Kobe Bryant reminisces on his draft day by taking a swipe at the Hornets. Kobe Bryant in 1996. On July 1st, 1996, Charlotte Hornets draft pick Kobe Bryant was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac. 18 years later, the five-time NBA champion reminded the Hornets of that decision. To be fair, the Hornets went from 41-41 to 54-28 with Divac, and Bryant played 15 minutes per game in his first season.
On Monday morning, the Los Angeles Lakers signed Kobe Bryant to a two-year, $48 million contract extension. The deal locks up the face of the most important franchise in basketball through 2016, and will bring his total career earnings to around $328 million.ven if Kobe isnât worth this extension, heâs absolutely been worth all of the money the Lakers have invested in him since 1996. From a basketball perspective, Mondayâs extension doesnât make a lot of sense. The deal will pay Bryant $23.5 million next season and $25 million in 2015-16.
