Rudy Gay should not go to the Los Angeles Lakers. Not as long as Kobe Bryant is still donning purple and gold. Though the Memphis Grizzlies pulled the trigger on a deal that brought them beneath the luxury tax line and eliminated the need to deal Gay, speculation continues to run rampant.

Since unceremoniously departing from the Dallas Mavericks, West really hasn’t been linked heavily to any teams. The Los Angeles Lakers toiled with signing him for awhile, but ultimately passed. Aside from them, that’s [...]
