Kobe could influence Kidd to join Lakers to with MLE?

Could Kobe be pushing for Lakers to pursue Kidd with the MLE. It’s an interesting thought.

ESPN: The growing sense in Dallas is that there are only two threats to the Mavericks’ hopes of re-signing Jason Kidd this summer.

1. Kobe Bryant convincing big-guard-loving Phil Jackson and the Lakers to make a run at his dear friend Kidd with L.A.’s midlevel exception.

2. LeBron James convincing the Cavs to make a run at his dear friend Kidd with their midlevel exception.
