Of course he'll keep making them money, but in terms of the on court product it seems like this doesn't give them nearly as much cap flexibility as they could have to bring in other stars. You know the team's cap situation better than me obviously, but if I'm a fan I'm wishing they would've settled for less.

KOBE IS STILL HANDS DOWN A TOP-TIER, ELITE LEVEL PLAYER... WHEN HE WENT DOWN LAST YEAR, HE WAS PLAYIN BETTER THAN ANY1 IN THE LEAGUE...
AS FAR AS CAP FLEXIBILITY, WE STILL HAVE THE CAP-SPACE TO SIGN ONE MORE MAX-CONTRACT PLAYER, HENCE WHY I SAID "MELO COMIN NEXT"...KOBE DEFINITELY DESERVES WHAT HE GOT AND WE'RE STILL GOING TO KEEP BUILDIN ON IT- WE GOOD 8)

We had a hall of famer, George Brett, who played his whole career in Kansas City, won an MVP, a championship, and still does a lot for the city and organization even today. It's something you don't see often enough, especially now, but I think it's great for sports, in general.

Hope the contract has something in it where Kobe actually has to play and that money isn't guaranteed. Because at his age his mind may be way ahead of his body and his body won't hold up enough to avoid injury, he also may retire early.

Loyalty can be very counter-productive in pro sports though. With a guy like Kobe who was playing at a high level when he went down it's one thing, but "loyalty" isn't really something you can put a blanket over if you're running an organization.
