Trade Kobe and they won't be in contention for at least half a decade. But given that Jim Buss is an absolute moron, he might just not resign Kobe. By then, Kobe either retires or finds a leading role somewhere else. I think in on of his interviews, he said he's never going to avg 15 pt or whatever. He'd just straight up retire.

I'm glad you all liked my Hakeem photoshop. We all know the Raptors have never had a great player like him. They've been stuck with raptor looking players like Bosh.
Somehow I would think Tim Duncan would rather punch Kobe in the face than play with him. Who knows. Would be like if Karl Malone were traded to the late 90s Rockets teams.
That is absurd ot trade oyur main cash cow. Kobe is 33 and at 25 million or whatever he is getting paid for his career and name, but at that age your knees naturally just go down with the miles that he has. But he still makes his contract worth isince he is one of the most popular athletes in the world and soley brings in more income on merchandise, viewship, attention than his contract easily
