His words mean so little now. All this talk of motivation and "oh they'll see" stuff means nothing anymore. It's over man. The Lakers won't be doing anything for the remainder of his career. They'll be lucky to get an 8th seed for the next three years.
His front office comments mean even less. He's open about how much he loves Pau, yet the Lakers try to trade him every chance they can get. If Kobe's feelings meant so much to them, they wouldn't treat Pau like crap. Yeah, he's making predictions about Pau but doesn't even have enough influence for the Lakers to keep Steve Blake? Then he goes and pouts about the Blake trade on twitter.
It's getting sad, Kobe.
He needs to do something while sidelined
and from here on, more and more of his seasons will start looking like this one. I think he should hang it up, amazing career - prolific scorer, but his winning days are over...unless they can sign some major players in the offseason.
Maybe he needs the money to support the divorce/his kids? I mean the Lakers gave him quiet a generous offer...
