You're right he wasn't on the team when the deal was signed
Amnestying Nash would have saved them this extra year if he doesn't "medically retire" No way kobe would have made it passed the bidding process to wind up on the Clippers

See my 3rd response. And yes, I'm aware that Kobe wouldn't make his way across the hall, but the premise remains: Kobe will NEVER be amnestied. This is the same org that (rightfully) chose him over Shaq.
The Lakers would not have to if he is cleared to retire on medical reasons.
It's not some kind of slight it's "Hey Kobe you want to take the year off and rehab your injury while we pay you 38 million dollars"
Kobe has to prove he's worth another NBA contract. To do that, he has to play. I'm expecting the Lakers to slowly work him in to eventually playing 40-50 games. Lakers sell their tickets. Kobe passes MJ. Win-win for both.
I know but that didn't stop Daddy slinging cheap shots at Kobe during the season. It was understandable though, the transcript was out and Kobe ratted Shaq out and in the meantime, Shaq was having an MVP season.
Not all is lost tbh. Odom is working out and would like to rejoin the Lake Show..

Agreed. Not sold on Wiggins ...
Weaker conference, still. Pistons were a great team.
Urgent Memo to World: I Don't Care
Make sure that gets out there. It's very important.
When was the last time the Lakers' bench scored 60 and they lost?![]()
The Lakers bench can't score 60 if Master Chucker has a good achilles.
That why Kobe is presumably debuting this coming Friday? So they can tank?![]()
No.

Tanking is for es. The idea of professional athletes playing half-assed (or even intentionally losing) is ing mind-blowing.
I mean, it's one thing for management to say "Hey guys, it would really help us in the long run if we raise the probability of getting that #1 pick."
But it's entirely another thing for the players to go out on the court and intentionally play anything less than their best.
You classholes tanked (with a top 50 player still on your roster) for Duncan when he should have been a Celtic (not that I'm complaining). So, STFU and GTFO my thread son.![]()
Do you really want Jabari over Wiggins?
I dont see Lakers getting either tbh
Yeah, Kobe coming back does ruin my tank scheme.
Yes. Although it's merely a dream, I would rather Jabari. I think he is a complete player and can do more than Wiggins can tbh.
