The Lakers were way too committed to Kobe to let him go (at least prior to his Achilles injury). Maybe if he tore his Achilles at that time, it could have happened. But that was 3 years after. The Lakers is a FAMILY owned team, and they treat their players like a family owned team... so with Kobe's committment for 17 years I don't see them getting rid of him. Think about it... in 2010, Lebron had not one a SINGLE title. Why would they drop a proven champion for Lebron, who keeps losing in the east??? Just wouldn't have happened.

I'd heard via a podcast (Paul Shirley) around 2012, that despite Chris Paul having great respect for Kobe, he didn't want to play with him; information that Shirley had heard about. People always get on Stern about blocking that trade, but that's the only logical reason that he would have done so. Even if the NBA owned and were running the Hornets (Pelicans) at that time, didn't mean that they weren't going to allow any trades; especially if it benefited the Hornets. Think about it, they (the NBA) still wound up trading CP3 to the Clippers shortly after, while they were still operating the team. On top of this, it's not like the NBA doesn't have a history of bending over backwards to make something work for the Lakers. Anthony Davis. Shaq. Kareem. Howard. Pau Gasol.

@@aaronm8552 oh you were referring to that I was thinking about the trade he was talking about

This right here....I remember this the same. They hated the Lakers

isnt this hilarious. They though Lebron with DWade & Chris Bosh was ok. But Just Kobe with 1 other Star, they're flippin out. Shows you what they think of Kobe and how little they thought of Lebron. (AND they were right. Lebron lost his first season there)

It wouldn’t have been just one more star though. It would have been CP3, Kobe, Dwight Howard, Gilbert Arenas, and 24 mil in cap space to pick up 2 more All-Stars/Superstars. That would have been a nightmare for the league in terms of competition and revenue. At that time no other team would come close.

@@RobWithLeh I can't say Gilbert for sure, but you're definitely right about the other names you mentioned.

@@ExilixE I thought it was strange they didn't reject that trade too at the time because why I mentioned they rejected the Lakers' trade.

You sound like those weird Kobe nut-huggers from Insidehoops. Lmfao. That's such a wild take lmfao.

I heard a conspiracy that mavs won cuz nba owed them from 06 and I’m sure u know what I’m talking Bout. But word of mouf is Cuban was gone expose LeRoids ped use 🤷🏾‍♂️

Real shit 🤨

No this trade happened after the Mavs won the finals

Each owner owned 1/29th of the Pelicans at the time. Dan Gilbert and Cuban led the "No" charge. The thing is that this was the first major deal after the lockout, which was all about smaller markets getting their talent poached by bigger markets. I think the timing of it is what did them in ultimately.

There were a lot of factors, but the main reason was because the League didn't want to witness the possible reemergence of the Khan Dynasty😂

NBA EVEN STIRRED DRAMA TO BREAK THEM UP… That’s apart of the “THEY didn’t want Kobe with 7-8 rings”

And if they had won 7 rings it's obvious as well the measuring stick would be Kobe instead of Jordan it's as the league is indebted to Jordan and holds that in high regard. It makes sense even with lebron because if lebron had won that many Jordan would be forgotten this has many layers to it

He just told you that nobody was thinking about Kobe. LOL. Kill the myth already.

Shaq mind set was great. His career would have been over a lot sooner if he worked like kobe. He was getting hit so much that the refs said the game would last 4hrs if they called ever hard foul. HBO max has a great doc on shaq to show why things turned out the way they did.

7-8 lol relax dude...they would have been lucky to even get one...Kobe was old already...and Dwight had back issues...but man for sure maybe one ring

Gil was washed that's why Orlando was desperate to get rid of his contract

@@trashboat4020 Also, Dwight blew out his back in LA.

@@directedbydon that was the year after. His back would’ve been fine. He got hurt in Orlando. Butterfly effect

​@@directedbydon also Dwight averages close to 20points and a less workload with cp3 feeding him

The Lakers where going to immediately waive Gil and use that 24 million in salary cap space to go after LeBron or KD or Bosh or any other max players. It would have been team USA in LA. We kinda got that in Golden State for 4 years but this would have been even more crazy

Dude with that line up the Warriors would not be winning no championship.

@@melvincarter9640 With what lineup? He used Bron & Bosh as an example. Those 2 were already in Miami so which other 2 free agent players you'd find that time that would make a better or similar pairing? Howard had a bad back and was never the same player in the years that followed & CP is a pass first PG & Kobe was done after 2013. On paper it looks good but when you really think about it the extreme most they'd have won in the 2010s decade is probably 2. And that is me being generous because 2011 is likely the only genuine shot at making a final. Kobe wouldn't offer much after 2013 due to injuries and there is no equivalent player to that guy at that time on the market. Only LeBron and he wasn't available.

@@diegobromfield either one of those line up would have beaten the Warriors dude. LeBron , Kobe , Howard , Bosh and CP would have blown the doors off the Warriors.

@@diegobromfield I don't think you know what you're talking about. If the Lakers pulled out that trade things would have been a lot different the Warriors had no answer for a team like that.

We are not believing you bruh bruh

Teams could only amnesty their own player too so from the beginning he was making shit up

Bruh you have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about and you clearly didn’t pay attention to what Gilbert said at all😂 First of all, there were multiple owners who opposed, and complained about the Chris Paul trade, and Mark Cuban was one of them. You can literally go back and look at the reports from 2011. And Gilbert stated multiple times that he wasn’t talking about the Lakers signing LeBron. He said the Lakers could sign all star caliber help with the money left over. Bruh said it so many times, you gotta be slow in the head

Everyone glossing over your comment. This guy was spitting a ton of cap.

