Kobe won't retire....but will play a reduced role for less Money...he will still be a draw...and even at 36 there's no one that can stop him 1 on 1
Come on Deep.. what is this... amateur night at the Apollo? Kobe has gotten the most out of his body. The one thing that made him great he no longer has... which was explosiveness. He had a nice run... dominated his era, got filthy rich... and its time to say goodbye.
I don't know what is funnier, Kobe taking less money or that no one can stop him one on one. Kobe has railed against the idea players should take less money to build winners. He has taken his stand and if he goes back on that....wow.
I agree - but we are talking about Kobe. The most ego-tistical greedy player we have seen since Jordan. He loves money, thinks he's still worth it (basketball wise) and if he has a good season, I can see his compe ive juices flowing (and Kobe fans demanding).
LakerLanny sighting, we're really back
He's already said he won't let no one right his obit.....he's not going to retire...I'm planning for it he wants 6 and he will get it
It won't even get close. He's going to realize its over before training camp. Kobe could barely practice these last few seasons... now he's coming off of back2back season ending injuries. Its over. I'm looking to the future.
Lakers aren't going to be a bottom 3 team next year and even if they are, they're not guaranteed a Top 3 pick (See Knicks). It's time to develop the rookies and let the chips fall where they may.
Initially I thought Clarkson will be traded but with a Top 2 pick, I'm confident they're going for a big man in this draft which fits the Lakers mantra anyway, unless Russell completely impresses the Lakers during workouts.
The beauty of this draft is it gives the Lakers a clean slate, I agree they have no cornerstone as those players are historically hard to come by but having 3 prospects in cheap contracts gives the franchise direction and appealing pieces should the opportunity like an established player becomes available in the block.
Handling the cap is still the biggest question mark. If they skip Rondo and fight the urge to extend their ties with Kobe, we're on the right track again.
Congratulations. I know the feeling of getting a Top pick after a miserable season. I personally think Russell has the highest ceiling and will be an automatic All-Star (high scoring guard, flashy plays etc) but you can't go wrong picking a big man.
I wouldn't bet on Jerry's kids getting this right either.
Man y'all salty.
You'll be offering that 2 for the Spurs 26th in two years.
Says a "we're back" poster with a Spurs logo under his name.
Bull , Kobe won't let anyone succeed while he's on the roster. He's not walking away and leaving money on the table, nuh uh... you're stuck with him for 4 more years.
laker gots leaving that rock they beed hiding under for 3 seasons...
This. I appreciate what Kobez has done for us but its time to move on from him. He's done man
Sup Crisco, how's them arteries
Yessir. Vino is out.
Dude, just go back on LG, maybe some user named Beppa Joseph or his or her mother will ride you hard as you are used to.
lol wut... big men taken in the top 5 in recent years:
2014 - Joel Embiid
2013 - Cody Zeller, Alex Len
2012 - Anthony Davis, Thomas Robinson
2011 - Enes Cancer, Tristan Thompson, Jonas Valenciunas
only davis has shown top 5 value... jonas and tristan are nice players, but if you're expecting a franchise changing guy, yeah, you can go wrong
