3 MORE YEARS... That’s how long Kobe Bryant will stay with the Los Angeles Lakers once his current contract expires in 2011. KB24 signed a new agreement with the defending champions yesterday that will allow him to earn $90 million through the 2013-14 NBA season. All that needs to be done now is to extend coach Phil Jackson’s contract, make sure Pau Gasol stays healthy (ditto with Jackson), and...possibly get rid of Andrew Bynum (and Sasha Vujacic. Definitely Vujacic). That dude just keeps getting injured. Chris Bosh, where you at?

Oh, and one more task for the Lakers: Become a much better road team, G*ddamnit! (Starting with the upcoming playoffs, obviously) The Lakers were total crap when they were away from STAPLES Center this season. Get your s**t together, guys... LeBron James is gonna return to the NBA Finals sooner or later...
