Kobe Bryant Believes Lakers Will Be ‘Back In Contention’ Soon
| Quote: | “The Lakers are one of those really rare franchises that, even though they may go through down periods, they inevitably find themselves back in contention…Luke (Walton) and (assistant coach) Brian Shaw and the staff and the young players that they have, have a tremendous amount of potential and I think they will get there.”

Boston did it by adding two Hall of Famers to a third Hall of Famer who missed half the previous season.
I'll be happy if we get up to 30 wins. |

Kinda weird to see Kobe refer to the Lakers as "they" instead of "we." |

I'd be satisfied with 25. Just a step in the right direction is exciting at this point. Stop the slide. Three straight seasons of declining wins. It'll probably take three seasons to get back to the playoffs. Maybe longer, if Jim is still at the helm. |
