you're such a got, get a ing life
I'd be shocked if he asks for a trade, tbh..
He's chasing Dad Killer's points mark, that's all that matters for him and the Lakers this year..
Not disagreeing. Will he accept being embarrassed on a nightly basis and let his career end that way?
He's not demanding a trade. And nobody in their right mind would take on that horrendous contract. I honestly don't know what he'll do next summer though. I don't think he can take another two years like this one.
I don't think he cares, tbh..
- Getting paid 25 per year
- Literally won't receive any blame for this season, and rightfully so, as the Lakers' roster is one of the worst in recent history
- Gets to shoot as much as he wants, as they don't have a system, and Kobe is the only player on the team that can create his own shot
- Doesn't have to play any defense, because they aren't expected to compete
- Will surpass Dad Killer's points mark
Kobe has it pretty good this season, tbh..
He's more likely to ask for a trade during the off-season IMO..
He has no room tbh. He can't demand a trade and no one is dumb enough to trade for him, at least this season. I read Kobe to the Knicks scenario but I'd like to believe Phil is anything but an idiot.
Can Kobe recon structure his contract to be more team friendly?
never underestimate dolan
but trade him for what? a warehouse of Detroit stocks?
I have to challenge you on this point. Kobe's supporting cast actually competed with two very good Western Conference teams on back-to-back nights. The ball was moving, the players were moving, and there was actual chemistry. Ed Davis and Jordan Hill are also proving to be effective bigs. James took such a scrubby roster to the NBA Finals.
Then Kobe checks in and it blows the up.
I do agree with you that this is one of the worst rosters in NBA history when Kobe is added to the mix, since he's a notorious chemistry killer.
And if these Lakers wind up being one of the worst teams in NBA history, Kobe's legacy is deep fried.
I was messing around with that contract in the ESPN NBA trade machine and there isn't single deal that works without the other team getting fleeced. So even if he demands a trade, he's really untradeable. He's unfortunately stuck there unless the Knicks or Mavs make a move for him at a price, but it would be up to him. That contract isn't cap friendly at all, so he better get used to losing in LA this season.
Follow up actually Kobe for Amare works perfectly but what is the point of that trade for the Lakers? Kobe would have to demand it from the Lakers FO. The Mavs don't have anything to trade for him unless they give up both Chandler and Ellis.
So the Knicks are the only team that can realistically trade for Kobe straight up with Amare. He's staying in LA.
Why would the Mavs want Kobe, though?..
He doesn't fit in Carlisle's system, at all..
I wouldn't do Ellis for Kobe straight up.
seems like every other former laker who has played with this ebola patient have gone onto better things like revitalizing their careers
the same cant be said about this clown
Kobe or Parker, tbh?..
They were in talks for potential destinations if Kobe demands a trade. I agree. The team he fits in most would be the Bulls but a trade is not at all conceivable without gutting the core, at this point he ain't worth that. So he's pretty much untradeable unless Knicks swap Amare for him straight up and he and Lakers FO agree. I don't know how a Melo/Kobe duo would work, they both want shots and to be da man. So it seems he really is stuck with the Lakers till that contract runs out.
hole on a minute
pau left that hole to get away from the ebola patient, since the bulls dont want to pay jimmy and give taj a starting role, no way u trade 2 guys for a kent when u already have another kent playin 1 game a month in gangbanger rose
