is the Kobe contract the worst NBA signing of all-time?

[Black and White]

Weird how this always happen when bad contracts are given out.

There might a connection.

We still don't know what Kobe is yet, we can't make that assumption until he has played at least more than 15-20 games or so.

How?

Literally all I'm seeing in this thread is ad hominem. Fend off the notorious troll that is Tony with some logic instead of dismissing him. He's not talking out of his ass. He's trying to bring up an argument and is defending it. The least you can do is the same. Prove how he's a moron.

Look at the post I bolded from him, that proves he is a moron

I actually think the Rashard Lewis signing was a good move by Orlando. Even in hindsight. He was a perfect fit next to Howard in that frontcourt. Sure they paid him more than he was worth, but you have to do that to get marquee free agents. Not a coincidence Orlando declined heavily when they traded him.

Joe Johnson was a bad signing, but I can argue that Kobe is one of if not the worst player in the league. And he is the highest paid! Not to mention they gave him the extension while he was recovering from a possible career ending injury and they had yet to see him play a game. 6 games later and hes out again.

For sure. It is too soon to reach the conclusion, but if Kobe sucks, you can't use "nobody thought about it" excuse.

It's better than Roses contract.

Isn't Arenas the 2nd or 3rd highest paid player this season?

Yes

It's not really an excuse, I will hold him accountable if he does not get back to 3/4 of what he was before the injury. But until then, to suggest he is the worst contract signing in history isn't right.

This right here discredits your whole post

Have you seen the Lakers? Jodie Meeks and Nick Young look much better out there when Kobe does. The only thing Kobe brings to the table anymore is his "legendary aura" of being Kobe. As far as winning games goes he does more harm than good.

I challenge you to find a player this year who has less win shares than Kobe. And this is with Kobe only playing 6 games. His winshares per 48 is historically bad.

No he isn't.

He posts the same trolly shit every single time. He never brings a logical argument to the table. All he tries to do is rile people up. That's the very definition of a troll. And people need to stop responding to idiotic troll posts; it's the only way they'll ever stop.

says the guy that posts in literally EVERY thread I make bitching, but never once brings any sort of argument to the table.

Mad

Tony is an idiot, but at least prove it first.

Tony prove how Kobe is the worst in the league

Because an extremely small sample size of win shares say so dammit!

He's right, purely production wise he was legitimately awful and he's gonna get paid more than anyone to be awful.

Edit: definitely not the worst, but a very bad contract for sure.

And you're basing this off of the first 17 years in the league or his last 4 games?
