Kobe Bryant talks to Lakers Management

Los Angeles Lakers G Kobe Bryant has been very vocal during this NBA season about the current state of the franchise.  Whether good or bad, Bryant has been brutally honest when it came to the franchise and has even at times appeared to criticize the front office.  Despite having no patience for a rebuild, Bryant and part owner Jim Buss recently reopened the lines of communication.  

“Jimmy [executive vice president of player personnel Jim Buss] and I actually talked after that and it’s important for us to have that conversation because this is their team, it’s been in their family for years and we all know what the track record is for that, but I’ve also been part of this franchise since I was 17 years old,”
