I think Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players of all-time, but the Lakers should have let him go when they had the chance.
No one seems overly enthused about playing with the Lakers until he is no longer with the team and the Lakers seem to realize this. According to the NY Post it is one of the reasons why they won’t pursue Melo in free agency and the other reason is straight out of The Young and The Restless.
The Lakers have cap space but sources maintain they aren’t too interested in Anthony as a fit with Kobe Bryant. Nor is Lakers president Jeanie Buss enthralled with stealing Anthony from Jackson, her fiancé.
The Lakers are going to have to hope they strike gold with their lottery pick, Kobe stays healthy and maybe they get Kevin Love. If not, they will be right back in the lottery again next year.
