Kobe is done sadly. hes clearly not a forward, shoots way too many 3s, is a liability defensively and is nowhere near the player he was. hope he plays this season out and retires or goes to Europe/China if he still insists on playing.
as for the Lakers, i dont know how good the draft class is this year but they should spend another year at the bottom of the league and try to draft one more (or two) young talented player(s). at this point, i think we have no chance on Durant or any other top free agent (was hoping we could get Durant this year and either trade for Westbrook or get him a year later, but that wont happen sadly), so getting a new coach (sorry Byron) and try to get back to the top with this group of young players.
it will take a while, but i dont think we have any other choice

Maybe get lucky and get the 1st pick in the draft and get Ben Simmons
