    @Lakers: BREAKING: The #Lakers and @kobebryant agree to terms on a contract extension. #GoLakers http://t.co/1JiXnrTJ3h

    No word on terms yet but I hope it's over 20 mil a year. Handcuffs the Lakers for a long time.

    I thought he still had another 2-3 years on contract? I figured he'd retire after that, oh well, good for Lakers to waste as much cash as possible. You know they'll get Wiggins in draft...

    Yep Lakers continue to make Kobe the highest paid player in the league the next two years.

    @Chris_Broussard: Source: Kobe deal worth $48 million over 2 years. Still will be highest paid player in league next 2 yrs

    Wow, that makes zero sense unless they are pretty damn confident they can get Durant in 2016

    Damn, 24 million per?

    Him and Steve Nash take up over HALF of their cap space.

    They'll be at approx 37 million, with 21 million left over. And that's 21 million to spend on approx 11 roster spots.

    Even then it makes no sense. They'll basically be a 1 player team, made up so-so players that they had to sign to surround Kobe and Nash with.

    They should still have enough available for 1 max player according to my poor math skills

    The only "max" player that would worth signing is LeBron, and he'd be an idiot for leaving for LA.

    For all the people saying "why not just wait until the end of the season?"---K*be's ALWAYS going to sign an extension. He has too much stuff (full no-trade, 80% upfront, etc) in grandfathered clauses that wouldn't be able to be in a new contract.

    Jerry really fucked up when he bequeathed this team to his fuck-up, know-nothing son instead of his daughter.

    There should be a certain level of loyalty the lakers should have with Kobe. He's been a lifelong Laker and brought them 5 titles. If any of our players did that, I wouldn't mind keeping them until he retires.

    He was probably worried that Phil would sleep his way to the top.

    I'd be curious to see what kind of revenue his jersey sales continue to bring in for the Lakers?
