I just dont see this team not being top 3 seeded MINIMUM with a Prime Kobe.... AND KUZMA...Ingram...Lonzo.... like jesus christ. Add Rondo off the bench, Kobe would be laughing all the way to a top 3 seed.

You give Kobe a guy that can give you 30 easily + fresh legs to defends.... boy.... 2006 would have been a straight sweep of the West.

He's got a go to scorer in Kuzma.
Lonzo the best PG defender.
Ingram an elite wing defender.
Its fking nuts. And you wouldnt see Kobe taking days off like tonight...
current Kuzma might be the 2nd/3rd best player Kobe's EVER played with. Let that sink in man
Definitely top 4 in west. Maybe top 3.

And Rondo would be the best PG he's played with.

Kobe went 2-17 when the Lakers lost Odom in 2005 which was KOBE'S PRIME..
Kobe also wouldn't have forced a trade to dump zubac for some random shooter. He also wouldn't force ingram to play in a different position.
He would have a team
ball
kobe
ingram
kuz
zu

Lamar was similar to ingram at the same age, but Lamar fell off a lot by the time Kobe got him..
Btw, I don't know why you guys keep posting the Olympic pics, because after 2000 they started sending 2nd tier players, not a full team of top guys like before.
And Kuzma >> any teammate that post-shaq Kobe had outside of Gasol, and that small gap is closing by the second.. Kuzma/Ingram compare to Pau/Odom, and I don't see any rondo, lonzo, hart, pope, lance.. lance would take smush's spot so fast.... hart destroys vujacic, etc
perhaps misunderstood
are we talking PRIME 05'-06'ish Kobe?
insinuating he has to be at his pinnacle age to actually deliver?
Or we talking a 34yo equivalence prime Kobe?

34 year old Kobe dragged THAT team to the playoffs as well.... :facepalm
[B]2004[/B] Lamar Odom: 17.7ppg, 9.7reb, 4.1 ast, 48%fg
But hey lets not forget, D'antoni/Nash 05-06 era was much MUCH harder to score back then compared to Zo/Ingraham ref treatment. No?

And yet even with the plethora of talent acquired from Shaq trade....
Still couldn't sniff Pau's Grizzleys or Elton's Clippers in W's :(
JRich/Dunleavy's Warriors were no joke!

You gonna do OP like that by spamming? Be careful now baby boi....
Plenty of your subject matter out there to hijack.
Troll fairly.
Triple edit that time, yikes
Don't blown a vein champ, the first draft was just as corny the fourth . :lol
