This rumor is for real, I know Gambo is a big mouth but he does have good inside sources.

Imagine this.

Teams can't even stop Kobe or TMac, imagine them trying to stop TMac AND Kobe and still worry about Amare.

3 guys who will score almost at will if you don't double team and won't be exploited defesively like other high scoring teams.

SICK

If this happened I bet you couldn't get tickets for a Suns game in years.

Hmmm, even thoug i dont like KOb,e why not. I do like Mcgrady though. I sa yMarion and #1 pick for mcgrady after this year.

Well, I think Gambo is out of his gord on this one, but who knows.. NBA itself has been out of its gord so I would never say never.

What a team to watch though.. wow. I don't want to get excited because it's such a crazy rumor but that would be amazing, and all the people who bashed the C's would look like idiots..

Chasemeifucan

That would be the end of competitive basketball as we know it. You think LA is ridiculous now. Try putting three of the brightest and youngest talents in one starting line up. Phoenix would be a dynasty. Can you say ticket price increase?

Arclite

Yeah.. there are so many ifs though. Hard to see all the pieces fitting together, but you never know..

T-Mac,Kobe , and Amare on the same team?? Its okay BigAmare, were all dreamers buddy

I don't need to make it up, it was reported on the radio as a rumor by a reliable source.

No personal attacks.

Joe Johnson #2

This is a dream seriously we don't have the cash to go after one of them let alone both. We all know that Gambo isn't very reliable when it comes to anything besides hockey and i wouldn't trust him on anything.

Amareca

We will have the cash to offer Kobe the max and still sign a medium FA.

That's is after we dump White which we will surely do.

Gambo is a big mouth but when he says something will absolutely happen he doesn't pull it out of his behind. He has been right several times before when he said something would absolutely happen.

He called the Cabarkapa draft more than a month before the draft even before the Suns worked out the draft prospects really.

He called the Googs trade way before. He has sources that is undeniable.

Him and his partner were very adament about this and said before that the offseason will shock people and make them applaud trading Marbury.

He said his source is a high official of the Suns.

Kobe AND McGrady!!! I could see that one working out. McGrady would more than likely move into a Pippen-role of playing the D and basically playing Point. Cause he actually wants to play with some Great teammates. Kobe would seriously take OVER the L. MAN!!! I'm praying for this now. And I'm a Laker fan!!! I just want to see McGrady and Kobe take over the League and show KG and TD and Shaq that guards CAN dominate. WOW!!! This is soo exciting. If Phoenix can land Kobe, expect somehting happening on the McGrady front, cause he and Kobe used to be GREAT friends. But family life has parted them somewhat.

Amareca

Well concerning Kobe the rumors were always there that Phoenix would be his #1 destination despite Marc Stein insisting it it the Clippers.

Chad Ford also thinks Phoenix is #1 on his list I think.

Some rumors about Kobe signing in Phoenix

- Kobe was D'antonis neighbour in italy, fact
- Kobe's father played against D'Antoni in Italy, fact
- Colagenlo has always held Kobe in high regard, fact
- Colangelo has said several times that Kobe was the first player he saw in a draft workout that he was 100% sold on , the next was Amare who reminded him of Kobe, fact
- Phoenix was one of the teams that Kobe wanted to be drafted to, fact
- Colangelo and the Bryant family had dinner before draft and it was seen as a sure thing that they would draft Kobe, fact
- Kobe wears #8 as an honor to Mike D'Antoni who was a legend in italy wearing #8, rumor
- Phoenix is the most attractive FA market that has money, fact
- Kobe was almost traded for Kidd a few years ago, I think that is a fact also

The Colangelos were also very high on Tracy McGrady and wanted to trade up to get him but couldn't.

I think Kobe coming to Phoenix is a very good possibility, I think TMac coming to Phoenix can be done without Amare but it depends on wether that is really their plan and how much they even want to give up.

Some Orlando fans are demanding Amare, lol , we all know that wouldn't happen even if contracts were equal and straight up.

#1SUNFAN

The Suns offered Marion and Kidd for Bryant while he and Shaq were feuding. The Lakers turned it down.

Petey

Others sound pretty good but this is reaching. How is that fact? Different players have different attractions.

I think what people don't realize is that a LA max contract is actually much much greater then the max contract other teams can offer him. I doubt that has a part, thought I would just mention it.

-Petey

Amareca

LA can offer 7yrs 140M$, Phoenix something like 6yrs/100M$.

I doubt that money difference is what would keep Kobe in LA.

Speaking in general Phoenix is a more attractive FA market than Denver, Utah or Atlanta.


Weather, Golf, LA 2 hours flight away, not so much media pressure.

Sports athletes come to Phoenix to live and or retire, they don't go to Denver or wherever.

Phoenix also has the fastest growing population as far as I know so that underlines my statement I guess that Phoenix is a more attractive place to live in general.

PhatDaddy3100

Your right, Phoenix is defenitly more attractive than Denver or Utah. and i think Kobe wants to get out of LA so he might come here.
