After not playing in the fourth quarter of the Lakers’ blowout loss to Golden State on Tuesday, rookie point guard D’Angelo Russell sounded firm on where he stood on that issue.

Charles Barkley also sees this as a farewell tour for Bryant.
“We’re trying to get better. It’s not just my performance, we just have biggest problems”. They have won their games by an average of 15.6 points. We’d be what, 3-11? I get it, it’s Kobe, but there’s a tipping point to every scale. Right now. As in, during the season.
Serena Winters reported Young said the following things in reference to Bryant, without mentioning his name: We can’t let one guy determine everything. “It is a damn shame that Kobe has to go out this way”.
Smith continued: “I believe that it is over”.
Scott has already made it clear that Bryant’s minutes won’t be going down, so this isn’t even surprising.
“Obviously he’s struggling right now with his shot, and I think everybody can see that”, Scott said.
Kobe Bryant is not playing like a starter, but he’ll remain one.
In addition, Complex’s Russ Bengtson sent an open letter to Bryant to call for his retirement.
“And then in the press conference afterward, somebody would be asking me about this whole ’96 Bulls thing, and I love this stuff!” “Draymond is a great defender and I have a lot of respect for him”.
“It’s not worth it anymore”, he added. And if Stephen Curry’s crew can fulfill the destiny of those Heat, that means we’re heading for another back-to-back champion.
“In my opinion, in watching him, I don’t think so”, Scott said.
And hey, Kobe, listen it’s not your fault.
Perhaps one of the reasons why this current iteration of the Lakers is so brutal on fans to take in is the fact that this is an organization that has enjoyed so much success over its history.
Scott, a member of three title-winning teams, concedes that the defending National Basketball Association champs would have no trouble at all beating the current Lakers if they somehow met in a Playoff series. “And they have precipitated, expedited the process of Kobe’s demise because of what they have surrounded him with and what they have failed to surround him with”.

“Maybe they’re just giving him the 3s”.
