That rashard Lewis is easily #1...and where the fukk is ben GORDON for Detroit
Knaw I can't consider a team that makes the finals with said player as a catalyst, an all time bad signing... How much would the magic trade to have another run like that... Them fukk boys single handedly fukked over the epic Bron Kobe showdown.. Meh

But keep this in mind

You could've done that

AND not had to pay somebody who didn't play 2 seasons of that 2 season extension
He deserved that money, he makes lakers bunch of money selling merch and other stuff. It was basically a loyalty contract

Kobe's deal only started last season:comeon:.

Paying Kobe didn't hurt the Lakers one bit. He's the reason they they got that Time Warner deal, and he's was the biggest incentive to get season ticket holders to reup and come to games. Considering the value he's brought to the franchise, dude was underpaid.

Im genuinely amazed that Kobe has differentiated his own separate fan base from the actual Lakers fan base :wow:
nikkas rather pay a completely washed up brittle version of the original what he deserves than become a title contender :wow:
gotta at least give Kobe that level of respect

That's the whole point breh. Lakers weren't gonna improve with or without Kobe. Lakers weren't landing any free agents in those summers either. So Kobe's contract didn't stop or stall the Lakers from being contenders.
