$120 million not enough for KirbyKobe Hopes Spurs Success Pushes Lakers Management To Make Necessary Expenses
Jun 08, 2013 12:36 PM EDT
Kobe Bryant talked about the possibility of Tim Duncan tying him with five NBA les.
"My goal is to win more than five," said Bryant. "If he does win five, hopefully that pushes our organization upstairs to be even more determined and more driven to make the necessary expenses to make sure we continue the next year and the year after that."
Bryant is confident the Lakers can compete for a le if Dwight Howard stays, but also indicated the team needs to add players with length and quickness.
"I'd love to see us pick up next season where we left off this season prior to these injuries," Bryant said. "We were playing some good basketball -- things were flowing. We'll have to make some adjustments in terms of getting a little longer, having a couple of guys on the floor who can cover ground, and cover ground quickly. If we do those things, I like our chances."

If they don't he'll start crying on national radio
I'm so grateful Peter holt and Pop never gave the keys of the organization to a sociopathic rapist. this going to be extra y when he realizes he can't play the same way, or at least not for awhile.
The Kobe era ended officially this season. Lakers wont be contenders again in his career.
" We were playing some good basketball "
When ?
Kobe Bryant, Not LeBron James, The Biggest Quitter in The NBA?
Do you want to know what "quitting" in the playoffs is? Quitting is Kobe Bryant in 2006. That year, the Lakers were up 3-1 against the Suns in the first round of the playoffs. Despite scoring 50 points in Game 6, they still lost which opened up criticism of Kobe of being a "ball-hog" and not trusting his teammates. Kobe responded in the series critical Game 7 by putting up a total of 16 shots, including only 3 shots in the 2nd half, and scoring one point. The result was a 31 point blow-out loss to the Suns in Game 7.
Yes, Kobe quit. That's a fact and everyone that watched that series except for the most in-denial Lakers fans remember this. So why isn't Kobe called out as a "quitter"?
That's because Kobe has since redeemed himself to the tune of a league MVP award and two back-to-back championships. But despite these accomplishments, Kobe was once a "quitter" in the playoffs.
The fact is, LeBron was a tremendous basketball player for the Cavs for seven years, taking them to their one and only Finals appearance in 2007, bringing them the best record two season in a row, as well as back-to-back league MVP awards. I'm sorry, but you can't achieve those accomplishments as a "quitter".
The reality is all this "quitter" stuff came out only after he signed with the Heat.

You have got to be ting me, he wants them to spend more money?
this is typical espn / Stephen A trying to kobe in the spotlight. I need more help . go buy me more players
I have noticed a kobe quote, story, blurb pretty much everyday since they been knocked in the first round. For all of stephen A's bravado, hes just another espn lapdog.
For context, if they resign Howard and don't amnesty anyone, they're looking at over $200 million in payroll + tax next year. And this fool wants them to spend more? How?
He just wants to see his name in the news...
Duncan ing with Kobe's mind
Let's face it - Bryant is an inefficient player, always has been. After blowing the Achilles, he's going to be even more inefficient. Which translates to...grossly ineffective. What he really needs is to be surrounded by four all-stars, because just three (like this year) obviously wasn't enough.
$30,000,000 contract with Dwight on his team and he es about not having teammates.
He wont even be top 15 next year. Irrelevant player
The Laker circus of the mid 00s is back and in full swing.
