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.



What are you talking about? Your Lakers brethren want LeGawd James on your team next year.
