will call us if he would be a Blazer. Im sorry if I wrote the article in a way hard to read, but Im not sorry for saying that I think that he would be good for the Blazers, because Im hungry for championships, and I think that alot people are hypocrits because he plays for the L*akers and not their team.

Kobe has too big of ego...

to play second fiddle to Oden. By 2010, Oden will be the man. And then Kobe’s legacy would be how he couldn’t win without another are time Center playing beside him. There’s way Kobe could suck his pride that much.

Furthermore, he is a rapist; I don’t want that on my team.

Agreed

I don’t want him on my team. I’m not a hypcrite now, but I would be if he was on our team and i cheered for him. If it came down to winning with Kobe or losing with our guys, i’d rather lose. (i can say that because i know we’re going to win anyway!!)

Won't need him

By that time the writing will be on the wall and he won’t be a needed piece for Championships.

Where would he play?

His natural position is 2 guard, and Roy is already there. Throw in the fact we also still have Aldridge and Oden….where are his shots going to come from? I’m just not a fan of bringing someone with that big of an ego on our team, regardless of how good of a player he is!

I don't consider myself a hater...

in fact I really hate the term.

I also really hate this idea.

I'm not opposed to signing him

We could always use a new ball boy.

Even if it...

was a guarantee that Kobe would bring us 5 consecutive championships, I would still say NO!
The day that Kobe dons a Blazer jersey is the day I discontinue my 25 year Blazer fan membership.
I am a Kobe hater and proud of it.

To hate Kb is to hate the lakers

ok I dont like to say I hate anyone or anything but let the truth be known I hate the l*kers. I always have and always will. I know hate is a superficial expression but it would be entirely innapropriate to describe in any detail the true reasons behind my feelings. Im probly gonna get banned for saying this but magic, kareem, worthy, silk, malone…. just to name a few. dave I beg you for one more chance.

not only a terrible idea, but

it wont/cant/shouldnt happen

The kind of deal kobe would get if he opts out after next season is the kind of deal that will commit a franchise for the next decade, and the blazers are currently not about log-jamming their salary cap situation. Especially for the little baby.

I could have imagined him signing with the Bulls last year

But now that he has a team that is good to win again (latest when Bynum is back), he will stay a L*ker. Also because it’s the team that has learnt to cope with his bad moods and attitude on and off the court. Oh yeah, despite all claims to the contrary by LA fans and media Kobe still is not a nice teammate to have.

Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...

Blasphemy!!!

Kobe on our Team would be bad … Kobe is plain flat out … all about Kobe … Phil Jackson knows this , Shaq knows this , Karl Malone knows this Gary Payton knows this ..

I cant believe this is even a topic I mean really ?
Yeah KB24 is one of the top players in the league with out question ..
1 of the top 3 in the league right now … but the fact is .. the guy is one of the worst teammates in the HISTORY of the NBA …

And with the guys past who really would like to have him on the blazers team ?

Not I for one if my vote counts ..

He will absoluty tear this great team apart with that huge ego .. thats not even debatable . LOOK WHAT HE DID TO A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM !!!!!

Please for the love of ALL things sacred … KEEP Bryant outta Portland …..

I think

that if you look at the finals it was not about him, his teamates suck thats why they didnt win the ring. I can see that he has some ego, but for me its not that scary. Every body has an ego, but he just dont know how to hide it, because thats what drove him to be the best.

I forsee only one possibility

the encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum, and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that’s a worse case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy.

Blobe ???

This is about the thrid post about this same question in
the last six month’s. Drop it already! Every Blazer fans hates
him to the core and if you don’t, you are not a “Real” Blazer
fan ! My hatred of that team formerly from Minneapolis goes back
to Magic/B. Scott, etc. I don’t want to even see the name Blobe and
the Blazers in the same sentence unless it’s the headline:
Blazers crush Blobe & the L@%*#$ in blowout win !

Stop this immediatly or I will find you !

It's GO time !

no thanks

Getting K*be would mean getting rid of Roy. That is the blazer fan equivalent of selling your soul to the devil…

The only way that this happens is if...

Paul Allen and the entire Blazer management team become victims of an

Invasion of the Body Snachers!

Evil Aliens taking over, yep, that is the only way.

Come to think of it I am starting to wonder about you now, RipCity.

Are you really still the real RipCity or have you been consumed by an evil alien?

You could probaly

just buy a jersy. heres a thought, go to the blazers website and have them make a costom Kobe-Blazers jersey. see if they will. they advertise that there will be exceptions to what they will do, is that one?
