Durant says that Kobe knew Nash and Howard were coming to LA

"Kobe called that a month before it happened," Durant told Yahoo! Sports while promoting his new movie "Thunderstruck."

"I didn't believe him. He was just like, 'We are going to have Dwight. We are going to have Steve Nash.' He just talks a lot of trash, jokes and laughs. But he said it. I don't think anyone paid attention to it but me and him. He said it and it happened. And they got better, a lot better.

"Dwight's name was being thrown on every team. Houston, Brooklyn, the Lakers. But I guess he called it right."



"People outside, fans, media, of course they are going to say [the Lakers are the favorites] because on paper they have the best lineup in the league. But you still got to play the games. We respect everybody. We are going to go through the league respecting everybody as well.

"We already view ourselves as an elite team, but we have to prove it again. Last year is over with."



"It was a great move for [the Lakers]," Durant said. "[Howard] is the most dominant center in the league. It's going to make it tough on other teams. But I like that challenge. We all like that challenge in OKC. It should be fun.

"That's what the Lakers do. They make big moves. That's part of their DNA."

I have a hard time believing Kobe would just randomly pick up the phone and call Durant to say that. If true, wow.

It doesn't say that anywhere.

It said he called Durant and told them they were getting Dwight and Nash.

Nope.

Sounds almost like Kobe's some senile old man screaming out crazy predictions of the future. :roll:

So what your saying is the problem isn't fixed ? Stern stopped them from trading for Chris Paul and losing Bynum and Gasol

They end up keeping Gasol and getting Dwight Howard

You can't blame the system. The system didn't force the Magic to pass up other trades that were arguably better than the bullshit they got. Stupid is as stupid does.

It's always mind boggling, when bandwagon Lebron/Cavs/Heat fan try to talk about how the league is SUDDENLY rigged....ONLY when it appears that the Laker may win. Notice how they didn't have a problem with the league last season when the Heat won? Hilarious:roll:

I don't like Lebron. I'm a Nash fan :confusedshrug: . Still don't like the Lakers or Heat. A piece of me died when Nash signed for the Lakers but business is business I suppose.
