Bryant is expected to sign a three-year extension worth an estimated $85 million on top of his existing two-year contract later this month, according to the Los Angeles Times. Bryant's agent, Rob Pelinka, did not return a voice message seeking confirmation.

it would obviously be a bad move because by that time, kobe will probably have declined a little bit.

I hate Kobe as much as the next Spurs fan, but come on.

i think it's too much for any player. How are you supposed to build a team around a near 30m/year player.
I'm not blaming kobe though, if you get offered 30 mil for a season, nobody is turning that down.

Well, sonic, just keep your fingers, toes and eyes crossed and maybe you'll get your wish. Also, keep vanquishing the Suns. You won't intrude.

It may seem like a lot but we're not talking an average player here...we're talking Kobe Bryant, a for certain HOF. True you can't stop Father Time but this guy keeps himself in good shape and is committed so if the Lakers manage to win one or more championships during his reign, it may be worth it in the end.

That comes out to about 28 million a year. Paying anyone that much money in their 30s is stupid.


The 1997 and 1998 Chicago Bulls disagree.
