Amare Stoudemire will make $23.4 million in 2014-15. Joe Johnson will make $24.9 million in 2015-16. Kobe will top both.

It's good move by the Laker simply for the fact that this his LAST contract. A lot of money is gonna get made from Jersey Sales and Kobe is still by far the biggest draw in the league both at home and the road. Plus he's at that point in his career where he's gonna be breaking all kinds of records
Lakers are definitely not capable of signing TWO max players now though. I'd be shocked if Pau is brought back. Hopefully Nash retires and give us a bit more cap space.
Even with Kobe's contract being so big the team will still have way more flexibility than they have had the past 3 seasons.

I'm a Kobe stan and Laker fan but this deal is awful from a basketball standpoint.
This Kobe deal sounds as if the Lakers signed him for ticket sales & to watch him get the all time scoring record in a Lakers uniform.

even id it is 24mil. that leaves the LAKERS with 26million in cap space over the summer
meanwhile wade/bosh/bron/ will all have to take paycuts to even be able to all be re-signed :
