Kobe meets with Melo for possible 2014 destination

[BEazy]

Good I hope Kobe hates LeBron. Don't want him anywhere near this team.

I don't want Lebron either, but if he came knocking I wouldn't shut the door.

[Wile E. Coyote]

You guys are crazy.

I'd take LeBron in a second if he wanted to come to LA.

[Sedale Threatt]

You guys are crazy.

SAS says Lebron desires to play with Melo. lol

Lebron will like to play with anyone who can bail him out at the end of games.

I don't want Lebron either, but if he came knocking I wouldn't shut the door.

After Howard didn't want to play here. I would welcome any super star that wanted to play here.

To me it's the reason why he's leaving the Knicks. If he's thinking of bolting after the kind of season the Knicks had; 50 + wins, first division title in 19 years, out of the first round in 13 years than screw him. Maybe I'm just bitter about Dwight, but I'm sick of tired of primadonna attitude that 'superstars' seem to have these days. What if the Lakers have a similar record a couple years in his deal, would he want out again? He was on a 50+ win Denver team also.

It would be nice if some superstars would actually gut it through the "tougher" times with their teams.

I know it's possible that they could play together financially, but what I wonder is don't they sort of fill the same role? Offensively, I guess it could work, but defensively small, fast teams would P-n-R them to death? And does anyone actually believe LeBron wants to play with Mello of all people considering the similarity in position?

That's the beauty of LeBron -- with his skill set, he can play and thrive next to anyone, on either end of the court. They've played on three Olympic teams together and are reportedly pretty tight. Melo would have to get used to playing without the ball, but that would only help him. Not going to get my hopes up for this, but I can't imagine a good coach wouldn't figure out how to make this work.

the big thing for me is that both can play both forward positions and destroy the PF rotation of any team
