Koala:
even if he changed now it would be a little too late to get the 6th ring
trading players or not the lakers just don't have enough pieces to win it all, there is also the coaching issue
i don't think the lakers would have got past OKC had the CP3 deal gone through coz they would be without gasol
so if championship, mvp, scoring champ are all out of questions for kobe, the only meaningful thing he can do now is climbing up on the all time scoring list, he got a great chance to pass MJ on that list, catching the mailman and jabbar would be a lot more difficult though
i think kobe still got a few 50 points games left in him, as long as he take enough shots like the way he did from 05~07, that's what makes him fun to watch
