[Dr Seuss]

...for worst bench in the league?

serious question. without kobe, are they not as good as a handful of 2nd units

Price
Ellington
Johnson
Davis
Hill

4 of those guy didnt even get offers from other teams.

[GimmeThat]

Yes

Opposing teams wouldnt even have to worry about the clock

[Straight_Ballin]

They beat the best team in the NBA without Kobe. Pretty sure they aren't worried about what anyone thinks lol.

These games happen. I provided a list of some great examples in another related topic.

But over the course of 82 games, this group is probably not going to win 20 games...if that.

That team is .500 against two of the best teams in the league, obviously Kobe is holding them back from a playoff spot

Lakers could definitely compete if they use the 24mil they pay to Kobe on 2 other star-caliber players.
