So many quotes like this taken out of context. He said he gave it a thought about what it could be like but wanted LA.
Also see people getting mad about his favorite 5 shooting guards lol

I mean if they gave him $30-$50 million more than the Lakers, he’d be an idiot not to.

Kobe thought about playing with other teams before he signed contracts with the Lakers. Any time you get the opportunity to change where you work before a long-term contract, it’s only natural to consider all your options. You’d be crazy not to.

Out of context. As a free agent, albeit restricted, him and his agent still have to think about opportunities. Of course he thought about it. It’s his right.

He opted not to get drafted so he could be a Laker. He re-signed with us on a team friendly contract because he wants to be a Laker.
I like him.
I like him even more now for blue-balling those Texas chumps. First class player, first class troll 😎

Shut Up Austin no you didn’t

I wonder how much they offered

He never considered he just said those were the 2 teams that tried to steal him
xxDankerstein
He basically said these are the teams he looked at signing with IF the Lakers didn’t bring him back. Lakers were always by far his #1 choice.

Fans forget NBA players are just people… Just like almost everyone else they consider other jobs, offers and opportunities when they present themselves.

In the sense that those teams were the only ones that could realistically bid against the Lakers given their cap space.

Downvoting. Misleading headline.

He said if he couldn’t go to the Lakers then those are the 2 teams he would pick, but he always wanted to be a Laker. Let’s not get worked up about this, OP.

The Lakers screwed him financially. Scared other teams from making an offer.

Fake news he admitted to wanting to be a Laker for life
incredibleamadeuscho
I was afraid the Spurs were gonna fuck around and go for him. I think Austin would be great with Wemby. Lucky for us, that aint happening anytime soon.
