The Lakers would probably have a better record now if Kobe didnt play

Last year they won 27 games and with Kobe this year they were on pace for 24. Even tho they have improved the team with the addition of Lin/Boozer and Davis improvement. He has been a net negative Offensively and defensively all year.

Sure looks that way. They're still pretty bad though.

Yea they still be bad, but they would of still improved.

Wouldn't Laker fans prefer a tanked season though? Kobe is helping the franchise at the expense of the current team.

Wow...a new perspective.

We need more refreshing topics like this one here.

i agree. Kobe is a team cancer at this point. At least before his achilles injury he was able to chuck more efficiently. At this point he is better off being a bench player. But his ego just would not let him accept it. Dude probably thinks he's still the best player in the league right now.

they want that pick, so everything's good in the end.
