The Lakers say they aren’t consulting with Kobe on their coaching hire, draft or free agent decisions, but that doesn’t mean Bean won’t be making some calls of his own.
Melo returning 2day from Paris. Flying 2 LA. Sources say Kobe, n Europe 2, met w/him but Kobe denied it. Said he'll meet w/Melo n future tho
