Has KB played his final game in a Hawks jersey?

This is the model Kobe should be following to be a useful NBA player long term:

Defensive oriented combo guard...not primary ball handler.

Trying to make him a lead guard is futile.

Before finding a role that best fits him, he's gotta stay relatively healthy. He's on thin ice with me just for being annoying injury prone.

He obviously has supporters in high places within the franchise. I think he surprises if he can avoid getting seriously hurt.

Speaking of NAW...he's an unrestricted FA.

Alexander-Walker will be an unrestricted free agent after this season and due for a healthy raise from the $4.3 million he earned this season. He’s exactly the kind of player whom Lakers fans want to see the team chase.

Kobe Bufkin is easy to figure out.

Can he shoot?

He sure as heck hasn't proved he can.

Kobe working under Dyson instead of Trae is the best possible scenario for the Bufkin.

Play Kobe NEXT to Trae...not behind Trae.

Atlanta remains committed to Bufkin’s long-term future. Sources told RG the team has turned down multiple trade inquiries for the 2023 first-round pick, including a proposal involving Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk. The Hawks opted to hold onto Bufkin, viewing him as a valuable two-way piece still developing into his full potential.

My guess is Monk's 3yrs/$21 mil per wasn't something the Hawks wanted on their books.

It's that simple for me, too. Especially on a team with Trae, NAW, and Dyson.
