I don't think Kobe is going to allow LA to be in rebuild mode. A, he'll be too proud for that, and B, I'm sure Kobe was promised that this won't be a rebuilding era. How am I being sarcastic? Oh right, your CF name is JazzLakerHater. Sorry, shouldn't have even responded to you. And of course, this is IF Gasol re-signs with LAL.

During his post workout interview, Randle recalled the first time he “met” Kobe Bryant. “The first time I went to a Lakers game I was probably in like sixth or eighth or seventh grade and I had courtside seats,” Randle said, according to Dave McMenamin from ESPN Los Angeles. “Kobe (Bryant) was warming up and I’m on the sideline and I’m going, ‘Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!’ And he wouldn’t turn around. I guess he probably got annoyed with me. I go ‘Kobe!’ and he (slapped my hand). Then he just turned back around and started shooting. I mean, that was enough for me. I said I wasn’t washing my hand for a year.”
