Kobe is still most likely to resign reguardless of whether GS gets the room. GS would be in the same ballpark as the Clips and Suns.
I agree that re-signing with the Lakers is still the most likely choice. If the court case drags on, then there is little doubt.
One real possibility is that Kobe may get off, but not get "vindicated". OJ was acquitted, but it did not help his reputation. The very skill of Kobe's lawyers may result in the typical comments of "best justice money can buy".
If that happens, it would be in Kobe's interest to sit tight and wait a year for free agency.
