Kobe is doing what's best for this franchise.

Like he always has.

shooting bricks is one thing.

stunting the growth of the laker rookies & young talent is what's actually happening though - this is a direct result of kobe chucking incessantly.

Top three pick is worth it

leaving the other players a lasting 'chuck at all cost' impression might not be.

good luck, lakers fans.

[Marchesk]

Kobe willing to fall on his sword for the organization.

[Collie]

Surely you can replace him with some D league talent and the Lakers save money no?

And the Lakers would make money how?

Got to fill up those seats

I'm not big on any player on the roster, not one.

[BasedTom]

if kobe didn't take 30 shots the shit roster would still lose and be in the running for simmons. it's just stunting the growth of the younger guys

but i personally like watching kobe throw up bricks. It's a lot more fun than the supposedly good cavs

[MMM]

Why can't kobe step up and play a mentor role while they develop their young players. I don't really buy that they can't develop and remain in serious contention for a top 3 pick. Passing on losing habits should never be encouraged

Considering those same guys still defer to him despite knowing what he'll do and how he's playing, I'm sure everyone involved has an idea whats going on here. In all honestly, Nick Young should be starting over Kobe with Clarkson and Russell, but alas. They're intentionally tanking.

Oh no taking shots away from Nick Young and Lou Williams .... what a long term disaster!?!?

whatever helps you justify the fact that your favourite player is having the worst season in the history of the league for a player playing significant minutes.

whatever helps you justify the fact that your favourite player is having the worst season in the history of the league for a player playing significant minutes.

And whatever helps you justify that it matters.

Trust me bro, it gets your little pecker harder than it hurts me.

I know Kobe has been shit, but in the long run he's doing us a favor by securing our pick. That's all I said, now go circle jerk with the rest of the metrics fa9 core.
