The team he left in Orlando was better than the one that he went to in LA went he made the switch.
At the exact moment he signed with the Lakers yeah sure.
One would have to be purposely ignorant though to argue that the Lakers didnt have more resources to surround Shaq with championship quality players long term than the Magic.

You do realize the Lakers hire the best players from around the league to help Kobe win titles right?
Smush Parker, Luke Walton, Chris Mihm, and Kwame Brown were the best players in the league at one point?
Just stop posting. You are embarrassing your entire family. You keep it up, you will pay the Iron Price.

So basically, you don't have a problem with teams wanting to win championships, but you have a problem with players wanting to win championships.
Sometimes how you do things means more than what you do.

The only resource the Lakers had was cash. Same as the Magic and so on and such.

In case you forgot D Wade and LBJ are great friends from team USA. You have a problem with elite players going to play with their friends.
Yeah and all the guys from The Dream Team got along well too. How many of them said frick it, let's collude in free agency?

No the amount of money the Lakers had to spend was not the same as the Orlando Magic. It's a big difference.

arse hole 
I think you're leaving off some other players Kobe has had the luxury of riding to championships.
Hell when they got PG there were talks every day of him being THE best big man in the game.

Every team in the league has the same cap. This isn't baseball fool.

You take Kobe off those Lakers teams and they have no titles, plain and simple.

Lol no. He has never been the best power forward or center at any point of his career.

Do you not understand that the NBA doesn't share revenue, has a soft cap that includes a luxury tax?

I agree. Take Shaq off and the same applies.

I agree. But in no way, shape, or form did I pull that out of my arse. It was talked about almost daily back then.

Dude besides LeBron the only other halfway decent player they have is Wade. If he had stayed on the Cavs I have no doubt he would still have 2 rings. If Wade and Bosh had been what they were supposed to be that would be one thing but they have not been that great at all during these playoffs.

Those guys were in their late 30's when they played together. Hakeem wasn't on TDT.

2 of the 4 were already there and weren't on The Dream Team. Hell only one of those guys was on the team. Payton and Malone were 35 and 40 when they signed.
Show me another time where 3 HOFes (at least potential ones) decided to join up on one NBA team in the same offseason while all 3 were in their prime.

They won two titles without Shaq and played for a third. Shaq has never won a title without an elite guard either.

Yeah except for Bosh being a multiple time All-Sta who was averaging like 24-12 before he came to the Heat and all.

$5 says that I can prove that Wade played better for the Heat in these playoffs than Pippen did for the Bulls during one of their playoff title runs. Take the bet son.

Yeah after they changed the team around to help Kobe. They were serious dog shite after Shaq left.
