and re-sign with the Lakers for less money so we can re-sign Odom. It's his chance to prove he's a team player and wants to win more championships.

So he can help Buss save money for all the money that Kobe has helped generated for him all these years? You wish. :lol:

MAX!!!! No Doubt about it!

I guess it will depend on on how well they due in the playoffs and if he doesnt want to be the "guy" in some other town. The Lakers can be a threat the next 3 to 5 years if they keep everyone together and maybe improve the PG position. I'm sure they will. But if Fish can get the job done at a cheap cost then they will keep him around.

He could opt out and go play with The King in Cleveland! That would be scary!

If Odom isn't going to take the MLE then he could just bounce.

Kobe Bryant 19-21m
Pau Gasol 13-15m
Lamar Odom 7-9m
Andrew Bynum 7-9m

Radman is a keeper, but doesn't deserve the amount hes making
Luke Walton so far isn't making his paycheck
Fisher is fine, Farmar should get a significant increase as well as Ronny.

Point is Kobe Bryant deserves a 5 year Max extension with whatever team hes in. Which I hope is the Lakers.

lol @ 5 years 100 mil when he is about to make 47 mil over the next two years. He'll be the highest paid NBA player by next season with $ 23 mil and his contract year earns him $24 mil. All well deserved for someone ready to scarifice everything to get this team more wins.

Yes, Kobe will ! No doubt ! I've heard he's not pleased with this team and is simulating the injury...:) :) :) and is going to demand a trade after we make some noise in the playoffs...or will opt out and sign for the Bobcats or Memphis...
