The only way this makes sense is if Hill/Davis/Sacre is on the way out, otherwise why?

Everyone else is/was/will be talking about this at some point, so here are some numbers.

With Kobe: 8-19; Without Kobe: 1-2
With Kobe: 102.1 points scored, 109.2 allowed
Without Kobe: 102 points scored, 106.7 allowed

A quick statistical comparison of LA players not named Kobe Bryant with and without Kobe.
FGs
118-280 (42%) without Kobe
797-1744 (46%) with Kobe

3pt
28-71 (39%) without Kobe
139-377 (37%) with Kobe

FTs
42-58 (72%) without Kobe
360-494 (73%) with Kobe

AST/TO
66/36 without Kobe (.647 ast/(ast+to))
416/232 with Kobe (.642)

So the non-Kobe Lakers shoot worse from 2 and better from 3 without Kobe.
