And he’d get a nice one year contract in Europe

It’s 2 games a week and he would average something between 20-25 minutes a night only. Very good for his old knees.
Also, Kobe has often talk about playing in Italy a couple of seasons before retiring and his contract is up at the same time as Pierce, so maybe we can get Kobe vs Truth geriatric scoring battle in the 2015 Euroleague season, that would be fun.
