I mean, if you're going to make up stories, Westbrook and Kevin to LA in 2 years when cap jumps, Kobe is gone, is plausible. Two UCLA guys post-Kobe trying to revitalize the team.
It's the scenario I always worried about. No one is going to play with a broken down Kobe who still screams at you like he's elite. Hypothetically, if your story is Love struggles to get along with Lebron, how the hell is he going to deal with Kobe? You get 10 times the awkwardness with a guy who isn't a top 50 player at this point. I fully expect Kobe to walk away after getting all his money at this time next year just like Nash did this week.
NY is simply laughable in any context. You have two teammates telling you every day that it was pure hell and a clownshow. You have an already overpaid Melo, and nothing else on the roster. It's absurd, and to hear SAS talk like it's plausible is silly even for that show, which is the worst show in the history of sports variety shows.
