They wanted to free up the money and roster spot(s). Now under the hard cap w room to sign Chriss who they like better than wcs. They didn’t want him to opt into his player option and be stuck w him next year. Frees up playing time for spellman too

grain of salt but:
rumors about Rick Fox being on the copter as well.
other rumors involve a couple of Kobe's daughters.

Horrible news. I went to bump a Kobe thread to discuss but we don't have one positive thread in the archive. I guess that makes sense but it felt particularly sad since this situation sounds so horrible.

I was at the Sixers-Lakers game last night. First NBA game in person; tons of fun and the Sixers unexpectedly won. When LeBron scored the bucket that passed Kobe, they announced the achievement on the PA and the crowd gave LeBron a huge cheer.
RIP Kobe. You tore my heart out in 2001. Best to his family.

idk what happened but one witness they spoke with heard the low flying helicopter and didn't say it sounded like it was in distress, just flying very low, and then he heard it go right into the hillside. it crashed less than half a mile from the freeway. it's very hilly the spot where it crashed wasn't very high up, so the fog wasn't necessarily a factor, it could have been some kind of engine issue. but obviously since it was so foggy one would imagine it would be relevant to the cause. down here this morning it was vv foggy, low visibility.
fuck who knows, what bullshit.
― omar little, Sunday, 26 January 2020 21:28 (four years ago) link
this is so all awful and so very difficult to process
― Clay, Sunday, 26 January 2020 21:29 (four years ago) link
very hilly *but the spot wasn't very high up. not so high up that the copter was flying at high altitude and ran into an unexpected mountainside.
it he was going to Mamba Academy there would have been a few miles to go yet.

Speaking to residents in Calabasas who heard the helicopter crash this morning that killed Kobe Bryant describing it as “a falling noise” and that you could tell “something was wrong”— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) January 26, 2020
who knows. wonder if any video will come out, seems like it always does these days
