    thats why they offered him a ridiculous 48 million dollar contract without even trying to negotiate.

    again i don't blame kobe for taking it at all. thats god damn 48 million. but how the front office didnt want to negotiate is beyond me

    His ego? Which one? The one that made him work his behind off to come back from 2 devastating injuries? Or the one that makes him mentor the young players every day in practice? Or the one that makes him want to win more?

    Dammit. The stupidity and agenda...

    I'm sure the FO is sick of Kobe, I mean what has he done lately right? Meanwhile they have showed nothing but support for a guy they paid 27 million to, that has missed a majority of time and his best play as a Laker is setting a screen for the game winner against Houston.

    Sirron strikes again!

    "The Buss family"? Something tells me Jeanie has at least a positive view of him.

    BSPN... Often times the NBA's equivalent to Star Magazine

    the only thing the FO would be fed up about is the ridiculous contract they gave him

    aside from that, this article is pure BS

    The personnel they have at ESPN sucks. They have such a well known brand that it's a shame that they waste it by hiring these lame sports writers.

    Another that has read the article has said that they gave him that much to put the blame on him. That Laker fans are going to blame Kobe for us sucking because he took that deal.

    No way. No chance.

    FO had every chance to wait before signing him and would have had full fan & media support for doing it. For that reason I call BS on this one.

    I wasn't attributing the view to you at all, by the way. I've noticed that you're posting some incendiary topic titles :)
