[Ca$H]

This fool accepts a cancerous contract and proceeds to bitch!

Jim Buss is ruining the Lakers franchise. He is such an idiot that he gave Kobe that huge amount of the money. Kobe can't criticize him though. You can't have it two ways. If Jim Buss was really smart, enough to championship caliber team in short time, he would not have give you Kone all that money.

But but but the Lakers can't sell tickets without Kobe.

But but but but nobody will watch the Lakers on TV without Kobe.


This is what ALL the stans said who insisted Kobe was worth every penny of that contract.

When I had read that the Lakers might not go all out this summer to build a championship team for next season I knew this wouldn't go over well with Kobe.

No way does he play for the Lakers if they're not contenders next season. He wants to win another championship or 2. They better figure out something or I could see him demanding a trade.

All those Laker/Kobe fans saying how loyal he is to the Lakers don't know what they're talking about. If the Lakers look like they're going to stink next season I could see Kobe asking to be traded to a contender. Maybe he'll follow Phil Jackson over to the Knicks?

Or how about the Bulls?

Holy fck, he is so full of chit... Rapes Lakers for massive contract then slates management for not making moves.

[NumberSix]

Kobe is an idiot.

[KirbyPls]

Kobe is an idiot.

...and a known liar.

[Upgrayedd]

What did you think was going to happen? Kobe only re-signed thinking that they'd go all out this summer and rebuild right away. No way does he want to waste anymore seasons playing on a struggling team. If he can come back and be nearly as he was even last season before the injury he'll want to play on a contender.

[tmacattack33]

Yes, this is what happens when Kobe is finally on a bad team. See: 2007 Playoffs when Kobe demanded a trade

No, f*ggot. Try again.

[Akrazotile]

Well yeah if you are old and washed up you clearly dont.

Especially if you have all that endorsement money, you'll make royalties on your image for the rest of your life, you can make a fortune selling books and doing public speaking etc. Someone of Kobe's stature will be set financially for life without needing the money from this contract.

Other veterans who aren't nearly as profitable and wanna get one more big pay day instead of chase rings is completely understandable. And frankly, if Kobe just wants the money instead that's his business and that's understandable too. But this dude is embarrassing himself with his forced, contrived "I'm so competitive, listen to all my cliche warrior-speak, I accept nothing less than titles, I'm so demanding of my team!!!" It's so phony. The dude is a 10000% phony.

I've been saying this for YEARS and now finally the blind idiots out there who need things spelled out for them in big capital letters are finally seeing it too. Hilarious.

[oh the horror]

But what I'm unsure of, is what exactly does he think they can do here?


You have him eating a massive contract.

You have Nash eating 9 something.


There aren't really that many free agents that are game changers available at the moment and no trade assets.



I'm unsure what he thought was going to happen here?

According to ISH, if you don't take a minimum contract, you don't care about winning.

What is wrong with you? Defending a grown ass man who's making millions of dollars

Dude took a massive contract on the backside of his career. Whatever, get yours. Don't complain about management tho. It's beyond hilarious. Laker fan, hater etc. whatever pretty sure we can all agree on that.
