The Lakers gave him a golden parachute. IMO they wanted to tie up money so that they couldnt bring in mid-level, competent players and get an 8 seed and 1st rd exit the next few years. In essence Kobe's deal (and Nash's who doesnt play because he is broke down and Gasol's who looks like toast) keeps them from getting to be a little too good. After this deal is over they will have virtually no long term, high dollar deals and most likely a few decent young players that they drafted to build around whatever big name FA they can pry away from a smaller market team
