This has been reported all over the internets the past few days, including here where Mark Miller makes it sound like it's a huge sacrifice on Kobe's part to allow Bell into his life for the betterment of the team.

Gag.

We all know Raja - or at least, we knew him 2 years ago. The Raja Bell I knew would never sign up with Kobe to be his teammate. Worse yet, to be Kobe's BACKUP at shooting guard. To ride Kobe's coattails to a championship. In other words, to be Kobe's beeyatch.

I could go on and on and on about this. 

But I'll just say one more thing: I hope this is just a ruse to clothesline Kobe one more time. 

Be that figuratively, metaphorically or literally, I don't care. 

Let's hear your take. Tell us how you feel about this potential pairing?
