He may because bit better offensively but not as good defensively. So he may fitbin ok, but I don’t think he’ll help them get another ring. I actually think LA had all the pieces in place to win, they just got lazy and complacent and in my book thats a whole lot worse that not having skill and talent. I know Kobe isnt 100% but he hasn’t been or a long time and probably ever will be. They’re just not a cohesive team and whatever else Phil achieved he failed in that regard. I don’t know how much of that failure was due to deferring to Kobe too much, but I think it has something to do with it. Anyway I am still a Laker fan, go Kobe!!

He is a highly effective wing player, if used properly, and would be a terrific fit beside the likes of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest.
