Cuban is just stirring the pot and he knows it. I ain't a Kobe fan, but regardless of his already sealed legacy, he's still playing good ball, and he ain't the type of player you get rid of. He leaves when he's ready to go. You don't wanna piss of the people of LA, who hold him to high regard.

It's gonna happen. Dwight doesn't like Kobe. Dwight is L.A.'s top priority. Anything short of a miracle championship run and Bean is gone. They may have a sitdown with him and ask him to waive his no trade clause and try and deal him, but basically this is Beans last year as a Laker.

Okay, they don't appease Howard, Howard walks. Kobe retires then what? They hope Wade, Bosh & LeBron come to L.A.?

Who said howard even hates kobe? They may not be friends but they have a work relationship and who said he even wants kobe gone? Kobe is going to probably retire after next season and then the team is his. Stop acting like you speak for dwight.

Well if you want to build around Dwigjt yes. Kobe is getting old and that era is closing very soon.

Do you stick with Kobe for a year or two more and blow up or do you build around Dwight now?

worst fukkin owner in the NBA...cares more about his tv reality show than his NBA franchise.

Far from the worst owner.

10 seasons of 50 plus wins since 2000.

Team Net Worth of 2.5 billion.

you meant Mark Cuban's net worth.


and Cuban is clearly trolling. Kobe is actually underpaid

My bad. It was the kush. Yeah Cuabn's trolling. If Kobe was making this salary on any other squad except the knicks, I would say the salary was fair.

But since its L.A., I concur, he is underpaid in a sense.

It would be a good move for them. Kobe is over paid by half right now.

A good move? :laff:

So how is that a good move? Cutting ties with the your current face of the franchise and the person people pay a lot of money to see is a good move? People pay those crazy ticket prices at home and on the road to see Kobe not to see guys like Howard, Nash, and Pau. Those guys don't sell out arenas every where they go.

Cut your best player on the team, still pay him all his money, get nothing in return, and give him the opportunity to sign with a competitor while getting nothing in return is a smart move?

:stopitslime:

Kobe's salary is around 30 million, but he makes the Lakers way more money than he is paid.
