Stats: 27.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists

Ideal landing spot(s): Washington Wizards, New York Knicks 

One of Kobe Bryant’s last highly productive season of his career is being flushed down the drain.

Last night, Kobe went off for 44 points, and it meant absolutely nothing because the Lakers ended up losing to the Warriors by 21. And it wasn’t even that close.

Kobe needs to get traded, one way or another. The 1-9 Lakers are doing a disservice to a player that gave them everything for the better part of his 18 seasons in the NBA. It’s a shame that his final 2-3 seasons in the NBA will be wasted away.
