Really should retire now BUT he can stay as they are awful, they can tank, kobe can take 30 shots a game, become the worst team in the NBA then get the 1st pick and draft Simmons
Yeah it's quite sad to see him shoot the way he's is atm I kind of feel sorry for him in a way, I wouldn't want anyone leave the game the way he is, but he said he's happy to give it his all and will continue too until the end, good for him.4/20 today - looks like he's going to go out like a shooting star. Or falling star, however you look at it
Russell / Clarkson / Simmons / Randle / ???
Would be a nice young core!
Also, we don't want to finish with the worst pick. History says that the lottery has never been won from the same position in consecutive years. So with the Wolves winning it with the worst record last year, it means being second worst has the best chance of getting the #1 pick through the lottery
Injuries were only a minor part of his demise, it was the lakers that killed Kobe the 3-4 years.It's sad and very undignified way to get out of the game. But there is no way Kobe would be playing a reserve role ala Paul Pierce or Shaq. Such a pity that the past two seasons were a write off due to injuries, and one would never know how things could have been if he never got undercut on that jumpshot.
How do you mean the Lakers killed Kobe?Injuries were only a minor part of his demise, it was the lakers that killed Kobe the 3-4 years.
Y
You're serious with that statistic are you??
Neglected!!!How do you mean the Lakers killed Kobe?
Neglected!!!
Seemed lakers management never tried to revive the team in getting decent players in.
So he was left to carry the team on his own for 3+ years and it's taken its toll mentally and physically.
Not quite true, they managed to get Dwight and Nash but injuries really didn't allow that experiment a real chance to succeed. And as pointed out, Kobe has a big chunk of salary cap with his wages and when your most expensive player is sitting out whole seasons, it's not the best recipe for success.Neglected!!!

Most players i thought didnt want to go to the Lakers as Kobe was there?
Ok fair enough but Nash was what? 38-39 what can you expect from him?(injuries)Not quite true, they managed to get Dwight and Nash but injuries really didn't allow that experiment a real chance to succeed.

And D Howard is a bit of a pansy even though I support the Rockets he has 1 great game in 10-15 games.
To the credit of the Lakers, they tried to get personnel who were ready to make a championship run at that time and Nash was a highly sought after commodity at the time. Just before he left Phoenix, he was playing 32 mins per and averaging a double double still. No one could have expected his leg and then his back to write off his final couple of seasons. Dwight before the Dwightmare was also injury free from his back and was a 20ppg 13 rpg the season before joining the lakers so he was certainly in his prime.Ok fair enough but Nash was what? 38-39 what can you expect from him?(injuries)
