i highly doubt kobe will be here post-2016.
anyways, I cant wait till June 25th. Its sad its going to be the brightest point for the Lakers within the past few years but I'll take it.
I read we have ~76 million for next offseason (2016) after kobe retires which is second only to the blazers (but they'll spend a lot of it on lillard and/or aldridge).
Regardless, with the addition of randle and towns/okafor along with the huge cap space we'll have, we have the potential to climb back into playoff position within the next several years.
