True, but it's a very interesting article. Shows that there are a lot of scouts and front office types who don't think highly of Kobe, regardless of the PC comments they give when the cameras are rolling. One exec said that Kobe might even ask for a raise after this season due to the ballooning salary cap.
The sad thing is I could see Kobe actually doing this. I feel so bad for the true Laker fans and all the misery he is causing their franchise.

Hahah if that happens Lakers might as well apply to the D league

Has there ever been a superstar who ended their career in a less graceful manner? Serious question

Bad boy JT, bad boy! Making Kobe threads again, I warned you yesterday boy. No food for you until tomorrow, NO FOOD.

Hope the rest of the lebron family learns the lesson. I will not tolerate non KING related threads anymore.

Shaq and Pau got them 5 rings

fixed. Without a dominant big Kobe has gotten the Lakers nothing other than 2 first round exits and a few lottery picks.

You truly are a retard.
The misery he's causing us?
This man is a purple & gold legend.
He brought our franchise FIVE championships over his career.

I could give a rats ass about what other NBA execs have to say, 80% of the teams they manage haven't won 2 championships in their existence. 95% of teams in the NBA haven't won 5 in their entire existence.

"I tried to be as direct as possible and show him in front of the other players how his selfish mistakes were hurting the team. During one film session, I said, 'Now I know why guys don't like playing with you. You've got to play together.' I also indicated to him that if he didn't want to share the ball with his teammates, I would gladly work out a trade for him."

Damn, NBA execs trying to trick the Lakers to trade them Kobe at a low price.
