Might not be absurd but it is awfully hard to understand.
Why? Kobe wanted to only play for Lakers or Bulls and both teams were very mediocre when he was drafted.
I hope people don't believe this new BS that market size doesn't matter now.
Even a guy like LeBron would be much bigger if he won even 1 title in New York instead of Cleveland.
AD's off court deals which make him very little money right now would increase by a lot playing for the Lakers.
It is not like he would be going to a bad situation. He would have LeBron and money to either sign another star or a bunch of good role players.
how is that Lakers team not a top 2 team in the West? They probably become a real contender and one of the favorites now that KD is injured.
Kawhi was hated an year ago and now he is loved because he is winning. Unless you pull a KD, people love you as long as you are winning.
