Dude probably knows he’s done, so might as well close out your career at home in front of your most beloved fans.

Sad it didn’t workout for him in Milwaukee but glad the Bucks and him were both able to move on relatively well!

WTF are they doing? Makes no sense.

Yeah it’s a bit of a head scratcher. Like if he comes back the year after and is close to his same output they have him on a discount then.

But they’re paying him all of this next season just to take that chance. And if he doesn’t recover well there’s more downside.

Feels mostly a sentimental move

It's absolutely a sentimental move. It's Kobe's last contract.
