They'll be alright as long as they realize that Kobe's best years are long gone.
They can't be afraid to transition to younger players because they don't want to hurt his ego...or worse "taint his legacy" (always a BS line when talking about great athletes).

Sell off what you can and see if you can put yourself in a good position in 2 or 3 years.
