Kobe won't finish his career with the lakers. just sayin

[kennethgriffin]

Kobes assuming the lakers will magically rebuild this summer

he just keeps repeating "i trust management. the lakers always land on their feet"

well he's thinking in terms of past cba rules and the lakers being 50 million over the cap being able to swing trades

as theyre built. they have no real trade assets. theyre tanking.

so assuming the lakers dont get a great pickup in the offseason and the lakers start off slow next year ( also assuming kobes playing well and every game )

kobe will not want to lead a team into the lottery maxed out on the cap for the next few years

he'l ask to be traded and he'l be shipped before the trade deadline.

i believe itel be to either the brooklyn nets or new york knicks

102 million/ 88 million payroll

more than enough trade assets worth next to nothing in a title chase

theyel be desperate for anything at the time.

kobe will demand that melo still be a knick. and deron/lopez still be nets

so kobe will be traded for more than likely for joe johnson and a throw in/picks

or amare stoudemire + a throw in/picks



mark it down... copy and paste.. save to hard disk... this will happen if the lakers flop this summer

didnt read
yes he will

didnt read
yes he will

its obvious the lakers mindset is a slow rebuilding process..

theyre going into 2005 mentality. kobe wont stick around for that

you think them signing luol deng this summer and being maxed out on minimum contracts will help them make the playoffs?

inb4 Kobe going to the Heat for vet's minimum.

kobes not a pay cut ring chaser like lebron.. he'l want a challenge and to be paid accordingly


he said he wouldnt ring chase.. but him on the knicks or nets would be a valuable ring if he turned them around

and he can still make 25 mill with them being so far over the cap

[Mass Debator]

He should go back to Charlotte who drafted him.

Kobe
MJ
MKG
McRoberts

If they sign Deng, it will be for a year only. The thing is if Kobe really want to chase another ring, he could have taken less but it's easy to say that because it's not guaranteed while his contract is. Lakers already compensated Kobe so whatever they are planning to do Kobe should just let it be.

you think top level free agents are lining up for 1 year deals?


you think kobe will buy into a "wait another year. we might get kevin love" when 1 year to kobe is like half a lifetime ?

delusional

sad times for lakers stans

[Mass Debator]

lol they didnt draft him though... the pelicans did

Pelicans organization did but not the city.

Pelicans organization did but not the city.

cities dont draft players lol

is jerry west from the los angeles lakers or Minneapolis lakers

cause his jersey hanging up there is yellow

[Mass Debator]

cities dont draft players lol

I know, but he should still go to Charlotte "where" he was drafted.

[kennethgriffin]

I know, but he should still go to Charlotte "where" he was drafted.

why.. jerry west never went back to the city that drafted him

he went with the team to LA and never looked back

he owes nothing to the city that drafted him. he wanted the lakers to get better

loyalty is with the team. not the city
