In 4 weeks ALL restrictions will be lifted. It is then that the timetable is in KOBE's hands and NOT the Surgeon. MAMBA MEDICINE teaching US
Andrew wrote:He's supposedly aiming to return at the beginning of the season, which is admirable and you'd expect nothing less of such a competitor, but it might not be such a wonderful idea. The last I read, he's currently walking with a noticeable limp, which suggests he's still a long way away from being 100% with the season a little over three months away. If he's nowhere close to being able to return come the beginning of the season, attempting it could ultimately turn out to be detrimental to the team, not to mention the risk he'd be running of putting himself on the shelf again.
“I’m not taking any at all – that’s the negotiation that you have to have.” Kobe Bryant told Lakers Nation in an exclusive interview at his Kobe Basketball Academy on Wednesday. “For me to sit here and say, ‘Oh yeah, I’m just going to take a huge pay cut. Nah, I’m going to try to get as much as I possibly can.”

The Los Angeles Lakers have waived forward Metta World Peace and have designated him as the team’s amnesty player as allowed by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it was announced by General Manager Mitch Kupchak. “It’s tough to say goodbye to a player such as Metta, who has been a significant part of our team the past four seasons. For anyone who’s had the opportunity to get to know him, it’s impossible not to love him,” said Kupchak. “He has made many contributions to this organization, both in his community work as well as in our games; perhaps no more so than in his clutch play in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals in helping to lead us over the Celtics in one of the greatest playoff wins in Lakers history. We thank Metta for all his contributions and wish him the best of luck in the future.”
