When word was announced the Lakers signed Kobe Bryant to a two-year-$48-million-extension, people immediately began stating that the Lakers had ruined any possible shot at a title over the next two seasons. They also labeled Kobe as selfish, more concerned with money than winning. Kobe responded to those critics.
Whose turning down $48 million?
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak weighed in on the topic stating, “maybe we got a deal, maybe not.”
Time is the only thing that will answer that question. But it certainly seems as if Melo to the Lakers next summer isn’t realistic.
