Almost time for Kobe to hand reins to Bynum?
Kobe is never handing over the reins; it's part of his DNA to be a gunner (same as his dad). His contract runs out in 2 more years, paying him $30 million + that year. That's when the Lakers will get a new top scorer

Someone's been watching ESPN NBA Pre-Game!
Definitely needs to go through Bynum and Gasol morebut that won't happen until the coach says something and Brown won't say a thing to Kobe. Lakers done this year already.
Plus when Bynum goes down with an injury again this season the Lakers will even be worse off!!!

No doubt Bynum is in good form at the moment, his numbers are great and I agree he is close to unstoppable when he catches in the post. I think he's still got to prove he can stay on the court for a full season before he becomes the number 1 option for the Lakers. There aren't many more heralded spots in American sport than being the go to guy for the LA Lakers.
Having said that, Kobe is trying to do too much. Maybe an offense starting in the hands of a Bynum of Gasol in the post, that allowed him too play off them would help both him and the Lakers. No doubt Bryant still takes the last shot and probably the most shots for the team, but starting the offense in the hands of the bigs might help everyone.
Interesting topic lockstock!
