Kobe Bryant in Favor of Gilbert Arenas Signing
Gilbert Arenas has worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers, and apparently had a reasonably impressive showing. Kobe Bryant says he’s all for the Lakers taking a chance on the Hibachi. From the Daily News: “The Lakers dodged a few sprinkles Monday, then returned to their practice court for a workout and talked about possibly signing free agent point guard Gilbert Arenas in order to bolster their backcourt for the rest of the season. There was no place like home for the Lakers, who returned from their six-game trip in high spirits. Asked by reporters after practice if the Lakers needed Arenas, superstar guard Kobe Bryant said, ‘It certainly wouldn’t hurt.’ Bryant also said he didn’t have a problem with Arenas’ past, adding, ‘Everybody makes mistakes. He’ll be fine.’ When someone asked what Arenas would bring to the Lakers, Bryant said, ‘Hibachi,’ which is what Arenas used to say after he let his shots go. The 30-year-old Arenas, a former Grant High of Van Nuys standout, held a private workout for Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak on Sunday, and it went very well, according to a league source. A signing isn’t imminent, according to the source.”

younger, more athletic especially if he was administered the same treatment as Kobe Bryant (Best Player in NBA, very cerebral, he feels even younger like 26 years old. Please Lakers sign him, even if he scaores 10 points a game. at least it is better than Fisher 2 points in 33 minutes, and he has so much more chance after this treatment of regaining some type of explosiveness,and score 20 and some points, it would be a huuuuuuuuge help. I have lots of respect for Derick Fisher pat accomplishment, but I think unfortunately that his days re almost over. Make Arenas play 28 minutes, Steve Blake 10 minutes, and Fisher 10 minutes or when playing top teams giev Areanas 35 minutes play, Steve Blake 13 minutes. Areans will give you at leat 10 points which is really a help to Kobe Bryant. Pleeeeeeeease!!! Get a three point Shooter JR Smith, Lakers, please do not be dumb to let JR Smith go to Clippers. We desperately nees a three point threath shooter, with him we can become a championship caliber team. Pleeeeeeeeease!!! Change the Bench, it is the worst in NBA, they cannot shoot, nor take lay-ups. Where are Kopono and Murphy at the three point shooting? I do not see them anywhere. It would be a universe of good to change the bench. GOOOOOOOO!!!! Lakers, Kobe Bryant for MVP!!!!
@fat lever, id go nuts if the bulls signed him
