The Lakers will have to acquire a superstar willing to take less to play there in 2014....Melo has stated he will not do so...Lebron does not respect Kobe's game...so I don't see him going...its going to be tough for them to get a TIER 1 type player....Dwight was the top tier signing...and Stern vetoed Paul....TIER 2 and 3 type players can tolerate Kobe's nonsense.(See Nash and Gasol)...and that who they will have to sign...the problem is....this is not 2009...the Western Conference is is as difficult as the MLB AL EAST...every team is a threat to win a ring...you need 2 major stars and a top shelf TIER 2 type player....to contend..
No TIER 1 type superstar is willing to come and play with Kobe at this point...never mind take less to do so...not after what Kobe did to Shaq and Dwight....
