Sources: Lakers eyeing Melo, LeBron

[daboywonder2002]

Neither are leaving. Miami is much better team than the Lakers and I think Melo wants to be in New York, he's an east coast dude.

dude melo's playoff success has been below average. i think him going to the lakers is not a stretch at all. you know lala would be down with it. to further her career.

And they are talking about Lebron is a dikk rider. Laker stans are the worst.

Look at them all getting giddy headed about Lebron and Melo, but yet, when Lebron went to south beach, all of a sudden he needs a super team to win

Word?



Where all the laker fans in this thread getting all happy?

The Los Angeles Lakers, whose plan to re-sign center Dwight Howard did not pan out this offseason, are poised to rebuild fast by focusing on the two biggest free agents of 2014 -- LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, front office sources have told ESPN.

Don't want to sound like Captain Obvious but, why wouldn't the Lakers be eyeing them. They just came off of an awful season where they were eclipsed by the lowly LA Clippers.

this was the part i thought was worth posting

Bryant told ESPN last week that said that he wants to play at least another two or three seasons, but since there have not yet been any extension talks with the Lakers as Bryant recovers from a ruptured Achilles' tendon, it's pointless to talk about what he'd be willing to play for.

Bryant will be the highest paid player in the league this year with a $30.5 million salary. For the Lakers to maintain enough room to pursue two max-level free agents, he'd need to play for quite a bit less.

"As a businessman the goal is always to not take a pay cut," Bryant said. "But ..."

Bryant told ESPNLosAngeles.com's Dave McMenamin last week that he intends to be involved in the Lakers' recruiting efforts for 2014 and is looped into the team's decision making.

"It's an open conversation, via text and also meeting in person and just picking up the phone and calling," Bryant said of his involvement. "They've kept me in the loop pretty well."

It ain't ever going to happen, but even in a miracle way this happens, shyt wouldn't sit well with me. Too much of a New York Yankee type of move. Wouldn't mind Melo, since he doesn't have a ring, but I ain't trying to see Bron in LA at all. Even though he is the best in the league and already one of the best to play ever, shyt would not be right for me to be rooting for Bron as a Laker fan. Pat Riley has a better chance of having Bron & Melo playing together than the Laker do.

the heat aint willing to spend to win , the lakers are and are gonna make it happen

Need to save a lot of posts from the Lakers' fans about LeBron in case it does happen.

They'll crown him the GOAT right there on the spot.

You know how nikkas in here are so fukking stupid that they say shyt that isnt happening, and "follow the leader" ass nikkas give em props for saying it.


I havent seen 1 member of the LWO in here talking about "Yes, we getting em both "


I dont even WANT LeBron James on the Lakers. I wouldnt mind Carmelo, cause he deserves a ring imo since Wade/Bron/Bosh all have 2+ rings, but I dont want LeBron James.

Melo coming to Dallas

:deadware:@Lakers management dreaming

If Dwight left LA, what makes them think Melo or King James would leave their current teams for a shytty franchise

Dwight is a coward who could not handle the spotlight and handle not being treated like a baby by the team. What does it say when you have a great teammate in Nash calling him out last season multiple times in the media? When guys like Nash and Pau don't like you it says a lot about you. When have you ever heard of someone say Nash and Pau are bad teammates?

It's not like the Knicks have a better chance of winning a ring. Did you forget that Melo's kids live in LA with Lala?

I guess you never heard that Melo and Kobe are best friends.

 

[cleanface coney]

lolol if Dwight Howard bytch ass couldnt handle LA, imagine how Melo emotional crybaby ass would do....lolol Knicks can keep dat nikka

 

[blackzeus]

dude melo's playoff success has been below average. i think him going to the lakers is not a stretch at all. you know lala would be down with it. to further her career.

I wonder how she'll manage to do that?

As long as they sell chocolate milk there, Melo will find a way to cope

 

[Bolzmark]

I don't think they're getting neither. As long as Kobe is still there, no prime time star will want to play with him.

At what point do the Lakers stop making decisions based on Bryant who has maybe 2 or 3 years left?

 

[23Barrettcity]

Kobe already said he's not taking a paycut

Melo isn't going to play for D'Antoni again

Bron isn't gonna dip out on his friends Wade/Bosh

Why does this story have legs?

SAS trying to get headlines for the espn the way he reports it is silly like yes the lakers want bron and melo cool .... But then he adds that it's not a good chance they get bron (duh) and he's not saying melo is going its just a possibility (duh) guys manufacturing stories
