其中一段如下：
Whether or not they knew league-wide austerity measures were in the
offing in 2010, when they gave Bryant his last big extension, there's no
debate that, in basketball terms, the Lakers drastically overvalued their
star wing. He is now a volume scorer who is still an excellent player, but
the fact is that players better than him -- like Dwight Howard, LeBron James
, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul -- are paid way less. Even supposing that,
despite his age, Bryant's game somehow remains at its current level, the
market price for a superstar has fallen precipitously since his last
contract.
By the time Kobe's current contract nears expiration, it will be one of
the worst in the NBA -- not because he will have deteriorated beyond
recognition, but because the outrageous sum will have such a limiting effect
on the Lakers' options. [...]
Is he worth destroying the most formidable frontline in the NBA?
Because, as everyone seems to tacitly acknowledge, that's how much Kobe
Bryant costs. |
