BFD. The Lakers stood by him when everyone else had him fitted for a striped jumpsuit in Colorado. This guy is paid a yearly salary equivalent to the GNP of a third world country. Part of the Lakers problem is getting enough flexibility under the cap to attract better talent with his enormous salary already hanging over their head. That's a problem facing every GM in the league. Just because he runs his mouth he expects the team to jump. Since the Lakers aren't going to be a real contender any time soon and since Kobe has absolutely no leverage, they will tell him behind closed doors to go pound sand. And, in the end, he won't do a thing except pout while scoring his 35 a night.
