Message: [QUOTE="Phenomenon, post: 1296780, member: 3610"] Fox had just signed the Lakers to a 2 billion dollar extension. I imagine in the contract there was verbage to nullify said contract if the Lakers fielded a team featuring: Ryan Kelly Tariq Black Robert Sacre Jordan Clarkson Wayne Ellington Carlos Boozer Nick Young Jeremy Lin The Lakers weren't winning a championship this year or next anyways. By resigning Kobe, people still showed up to their games ([I]pre-injury[/I]), watched them on TV ([I]pre-injury[/I]), and they will still get a top-five pick. It was a win-win for the Lakers. Another interesting development since the injury was the big narrative the stat geeks were pushing regarding Kobe was that the Lakers were a better team without him. As it turns out, they are 1-8 since the season-ending injury [/QUOTE]
