Lakers Will Abandon Bryant And Chase Emperor in 2014. Is it possible?

The Eric Spinks analysis Lakers' operation in the next few years, Spinks said the Lakers in 2014 will scramble for James, then regardless of whether Kobe retired or not, the James will dominate the Lakers.

Lakers cap space for the other team of the Union, is considered to be overwhelmed in the 2012-13 season, the Lakers' payroll up to $ 100 million, plus the luxury tax, they actually afford up to about $ 130 million. Wait until the summer of next year, the Lakers need to talk about renewal with the new aid Howard, which would mean the Lakers burden becomes more harder.

Although there are so many problems, but this is also just a thing of two seasons, the Lakers player contract will go to the 2014-2015 season. If the Lakers with Howard renewed success, in the 2014-15 season, only Howard and Steve Nash are genuine contract, their payroll is about $ 32 million.

Two years later, Bryant and Gasol's contract will expire, and whether they will leave the Lakers? Bryant will consider retirement? If Bryant renew, his new contract starting salary is between $ 32 million to $ 33 million. But whether the Lakers would give him such a high contract is a big doubt.

The most optimistic estimates assume that the 2014 salary cap of 62 million, the Lakers then gave up their lineup all free agents, they will be able to get about $ 25 million in cap space. If renewal Bryant, Lakers will not get the big fish in a free market. Above free market in that year, James such an alliance, he has the option of early termination of the contract at the time. A 36-year-old Bryant, another nearly 30-year-old James, I believe the Lakers will make a choice. In addition to James, they also have Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Rudy - Rudy Gay and other big players.

The Lakers have another choice, that is, renewed for one year with Bryant, and then in 2015 to chase the big players, in addition to the Big Three of the Heat, the Lakers can also choose the big players, including Kevin - Carrefour, Mark - Gasol, Rajon - Rondo, Tony - Parker, Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Gay, Tyson - Chandler.
