Actually, I think this year of losing and having a shitty team was the best thing that could have ever happened to Kobe. Maybe the next time he has a brilliant coach and a future hall of fame center, he'll appreciate them instead of ostracizing them.
I dunno Noel. You give him way more credit than I think he deserves. I was a huge Kobe fan until last year. I think he is nothing but another TO type player, but without the ability to be a great team player.
I read somewhere that the Lakers Salary cap is stacked for at least another 2 years. THe only way they gonna change their lineup is by trading players.
