The Goods Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Now that Odom has been re-signed, Kupchak said he and his staff will now ``turn to the future, beyond this season.'' He wouldn't specify whether that meant he'd open talks with Kobe Bryant's agent Rob Pelinka on a contract extension, but all indications are that discussions about that very issue will begin immediately. Earlier this summer, Bryant said he was content to let the organization take care of unrestricted free agents Trevor Ariza, Shannon Brown and Odom before beginning extension talks with him. ``Mitch has a lot on his plate,'' Bryant said during an interview in early July. ``I'd rather him take care of those pieces first. But he'll get around to me.'' http://www.insidesocal.com/lakers/2009/07/bryant-extension-next.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daken Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 This is going to be tough, because Lebron and Wade's contract are up soon, so who knows if Kobe wants to wait and see what they're getting? I don't know if he'll still make the same 20 mil a year because of the economy. And granted hes the best player in the NBA but he is getting older. Although this is about the time where MJ got his second 3peat. So time will tell. Im sure he'll be a Laker forever though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Kobe will sign the contract extension of 5 years 100 million BOOK IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 The fact that Kobe's going to play every game of his career in LA is going to put him among the greats, that loyalty is worth a lot (although he only had to get through a few rough seasons his whole career). I think the draft day Vlade for Kobe trade payed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artesticle Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 he's signing for the max regardless, now or in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekb Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) I think that's will be easier than Odom's. Because i think Kobe don't want to leave the lakers. Edited August 3, 2009 by lovekb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
