There is just no talent there besides Kobe.
And I'm a huge Laker fan, but this team needs to take its lumps for a couple of seasons and start anew. The problem that they are facing is that they are going to have no choice but to rebuild through free agency. They've traded or sold every 1st round pick they've had since 2007, and they don't have a first round pick next year, or the year after.
Keep feeding the machine of fans and media expectations to be in the hunt for a title every year, and eventually, you have nothing left in the cupboard to feed it. This is what they are dealing with. They need to suck for the next couple of years and start over again.

best typo ever
I'm not the one saying he's a joke now. He's too talented and determined to be a joke even with one leg and no arms. He won't be the the superstar that can carry a team though, he will be top30 player still imo.
I was just saying that Kobe will never ever accept a bench role, no matter how bad he will play. It's just not in his character. He will sooner retire then be just a bench player or even role player.

#1) They are both 30, and will be looking for max contracts
#2) They still have one Kobe Bryant on the team, and I find it near impossible that they will all be able to play together. Three alpha males on the same team? It worked with Shaq and Kobe because they were both much younger, and played two different styles of ball. Imagine these three on the same team
. Lebron will want to end up killing the both of them, and I can't say that I would blame him.
#3) They would literally have nothing else on the roster. As I had stated earlier, they have sold/traded away every 1st round pick they have had since 2007, and in order to try and get Melo on board, they would need to trade that #7 pick as a sweeetner to a Steve Nash trade. Therefore, they have no youth on the squad, no young legs. Hell, they only have Kobe, Nash, and Robert Sacre under contract.

Rockets trade Asik and 1.5M$ to the Pelicans for a 1st round pick in 2015. James? Anthony?
