kobe should just retire save him self from a worse injury
like any punch drunk boxer they never know when to quit Steve.
when he feels he cant score on the opposition anymore he will retire, or when he get reinjured like alonzo mourning did.
he has one year on his contract, he should honour it and play his best, if he can still compete i feel he should still play but take a lesser role instead of being the be all and end all. he should only play 30 mins a game, no more, 35 is ancient in NBA life, as for howard he has nothing kobe wants, no rings, no mvp, no nothing, watch howard try to align with chris paul somewhere, Atlanta is a option but i hear howard hates it there and the clippers dont do any deals with the clippers.
I bet howard signs with lakers to collect $$ then cries about his role and they trade him. Its a player league, they can dictate just about everything, no one cares about the coach or the owner.
