On Wednesday, as the NBA started throwing around money at free agents as if they couldn’t get rid of their cap space fast enough, it was reported that the Los Angeles Lakers were unable to sway LaMarcus Aldridge to join the purple and gold.
It was also reported by Mike Bresnahan of The Los Angeles Times that Aldridge wasn’t thrilled about his short conversation with Kobe Bryant during his meeting with the Lakers either.
More LMA: He and Kobe didn't quite gel. It's a little vague, but Aldridge apparently didn't quite get answers from Kobe he was seeking.

Kobe spoke for about three minutes in the presentation, said he envisioned LaMarcus Aldridge working with him the same way Pau Gasol did.

News of his supposed inability to “gel” with LaMarcus must have made its way back to the Black Mamba as the Lakers legend (and Twitter aficionado) took to Twitter to post his own thoughts on the day’s news.

As great as Kobe is at Twitter, he could use a little lesson on photo cropping. #justsayin
