I'm glad he isn't going ring chasing and sticks it out with his original team as he should be

I'm sure Kobe got a 2 year, $201 million dollar extension.

He wasn't joking about not taking a paycut

Between Gasol's possible extension and Nash's contract, we ain't got no cap space for 2014 anymore.

New plan is Durant 2016, I guess.

Mike Trudell ‏@LakersReporter
* @kobebryant can become the longest tenured player with one team in @NBA history (20 years with @lakers). John Stockton had 19 in Utah.

23.5 & 25 million.

He should take a paycut so Melo can sign in Lakerland.

WaffleRecord · Post #51 » by **WaffleRecord** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 4:59 pm

Is it safe to assume he's going all in for the scoring record?

Biased_Fan6425 · Post #52 » by **Biased_Fan6425** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 4:59 pm

Well this means Melo will be staying in New York.

We wanted a discount and we got it... :evil:

Would any other team have paid him 48 mil over 2 years ? Dude won't even take a discount.

Evaluate a Hall of Famer and one of the best to ever play? Okay lol.

Per source, Kobe's extension--$48 million over the next two seasons--will still leave the Lakers with max-player cap space this summer

wow, now what do they do in 2014? 23.5M+Nash's salary.

Room for 1 max guy? assuming they let Pau leave. ?

Horrible management by the Lakers rears it's ugly head once again.

Biased_Fan6425 · Post #59 » by **Biased_Fan6425** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 5:05 pm

At least we got a discount.

We laker fans must rejoice and thank Kobe for his generosity. :lol:

Not really. One of the greatest players in NBA history will now retire a Lakers. How can that be bad? It's not a 7 year contract. It's 2 years.
