I think this begins at 10:30 PT today.
Mitch and Mike will speak on Tuesday.
The Lakers will conduct exit interviews Monday and Tuesday. Kobe's not on the schedule that was released ...
MONDAY
10:30 – Chris Duhon
10:45 – Metta World Peace
11:00 – Steve Nash
11:15 – Earl Clark
11:30 – Devin Ebanks
11:45 – Andrew Goudelock
12:00 – Robert Sacre
1:45 – Jodie Meeks
4:00 – Jordan Hill
TUESDAY
11:00 – Pau Gasol
11:30 – Darius Morris
12:00 – Dwight Howard
1:15 – Steve Blake
4:00 – Antawn Jamison
Mitch Kupchak will speak to the media Tuesday afternoon.
Kobe could be added, of course, but he has done his last couple exit interviews with Kupchak near his Newport Beach, Calif. home without doing media afterward

Nearly 3 hours for blake. Amnesty or lunch? 15 mins for Nash with the rest of the scrubs, fitting.
Darius gets 30 minutes between our best players what?

This will be interesting.
I'm sure everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that the season is over.
I doubt Mitch will reveal his hand to the players as far as the team plans for next year.
But their perceptions after the interviews may give us an impression of what's about to happen.
Truth is though that the Lakers hands are tied until 2014.

And so it begins, a critical offseason for the Lakers - lots to figure out between now and next fall.

Metta World Peace noncommittal on whether he will exercise player option
Although he reiterated time and again he choice to remain a Laker, Metta World Peace stayed non-committal on whether he will exercise his $7.7 million player option to return next season.
“It’s really not important to me right now,” World Peace said. “What’s important is next year coming back and starting off the right way and building some consistency early. That’s the only thing on my mind right now. Not contracts or anything like that.”

He'd probably take less money to not get amnestied and stay with LA.

How much is he going to get?
The farthest I can think of is 3 yrs/9mil, his current salary is 7 mil for the season, so if he opts out, he's essentially getting 2yrs/2mil. Unless he has TV contracts like Rick Fox, that's lesser than the vet minimum and his agent won't let him do that.

I heart Goudelock.
Why are they asking Glock of all people, about the guy that just came out?

Andrew Goudelock said Lakers want him to work out in the summer. He doesn't have a place to live, though

You can't tell me Kobe don't have an extra room... It just isn't possible.
