Kobe Bryant always has his season-ending interview after the rest of his teammates and this year was no different. Kevin Ding of The Orange County Register reports Bryant and general manager Mitch Kupchak had a meeting roughly 11 days after the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs.
According to Ding, Lakers vice president Jim Buss and head coach Mike Brown did not attend the Bryant-Kupchak meeting.
The Lakers have limited assets and are facing a huge tax bill, which has lead to rumors thatPau Gasol could be traded. It will probably happen if Kobe asks for it.
Bryant had a procedure — Orthokine — on his knee last year in Germany which helped him this season and there is speculation he is back there again now have it done again.
