The Lakers introduced new free agent pickups Roy Hibbert, Lou Williams, and Brandon Bass at a press conference today and it seemed like a light-hearted, fun affair. They've got their new jerseys and hats, and get to meet the media who will be covering them day in, day out. It's a fun time; welcome to Los Angeles!

OK, now let's get down to brass tacks. First question: have any of you guys heard from Kobe, and if so, what did he say?

Response:

We're going to go ahead and take that as a "No." It's gonna be a real drag when Kobe retires.
