I said Wade was out of his prime. He has no great years left and few good years left. Four is a stretch.
Lebron left his hometown, won't be as difficult to leave Miami.
Kobe's time is not over, believe dat.

His home STATE. Lebrons fron Akron. Was it so bad he left a team that had no chance of winning without a significant change to the roster. The big three in Boston was formed the year after the cavs went to the finals. They had no chance in returning to the finals after that. I dont see how anyone can blame him for leaving unless your an Ohio native. And wade avg 21-5-5 this season. But i guess that's just due to his loss of steps. Just horrific.

I can't wait until Kobe comes back, passes MJ in career points, and wins another ring. You may hate him, but you know its going to happen. This is far from the end of his career.

nicker:

Kobe may not ever be a Laker again.
Its funny that even the most mild Kobe fans are extremist when it comes to that ball hog.

Watch the Lakers in the postseason. There already playing much better without him and will continue to do so.

Wade has no great years left at age 30 but Kobe is going to make another title run at age 35 alongside 40 year old steve nash. That's logical.

Wade wouldn't even be in the playoffs if it wasn't for Lebron!

For what his acting ability? I've never seen someone with his athletic ability weight and size complain about fouls.... He should be the one that people complain about.

Lebron went to WADE. Wade didn't go to Lebron.

Lebron saved Wade... Lol what's funny is anti-Lebron ppl are so blinded by the hate... Kobe had Howard and Pau and just about missed the playoffs. Lebron had Mo Williams and Big Z, and had a good record every year! Get over it, Lebron is the best!

PS.. Howard is bigger and stronger than Lebron and Howard crys more than anyone

I'm sure that Steve Blake was always capable of dropping 20+ every night and distributing the ball as good as he has in the last few games.

He just needed Kobe out of the way so this diamond in the rough could get his moment.

^i don't know about Blake but Pau sure does look better when the O is ran thru him

No doubt about it - that's been his bread and butter his whole career.
He did that in Memphis and in when he runs center for the second unit in LA that's what he does.

But Blake had 24, 7 and 7 Wednesday - that isn't something you can count on every night.

Kobe is still great at 35 and Wade is no longer great at 31.
Kobe is undoubtedly a top 5 player ever and the Lakers are the best organization in basketball. They will spend the money and compete for a title most years. This year the chemistry just wasn't right. A lot of that had to due with key players constantly getting injured.

Ill say the Lakers look better without. Kobe.

Kobe held scoreless yesterday. He took about 40 twitter shots and came up empty on them all.....

When your as old as the lakers that just life. Nash will never be 06 nash, pau is soft, kobe will be even slower now after the injury. And does any of it really even matter if Dwight doesn't stay? He leaves and Kobes door offically closes for good. Imo Dwight goes to Houston.

Doubt it

[Hoot Gibson]

The Lakers should have dumped Kobe when they could have gotten some value in return. With Kobe, the Lakers have become a team where stars go to become mediocre. If Kobe does not gracefully retire, the Lakers' management is going to face some very tough decisions soon.

[BlackBear3]

Hurts the Lakers, but imo they wouldn't have made it past the first round anyway.
