Kupchak: We Cannot Move On Until Kobe Leaves

(Mitch) Kupchak said the Lakers need to turn the page once Bryant steps away from the game.”We cannot move on as a team until Kobe leaves,” Kupchak said. “Part of that to me is painful because I’ve been here 20 years with Kobe.

“This is a year that’s dedicated to Kobe and his farewell. From my point of view, it gives me complete clarity. … We know what our [salary] cap situation is going to be like.”
