@chicagobulls: Surgery was performed at Rush University Medical Center and Rose is out for the remainder of the season.

that they didn't state "regular season" is meaningful right

the living fuck?

lmfao

they need an intervention

Could his salary break 35 mil a year?

Lol SI cover

remember that thing about the lakers having no money on their books after 2014 except nash or whatever

anyone seen a number yet?

Ramona Shelburne ‏@ramonashelburne 1m

Kobe Bryants contract will make him the highest paid player in the league the next two seasons

THE LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are beautiful just the way you are lakers

Brad Stevens said he's been mixing in Rajon Rondo into 5-on-0 drills during practice. "So he's ready when the time comes."

http://espn.go.com/nba/salaries

Lololololol I didn't realize Amar'e was the third highest paid player in the league

hopefully the knicks can acquire kobe

this seems off

14 Rudy Gay, SF Toronto Raptors $17,888,932
15 Kevin Durant, SF Oklahoma City Thunder $17,832,627

joe johnson is making 24.87 million in 2015, so it has to be above that

I really want to know if he's still staying above 30 mil

its just the standard escalation of kobes max contract right, isnt that how extensions work

well kobe's making $30m this year, it's def coming down from that

is it def

Steve McPherson ‏@steventurous 1m
The YOLOs Angeles Lakers.

Kobe's contract will be $23.5 million and $25 million, source tells ESPNLA.
Retweeted by Howard Beck

oh ok well thats reasonable

lmao, *just* above joe johnson's salaries both years, what a petty SOB

lol

those salaries PROBABLY won't be terrible but the lakers really need to move on from the kobe era

which isn't to say that they should get rid of kobe but making him the highest paid player in the NBA tells any other important potential FA (love etc) that you're still gonna be only the second most important person on the team

what those salaries will def be terrible

Tim Reynolds ‏@ByTimReynolds 1m

Put another way on Rose: From Feb. 9, 2012 through start of next year, the Bulls will have paid him roughly $37 million to play 27 games.

melo's option is 25.3M next year so maybe he won't be the highest paid

melo already said he's opting out tho

yeah those salaries are v terrible

the lakers will continue to be bad but will also continue to make money, the owners know you can't just lowball kobe, their entire fanbase loves him there would be a revolt

haha ok so kobe's salary is actually even closer to amare's next year -- 89k above amare in 2015 and 105k above joe johnson's in 2016
