With the NBA Draft right around the corner on June 26, Lakers could seriously consider drafting Randle with their lottery pick if he is available.
In addition, there’s been a lot of talk about Jurgen Klinsmann’s comments toward Kobe Bryant’s lucrative contract extension. Kobe brushed it aside calling it “comical” and spoke with ESPN during his visit to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.
Klinsmann believes Bryant is being overpaid for what he has done and not for what he will do over the next two seasons. Klinsmann used Bryant’s highly priced contract as his defense towards not picking USA’s Landon Donovan for this years World Cup. The U.S. coach believes Bryant is getting highly paid for what he has accomplished rather than how he’ll help the Lakers moving forward.
Bryant believes the comments to be comical. He knows the Lakers organization, as any other, will reward its players for what they have done as well as keeping a balance while planning for the future.
