Summary: The Lakers’ season has officially ended, but as always, the show must go on for the Kamenetzky Brothers. Plenty to discuss with the offseason officially underway. Among the talking points: * Before breaking down what lies ahead for the Lakers, we pay tribute to the dancing machine that is Andrew Bynum. As always, dude remains completely indifferent towards public perception. * During his exit interview Tuesday, Kobe Bryant emphatically stated his preference that this year’s core four return (http://sulia.com/kambrothers/f/557c50bb-fc7e-47de-b3d7-44297bb4f2f3/), believing the Lakers figured it out over the second half, and that continuity would serve them well. He also believes said intact roster, if healthy, is absolutely capable of winning a title. Is Kobe’s logic sound?Is he correctly assessing this group’s potential? And if so, is keeping the band together even financially doable? * What are the biggest priorities as the front office decides whatever moves to make? * Kobe also lobbied on behalf of Mike D’Antoni, who continues to publicly receive front office support. At the moment, all signs point to him being retained. Is this the right decision? * Dan D’Antoni appears completely secure with a career working underneath his older brother, who’s also made a boatload more money. Could the K Bros function within similar parameters? * Who’s dumber? The Knicks wearing “funeral black” (http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/knicksblog/woodson_furious_that_knicks_wore_agm1f5zjWGFVI6Oz0iytWL) to commemorate the burial of an opponent not yet dead or Jordan Crawford for pissing off Carmelo Anthony (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/5/2/4293144/jordan-crawford-carmelo-anthony-trash-talk) by revisiting Honey Nut Cheerios-Gate (http://www.ibtimes.com/doc-rivers-defends-kevin-garnett-denies-honey-nut-cheerios-comments-carmelo-anthony-about-lala#)?
