Los Angeles Times: "By the end of the summer, owner Jerry Buss could spend close to $175 million in upkeep and improvements for the Lakers, most of that in extensions for franchise cornerstones Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant." This is why we are the champs, the Laker franchise won't leave it's players hanging and wondering about their futures, unlike the other LA team. Money ain't a thing!
Woohoo! This is good news! We gotta keep Kobe in town! I'm not sure if Shaq will sign an extension though, he'll probably retire when his contract ends.
