I think so.

Surely after seeing him in action, someone might unload a couple of players and draft picks our way. It's going to be tough to ask Bryant to shoulder the burden you see going on right now vs not competing for a championship.

This is basketball purgatory for Bryant, with no hope for help.

It's brought a lot of bad luck through the years of him wearing it. 2008 Finals, everything about the horrible 2013 season, Kobe and Nash injured again in 2014 and now Steve, Nick and Julius' injuries. Bring back the elbow band and put it back onto your left elbow, Kobe. That has brought us 5 NBA Championships.

Lakers looking more like 76ers.

Given they were undersized. Given the team is not at full strength. What would Jerry West do?

A. Trade Kobe for some picks and a player like Bledsoe or Rondo?

B. Hold on tight and not come to any more games?

C. Sign Lamar Odom?

D. Pray.
