Kobe would absolutely take this team to the playoffs. The biggest issue isnt lebrons defense. Its lebrons inability to maximize offensive output when hea on the floor. Hes elevating this team. After the departure of shaq, phil, gary and karl, and the arrival of nine new players, everybody knew this wasn't going to be an easy season for the lakers.
Despite not having injured amare stoudamire, the phoenix suns don't present a good scenario for the lakers, whose clear objective will be not to be eliminated in the first round. When the lakers missed the playoffs in 05, did kobe get the blame? I was only 8 at the time so i was only watching the games and didnt care much about espn and debate shows. The lakers missed the playoffs in 1958, 1975, 1976, 1994, and 2005. They will have now missed in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
