Kobe's farewell tour will stunt both Russel's and Randel's growth

[Combat Wombat]

They'll both get phased out next season in order for Kobe to jack up 23FGA per game (if he's healthy) on 34% shooting for his farewell tour.

Inb4 Kobe turns Randle and Russell into his spot-up shooting pawns #kobesystem

or Kobe could dial down the volume scoring and slide into more of a veteran facilitator / spot-up shooter / team leader / mentor role, for the sake of the team's future and the short-term goal of contending for a title or two. And take a big paycut on his final contract.

It's possible.

Thanks for a good laugh, I chuckled IRL
