I can easily see Kobe playing till he's 40 and in a year or two if the Lakers aren't contenders I could see them trading him or him requesting a trade again. I highly doubt that would happen but let's say they don't make the playoffs this season (which I still think they have decent chance to do if Kobe plays before February) and strike out on any major free agents next year which to is unlikely. I could see scenario like that with the Lakers and Kobe parting ways. But in reality I think he will retire in purple and gold.

thats a meaningless accolade Kobe was by far one of the biggest liability on defense all season he also had one of the worse usage and turnover rates of any starting sg

Wade was better in every advance rating category he also didn't suffer a near career ending injury at 35

if Kobe were to come to the heat in 2014 his role would be off the bench as a shooter

like i said if he wants to start the bulls might be a better option

27/5/6

21/5/5


I think that meaningless accolade was 100% correct


d wade played d twice this year game 4 and 5 in the finals that its


dude is done, he is always injured, 2 years from now he might not be able to play anymore

You really trying to tell me in 2014 in some fantasy world if Kobe went to the Heat and his game was still on the level it was before he got hurt that he wouldn't start over Mario Chalmers alongside Wade. With Bron Wade and Kobe they would be more than fine with getting the ball up the court. Not like Chalmers is Chris Paul out there.

Achilles isn't near career ending.

Having a high usage percentage isn't bad thing especially when you're an SG and the offense runs primarily through you. His TO rate was also a function of being the team's primary playmaker. You probably don't remember the Heat before LeBron, but Wade's TO rates were always sky high pre-2011.

You're using those stats incorrectly.

If Kobe was on the Heat, he'd be starting. Period.

He can still play defense, especially if Bron is going to carry most of the offensive load like he does for Wade.

Wade was one of the highest rated sg defensively all season while Kobe was one of the worst

Wade had MUCH higher fg % and a higher PER and higher Win Share pct

so its his teammates fault now :dwillhuh:

i watched Wade his whole career here unlike you i rep all my home town teams while urs are spread all over the globe like all the so called laker "fans" on here

and Wade has had a higher PER EVERY SEASON not just once or twice but ever single season

he would not start on the heat cuz Spo values defense before offense and Kobe is a huge liability right now

Did I say it was his teammates' fault?


You don't even know how PER is calculated. :beli:

Kobe was one of the worst rated defensive SGs? Prove it.

Kobe had higher points, rebounds, and assists. Put Wade as first option and see what happens. He'd breakdown halfway through the season.
