If you have been paying ANY attention tho past decade starting with Boston I suppose these players are just buddying up to create big power teams who contend. Unfortunately for Kobe he has no buddies haha. Once he's gone though it just takes 2 guys to say let's meet up in L.A. and be Lakers then it can breathe again.
