...will koberunderbite start hating on Kobe? Losing is the new winning.

Old man Kobe is not enough to win this group many games, especially after Pau is gone.

Honestly I think the #1 pick goes to either the Sixers, Magic, Jazz or Lakers at this point. The team with the worst record (Bucks right now) rarely land the #1 pick - but it often goes to those teams 2nd, 3rd, or 4th worst. If those expected to go pro do such, this is going to be a pretty deep draft picks 1-20 at least.

Kobe hasnt been enough for like four years now...he was carried in 2010 as usual and took all the credit...as usual

It may take a long time for this franchise to figure it out honestly. I see a long and much deserved cold spell for the Lakers.

Don't get pissed at me for stating the truth, I'm a closet Lakers fan anyhow. I think it's going to be a decade before they compete for a title. Has nothing to do with Kobe, you could rebuild keep him on and win I am sure, it has everything to do with the new management.

Yes, they will win more than when he wasn't there
