Not unless management gets him a better supporting cast.

Kobe has never won a title for the Lakers as it was always Shaq-Kobe-Horry winning the title for the Lakers while Tim Duncan was recovering from major injuries, etc...

I would consider Kobe a cancer and following Hubie Brown's coaching strategy would get rid of Kobe any way you can, but in today's era of NBA free agency unless a team really wants to pay the luxury tax for going over the salary cap, a super star usually has to stay with his team unless it is a trade between two teams and their super stars who are both making max money.

The Lakers should trade Kobe or surround him with some quality players, maybe make the trade for KG or J-O, thats the only way the Lakers would win another title.

YES, YES, YES!!!! Ok, look people, if kobe wanted to he could score 50 points a game and win every single game. why would the lakers give away the best NBA player EVER. They will win another championship with him, and imma tell u why. If they dont trade him like he wants, he will be pissed off, right??? And when kobe gets pissed, we all know that all hell breaks loose(at least for the oppisition). He will take over the franchise and make it his own. He will single handedly snatch the championship back from San Antonio!!! Soo, i guess its not LA who wins the title, but KOBE.

HELL YA!!, GO KOBE!!!!!

The Lakers won't trade him. They won't get good enough value in return. That being said, they won't win another title with him until he learns the value of trusting his teammates and putting the team ahead of his personal statistics. Also, as long as he can stay away from reporters, interviewers and rogue camera crews, he won't say something completely stupid to alienate his teammates, his coaching staff, or the Laker front office any more than he already has.

I think they should traded him so they can get better players. Kobe might win a title with a different team if he gets on a good team.

you cant trade a high caliber player like Kobe unless you are gettin some of his near equals like Lebron, DWade. Those players arent goin anywhere. So no. I think he is the hardest workin player in the NBA, he trains damn near every day in the offseason, his work ethic alone should inspire you to like him. I guess there are just a bunch of haters out there. Give him a good sidekick and supportin cast and they will win.

see it all depends what they will do this offseason and what their plan will be for the future, it you think you can get a valuable second option such as KG, JO, with Lamar as your third, I say keep him,if you think you can get a third option as Ron Artest, rashard Lewis, with Lamar as your second, keep him. But if you want to face pOrtland, seattle in the future for a championship contending team, you must trade Kobe, and build around andrew bynum, with maybe Lamar as your best player, or Andrew.

Bottom Line:
NO valuable 2nd or third option for Kobe, no they will not win another title, or if all starters remain healthy, a possibility of a ring might occur, but it is least likely

Both, first Kobe [the greatest player right now] will win another title with Lakers,but lately i've been thinking maybe he cant win without Shaq.

Not likely, but they are dead set to try to build a team around him. Unless they are going to be agressive in trades to get another superstar, which will drive Kobe crazy and he won't play hard. So no, and maybe.

Yes they will win another title but not this season, even tho they are getting D. Fisher back they need someone else better. Mark my words that Kobe will win another ring before he retires
