Count me as skeptical right now, but I'm also hopeful that we can pull off this miracle!

Hello Lakers Fans.

Let me first off let me state I am actually not a Lakers fan but a huge Kobe Fan. I am actually a Rockets Fan (i know many of you probably don't like the Rockets). But I have come across some very interesting information from someone who posts on Clutchfans the Rockets forum from a VERY CREDIBLE user in cyberx who has dropped countless times insider information including ASIK coming to Houston and that Chicago was not going to match his contract. Also Dwight leaving LA he was the first one to mention to us that Dwight was having thoughts of potentially leaving the Lakers for the Rockets. All of these insider leaks were given way before Woj/Amick or any of the other credible reporters names could even take credit for these news breaks.

Well cyber dropped a bomb on us Rockets fans which many of us Rockets fans really didn't want to hear but I can assure you that this may please you as Lakers fans. But Lebron and Melo are looking to team up with Kobe in LA.

TRUST ME I CAN VOUCH FOR HIS CREDIBILITY. THE DUDE IS LEGIT!!!

Once he broke this information people began to start asking him multiple questions and he was going back and forth with them answering their queries for a couple of hours.

I have copied and pasted his entire post discussion this morning here below. Enjoy!

-------------
cyberx

Lakers feeling EXTREMELY CONFIDENT....

If Bron leaves Miami as well... Bosh will be chased with Kyle out and Melo.

Rockets love him.

-------------

cyberx

Gasol
Randle
Melo
Kobe

It isn't like that is a total lottery team, right? Better than the Knicks for sure.

Both players as reported have asked how they could play together in LA in BOTH meetings...

Lakers are jealous they don't have a trade partner like Morey does in Hinkie.

Teams are really starting to get annoyed lol (it's funny, they want the NBA to interject somehow)

Who is this? Kobe and Carmelo, how they could play together?
Bron+Melo... Lakers trying to make it happen.

Is it unlikely? Ya!

Yes, this isn't something I am breaking or anything.

Not bad for a super team, but the roster seems uneven and flawed though. Kobe/Anthony/James trio is crazy weird. Besides James, the team will be burnt on D.
No - the Lakers would have to renounce all the bird right for all those players.

Only min deals and their exception of 2.7 million.

People think Gasol may even sign for the minimum in this case and sign for big money in a year. Gasol is staying for the cheap if Lakers sign Melo or Bron, or of course both (which the Lakers are trying to do).

I would say it is looking more unlikely than ever before... Now is it over? No.

I understand fans don't love Kobe.
Players may not be best friends with him either.

But EVERY player I know RESPECTS him more than you could put into words.

If these two are willing to take that kind of discount to play together, they might as well do it in Miami with Bosh and Wade in an easier conference and in a state with no state income tax.
Randle hasn't been signed yet. Lakers are waiting to sign FA's first and THEN they will sign Randle.


That is why you may not see him in the summer league

If you are a max player with Kobe already on board, you are signing up for the notion that its basically you and Kobe with no ability to add significant help without you taking a major pay cut. Than you have to look at the payroll, and say... I'm the face of the franchise, and the future, but the guy who is supposed to be handing over the torch is making 2x what I'm making????

Also.... whose my F-Ing coach???

LOL.... This can't be anything more than leverage. The second Dallas started signing guys I knew Melo's camp would need to add in another contender with true max cap space (thought it would be Phoenix) because they NEED leverage to force NYN to give him a max offer sheet.

Its always been about going back to the Knicks. He just needed to put heat on them to make the roster better, create leverage to get paid, and frankly.... you can't blame him for wanting to get courted & get treated to some Lobster Skewers or whatever the heck they serve at Americas.


Part of the Lakers pitch was that they take
Care of their star players always.

Like Kobe's contract while injured and how Magics didn't get voided even
After his HIV announcement.

Melo and Bron come I think Lakers throw 10 mil to coach Cal.

I do know that if the Heat don't get their players back they may do a full rebuild and Riley may leave with Mickey Arisons son taking over.

They get to pick their coach.

As a free agent isn't that quite attractive?

If you could come to the rockets as a FA and pick someone wouldn't you?

Dwight liked McHale, but who else could say they are in love with it?

Hell - I even think coach K would possibly consider coming to be able to coach Bron/Melo/Kobe. (I haven't even heard that discussed, pure talking on my part)

I'll answer that in a few days when things clear up!

Not happening

Love front is quiet as can be now. Everyone worried about this FA stuff now.

Guys, it's not done that Melo is going to LA lol.

I'm just saying it's growing a lot lately.

As it comes.. I don't control everything lol

As soon as Lebron/Melo commit, everything will fall.

Some team may!

You never know.. Maybe Toronto would like Nash to have him finish his career in Canada or something.

I'm told that cyberx has some very nice connection within the Lakers organization.

Also with certain agencies that are agents of certain big name players.

I don't believe it until there are signatures under the contract.

I'm not too excited about Melo though. I would rather have a nice inside presence. How about signing him and getting Marc Gasol for him? Melo should love Memphis...

If Melo announces that he's signing with LA, we can 100% expect that Lebron will be a Laker as well. Melo ain't signing that Laker contract without Lebron giving him his word that he'll be joining him in LA.

Forgive my skepticism but anytime roster upgrades are associated with the Lakers this website gets trolled like the market in Hellboy 2.

So I'll believe this stuff when Carmelo or LeBron signs the contract with the blood of their first-born sons. Until then, I won't bet a wooden nickle on the credibility of these posts.

Puzzling why this AnonymousX was so desperate to cut-and-paste a thread of anonymous posters on a fan web site as if their speculations was important news.