New Orleans would have received Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, Lamar Odom re-routed for a 1st, future picks. They would have had a fairly competitive team they already had Emeka Okafor, Carl Landry, Jarret Jack, Trevor Ariza, Marco Belinelli. After the Veto NOLA had talks with GSW, they would have received Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson if Chris Paul agreed to an extension.

@@aslan4196 no it wouldn’t have. They would have been a first round exit at best. Why should the team given up the best player get the role player and not at least Gasol. Lakers fans swear that was great. And yeah Paul vetoed the trade for Curry..that’s why I’m glad they blocked that trade

@@mont-doggBeats they still got shit from lac

@@Hitch_49 true

My advice is to watch Jeanie Buss explain why it didn’t go thru. It’s the more valid reason …. The only reason the other owners were upset was because they didn’t get the opportunity to properly give their own trade packages put together….

He legit just say it was deeper then that. If it had been to any other team just coming off a back to back that was a major market, it's the same story.

According to Jeanie buss the trade was a done deal, the teams value didn’t matter. When the other owners got wind of basically the “secret negotiations”they were upset because they weren’t able to make their own offers.

Too bad half of what he says doesn’t make sense or is a flat out lie. The man establishes that 24 is the max then proceeds to say the lakers could clear 24m and add 2 max players.

The luxury tax was that punitive yet. So Lakers would have just paid it in exchange for top players.

Who would? Lebron in that cavs team, I’m surprise they win 60+ games that season.

5-7 ALL SARS WAS NOT HAPPENING. A MAX CONTRACT WAS 20M BACK THEN NOT 12M. IDK WTF GIL IS TALKING ABOUT IN THIS VIDEO

@@camerondrain8166 he just likes to talk

Actually Gil is right in the highest paid player in the league in 06/07 was KG at 21 million in his second to last year of his deal. Guys like Amare, Pierce, TMAC, Vince, and Lebron we’re making less than 15 million. Kobe home self only made 17 that year and it was his 2nd to last year of his deal. Typically NBA deal increase by about 5 - 8 million dollars yearly over the course of the contract so it’s possible to only have a 12-15 million dollar cap hit for a max player back then. Contracts now are just super inflated. The overall salary cap has double since then which is why max contracts are at about 30 mil now(excluding super max deals)

Someone who gets it. That trade was awful for NOLA. "Why wouldn't the NBA want Gasol and Odom on their team?" WTF would the NBA do with that?? Gasol needed kobe, a system and would end up declining physically anyway. Odom LITERALLY lost his mind because he was traded and his career imploded. Can everything that Gil is saying be true on the business end, absolutely. But it wasn't some anti-laker conspiracy. If NOLA was privately owned and the GM made that trade, they'd be fired immediately. It was horrible.

Well it was a 3 team trade and it was CP3 to the Lakers. Kevin Martin (avging 23ppg) Odom, Luis scola (avging 18ppg), and a young dragic to the hornets. Pau and a first and 2nd pick to the rockets. The hornets are literally winning this whole trade.

Then why did Cp get traded to clippers a little bit after that

@@ilgizmamedov2147 if you lose the best player in any trade, you automatically lose that trade. That’s how it works.

He really wasn't saying they were going to go get lebron and Bosh he was just saying they would have had a lot more money to spend they would have use that money roll players I did here Kobe say one time if the Paul trade would happen it was going to clear up a lot of cap space he didn't go into detail how

No. They all took less to team up. Bron was at 12-13 million starting and that wasn’t much less than max back then

@@michaelbaez9164 I'm pretty sure he was closer to 15 starting. Maybe 18 is the average I was thinking of.

LeBron and Bosh signed 6 year $110 million dollar deals. Starting at $14.5 million with a opt out clause after 5 years. Wade took a little less. It’s crazy cause a little more than 10 years after they signed those deals those same max contracts are more than double with 5 years.

If I see Kobe, Chris Paul & Dwight, I'd gladly take 1-3 million less to create a dynasty easy.

but he got traded to the clippers anyway shortly after, what are you talking about.

The Lakers where going to send Odom who was an all-star and Pau Gasol another all star for cp3 wtf u on lol. Please don't tell me the package the clips sent was better. Their was an agenda in place

I ain’t gon lie me to I want to call cap on this so bad

at least there are a few that can think logically 👍

That's it. All of this is nonsense. To add, CP3 and Kobe never would have worked out. Kobe never wanted to play with a ball dominant PG, and CP3 is not the type of guy to take anyone's crap; they would have been fighting early on. People forget about the (few) healthy games Nash played with Kobe, and Kobe was calling for the ball the moment Nash crossed the center line, which pretty much handcuffed Nash (and D'Antoni's ball movement offense). That whole team was a trainwreck (Kobe included and his stats that year were impressive but misleading). I'd heard well over a decade ago, that - at least in part - CP3 didn't want to play with Kobe; though he always had great respect for him (and he probably wanted to keep it that way). I also think CP3 never wants to play with LeBron; even though they're close friends. And it's not like the Lakers have EVER had a history of getting shafted by the NBA. Pau Gasol, Kareem, Dwight Howard, Anthony Davis, Shaq and Kobe (Kobe didn't want to play for Charlotte) in '96, etc.
