You apparently do not want to make Kobe Bryant mad – something the Los Angeles Lakers are likely familiar with, but are being reminded of today.
Reports leaked on Tuesday night hinting that Bryant would miss the remainder of the season. Those reports were confirmed today after Bryant was reportedly ‘convinced’ by the Lakers to sit out for the rest of the year.
He wasn’t exactly a fan of that idea and now he’s unleashed on the front office, suggesting that they better have a plan for the 2014-15 season because he’s not interested in waiting for another year to rebuild the team.
Kobe says that he has no patience for the Lakers front office to take another year to build a contender. He expects changes this summer.
There was plenty more where that came from…
Kobe not thrilled with direction of the Lakers. "This is not what we play for. This is not what we stand for."

Does Kobe have patience to wait for future free agents? "NO. Not one lick…oh lets just go into next year and suck. Nope"

"I feel like killing everybody. Im on edge all the time. I feel it probably more than anybody in the organization. Drives me crazy" #Kobe

Welp – Kobe sounds like a pretty happy camper today, right?
It’s been rumored that the Lakers would attempt to wait until the free agency heavy 2015 offseason which will take place after next season, but Kobe seems to have other plans.
