I have a feeling they will actually be better. Wouldn't that be hilarious?

Their improvement will certainly be expedited after he retires and they can sign a marquee free agent.

    You can appreciate what Kobe has done while realizing 24 million to current Kobe is going to kill your team.

    The rest of the roster is unbelievably bad. I don't think any player in the NBA could get them an 8 seed in the West.

    What's funny is that the Lakers are still the only team talked about down here. At least Kobe is good for that. NOGAFA the Clips

    The NBA still exists in SoCal?

    I don't actually dislike Kobe…its all the Lakers fans who anoint the guy as the greatest ever and think he's better than MJ. Superstar, yes. But not the greatest ever, not even top 5. Maybe not even top 10.

    That's almost as bad as saying he's the greatest ever. He's probably #6 or 7.

    Early prediction: OKC loses Durant after next year and Westbrook goes to the Lakers the year after. If the Lakers are smart they won't be stupid and give Kevin Love a max deal this year in free agency. If they go after anyone it should be Marc Gasol with LaMarcus Aldridge as a back up.

    If you get neither, take your draft pick and ride out Kobe's last year. Obviously after the 2016 season, you have to take a shot at Durant. One way or another, the Lakers will be back in 2 or 3 years.

    Unless Buss junior is a moron the Lakers always find a way.
