Would Chris Paul/Kobe/Dwight have worked?

[sammichoffate]

Assuming that Dwight leaves Orlando for LA and the trade doesn't get blocked, do you guys think things would have played out the same with Dwight leaving?

Awful personality clashes.

[Gus Hemmingway]

Nope, Kobe needs a legit 1st option HOF player next to him for lakers to be a contender. CP3 Doesn't fit that role

[Black and White]

I honestly don't think they would have worked, theres only one ball, Dwights crying right now for touches and hes a 2nd option.

Awful personality clashes.Kobe and CP3 are basically the same, although CP3 most likely wouldn't have broken down like Nash so he could've assisted in the chemistry issues

Nothing more true has ever been said :cheers:

Contrary to belief, I think Kobe gave Dwight a decent amount of touches when they played together. Dwight was injured and too demanding though I guess

I think Kobe and CP3 could work, Dwight would be the issue for sure. What about this though, take out Dwight, just CP3, Kobe and Gasol with the right coach?

CP3 and Kobe are too ball-dominant to work well together.

It looks like a great 1-2 on paper, but their personalities would clash. Might even be worse than the Shaq-Kobe feud.

Except he's not the 2nd option....

Trevor Ariza and Marcus Thorton averages more shot attempts than Dwight.

In terms of usage % almost everybody has a higher usage rate on the team tha Dwight.

It's one thing to have shots taken away by Kobe and CP3, it's another to have shots taken away by Marcus Thorton and Ariza lol. Before anybody makes a comment about Dwight's post moves; I'd rather Dwight in the post than Thorton/Ariza throwing bricks.

[Lakers Fan]

Thanks David Stern. Lebron, Wade, Bosh. That's perfectly fine, but Kobe/CP3/Gasol was too unfair. :rolleyes:

Thornton is scoring 11 PPG shooting 43%/36%/88% off the bench. He's the second best scorer on this team and I'd take his offense 10 times out of 10 compared to 2016 Dwight.

If you think Dwight is still good then I hope the idiots in Toronto picks him up so you can see for yourself how garbage he is.

No. CP3 would soon realize Kobe is a ballhogging clown and they would clash.
