Why is Kobe sitting out again?

[JT123]

Any Laker fans know what's going on? Just read an ESPN article and Scott was suggesting that he may shut Kobe down for the season after the All Star break. :wtf:

[nba_55]

giving up on his team just like last year and vs suns game 7, nothing new.

That's what it seems like to me, but maybe Laker fans know something I don't. :confusedshrug:

[Mr.Kite]

Why is Bran in Miami when his team is down 30?

[Fudge]

rent free family

[Mr.Kite]

[imnew09]

Same reason as Lebald

[nba_55]

Why is Bran in Miami when his team is down 30?

He is not in Miami, he was in the arena with Cavs.

[StusOneGoodEye]

Because his exit plan is solidified and requires no incentive.

[imdaman99]

Him and Melo are shitting on my fantasy team. Need them to shotjack and score, FG% is a non stat :oldlol:

[#number6ix#]

He might be scared of Lillard

[Eric Cartman]

After Pau's monster game he couldn't afford to have another crap game.

Why do you allow a grown man who is a millionaire to live rent free in your brain?

[lilteapot]

Holy **** people here can't discuss anything without an agenda. Whether it be about Kobe, Lebron, Jordan, FFS.

[Lebron23]

Lebron is living free inside your head.

[ImKobe]

DNP - old

[Lebron23]

DNP - old


DNP= no more reason to play back to back games cause he already surpassed Jordan in the NBA All time scoring lists.

[Lebron23]

I hope he plays against Lebron in January 16.

Before the game Scott was reported admitting he overused Kobe at the beginning of the season. If he shuts him down, I see it only because we have initiated overdrive tank mode. I'm ok with that.

Problem is we can't tank any worse than orlando, philly, knicks, new jersey, cleveland

[Droid101]

I don't think that player was mentioned in this thread until you mentioned him.

Why did you do that?

The answer to that question will determine who is living rent free in whose head.

I'd like to think we'll give it a shot. I'd be ok with the 4th worst record, we might jump into that top 3 pick with a little luck.

[themurph]

Silly question, no?

It's terrible. This place is a mess....

[Lebron23]

But seriously I think it's time to deactivate him for this season. Tank this year. Get a top 3 pick in the draft. And Hire a much better coach than Byron Scott.

Good to see an admitted branstan admit that Kobe Bryant is a net positive toward winning games on the Lakers this season. Refreshing.

you seem to spend a lot of time in a place you don't like, is this the source of your ongoing anger?

As much I as hate some of his stans. Kobe is still an NBA legend and an Icon.

You've been here a while, has it always been this way?

Dont' forget top 10 player

[oh the horror]

Shut him down for the season? Why?


Unless Kobe is suffering some undisclosed injury nagging him then how the hell do you explain that to the fans?


Yeah hi. We signed dude to a bloated contract for the next two seasons, please keep coming to our games but we may not have the one player you want to see out there playing because we want to tank?

[FLDFSU]

:applause: :applause:

It's a stealth tank. Every week a Buss shows up to say they don't tank nor do they condone tanking. We know better... Stealth tank.

:lol i barely even browse this forum anymore, but this dude JT123 is a certified weirdo.

[SexSymbol]

He's 36 YO 19 YO veteran who's after two major injuries. His body is not worth throwing away for such a season. He'll play 2 in 4 games and that's enough as this Lakers team isn't going anywhere

It's insulting to the fans. Like we don't see wtf they're doing?

So he's not worth his contract?
Cool:applause:

[AirFederer]

Lakers didn`t need Kobe to lose this one :cheers:

[Bandito]

How old are you? You seem to be a kid.

:oldlol: 39 year old Tim Duncan played more games than Kobe this season and last season. Big Fundamental with the superior longevity

[Dragic4Life]

POS is scared.

[Nash]

why is kobe sitting out when he has that massive contract? wasn't the point having him around to sell tickets?

[El Kabong]

If he's a 36 year old who's body isn't worth throwing away then they shouldn't be paying him $23 million to sit on his butt.

He is...he has like 5 ALT accounts, hes his main account JAMEERTHEFEAR got PERM banned, hes 17 year old lonley boy who stays home all day and night if not working at McDonald's...both his parents suck dick for coke, and don't give 2 shits about him....so thats why he's here posting this shit because his life sucks

They did it to prevent NY from signing him. A Melo/Kobe duo would easily draw a Marc Gasol or Kevin Love to take paycuts to play with them.

Mitch Kupchak always does moves to prevent teams from getting players they want like when he signed Artest who the Cavs wanted.

Imagine a Shaq/RonArtest/Lebron trio. They win the 2010 finals easily.
