As TNT prepared to tip off its 24th season of NBA coverage this week, studio analysts Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith of Inside the NBA studio weighed in on all things basketball during a network news conference Monday.
Barkley said the Los Angeles Lakers should trade the unhappy Kobe Bryant before he leaves via free agency.
"You can't let him opt out and not get anything in return for him," Barkley said. "At this point, you just make the best deal you can get." If they can get "two young players or three and a couple of draft picks, that's a good deal," he added.
Smith added the Laker "who takes the most shots, makes the most money, plays the most minutes and gets the most accolades is the most unhappy. That's kind of amazing to me."
