    Have you heard Rashard Lewis contract?


    Would the Lakers have trouble selling tickets without Kobe?

    Kobe got a five year deal if I remember yea? He also got two chips in those five years so I wouldn't call it the worst.

    Joe Johnson three more years of pain!

    no kobe is Not worst contract in league

    despite his 30 mil he still produced 26,5,4 and brings lots of revenue and was top ten merchandise seller

    so no not by a longshot

    Gilbert Arenas who isnt even on a team is still getting paid 20 mill+,
    rashard Lewis is still getting paid 20 mill+

    Andrew Bynum with no knees,another knee operation and hasnt played 60 games ever got a max contract,
    Erick Dampier got 10 mill plus
    Amare got max 20 mill plus only to be used as a 6th man,like how are ya gonna pay someone 20 mill,call him the franchise,then when another star comes over basically relegate him to 2nd,then replace him for JR fn Smith and make him basically the 6th man

    Asik got a max for basically 10,10
    Roy Hibbert got max and his stats have regressed since then
    12,9 and ya get max shooting under 45% for a c,ugh

    G Wallace 40 mill ugh

    Not sure how this is remotely close to debatable given Arena's contract

    No, Kobe makes up for his contract with jersey sales and the fact that the majority of Lakers fans go to games sorely to see him play. Its easily Amare Stoudemire, guy gets paid so that the team can pay for his 3+ surgeries a year while he chooses which tie goes best with the colors of the Knicks bench.

    Kobe is just a salesman like Jeremy Lin nowadays.

    its not about selling jerseys and arena tickets only guys, the most important off-court revenue from kobe is the value he adds when it comes to add zeroes to tv endorsements deals.
