The only way Kobe has another shot at a sixth title is to play out this year as good as possible and be the mentor to a losing team of rookies like a mature adult would. Mature as in he knows nothing happening this year. Then next year play for a team that has a chance with Kobe at his limited playing ability. My mind would go to Cleveland as an excellent example - They sign Kobe for between 2 and 5 million and Kobe helps Lebron and the others win in a similar fashion that Ron Harper helped the young Shaq and Kobe win their first. Warriors already won without Kobe, so they don't need him and Kobe wouldn't be enough to help Miami or the Bulls.
That's the only way we will see Kobe win another title because if he waits until the Lakers are ready - he would be at least two or three years older. I still like what I am seeing and I still think that this young group is going to be really good, but you don't learn how to win without playing in the real games like they are doing and playing without experience usually means losing a lot of games. It's called bitter medicine - like Nyquil. So drink it up and say yum yum
