"&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/person/kobe-bryant/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kobe Bryant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; must be working some serious mojo on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;free agent &lt;strong&gt;Raja Bell&lt;/strong&gt; -- because the shooting guard popped up in Lakerland today sporting the purple and gold!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/07/14/0714-exkobe-tmz-wm.jpg\" alt=\"0714_exkobe_TMZ_WM\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raja hasn't &lt;em&gt;signed&lt;/em&gt; with the champs yet, but he comfortably posed for pics while wearing a &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/category/los-angeles-lakers/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lakers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; necklace at a pre-&lt;strong&gt;ESPY&lt;/strong&gt; event held today by Gifting Services -- and Kobe is reportedly courting him for next season. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raja famously clotheslined Kobe during the 2006 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/category/nba/\"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; Playoffs&lt;/strong&gt;. Looks like Kobe and the Lakers might have Raja by the neck now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE 7:35PM PDT:&lt;/strong&gt; ESPN is reporting that Raja's joining the Utah Jazz. Maybe the photo was a well-timed negotiating ploy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
