Hey Tina! Yeah, I’m sure he would make sure that option was left open to him… I mean, he is Kobe Bryant. The 50 million is for 1 year (1 year!!!) and so he could possibly be in a 1- or 2-yr contract… You never know.

Sorry…this question may sound ignorant, but if he takes the offer of the $50M to play in Italy, does he have the option to ever come back and play in the states?

Sheila: You pose such great thoughts… I don’t think there’s a point (especially w/these guys) when you don’t need the $. I mean, help children in Africa or something meaningful to you. That’s what I’d do. And, on a serious note, most of these guys are business men, so they’re doing a lot w/their funds. Thanks for visiting!!

Joy: Indeed it is a lot of $… More than what I can imagine, although I’d gladly accept it. Good to see you…

Wow. That’s a lot of money. I might actually do the same for that much. Plus it’s Italy! lol

We’ve heard the same type rumors about LeBron in Cleveland. My feelings are mixed. I’m not entirely sure that I, personally, would know what to spend all that dough on. At what point DON’T they ‘need’ more money. I mean come on, Italy? It’s probably nothing like it is here (fans, fame) is it? You’re the expert.

On the other hand, I would suppose that if you could just keep making oodles of money…why wouldn’t you?

I don’t know, that’s a hard question.

DC–You’ve got it!I didn’t even want to get into the Lakers’ future in the post, but it’s true. And, uh, 50 million… please!

For 50 million I’d already be packing too. I can understand players who want to win the ‘big game’ but he already has a few championship wins with the Lakers so, why not?
Either way, I think the Lakers need to start focusing on their young players and establish their future team. Let’s face it, Bryant isn’t getting any younger and the Lakers need to have a plan in motion for the next generation of players.
