Kobe Bryant will make the 2015-16 season his last with the Los Angeles Lakers, general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a radio interview on Thursday.
Appearing on Sirius XM NBA Radio, the Lakers general manager said that Kobe told him “that this is it.” The Black Mamba enters the last year of his contract, in which he earns a league-high $25 million, with Los Angeles.

That's the most in the modern era, right? Certainly as a starter.

I wonder how far they would have gotten without their exceptional mid-season trades. Those saved their year for sure.

Can't remember a time when I've been less interested in the NBA payoffs, sigh. C'mon draft day.

I'm enjoying the W's romping through the playoffs. It's going to be interesting to see LeBron as underdog.

If Lebron loses in the NBA Finals this year, doesn't that mean that his record in NBA Finals series will drop to 2-out-of-7? Ouch.

Still better than Elgin Baylor (0-8) or Jerry West (1-8).

Looks like Golden State will be facing a short-handed Cleveland or Atlanta in the Finals.

Brutal press release by the Bulls, too.
http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/tomthibodeau528
“The Chicago Bulls have a history of achieving great success on and off the court. These accomplishments have been possible because of an organizational culture where input from all parts of the organization has been welcomed and valued, there has been a willingness to participate in a free flow of information, and there have been clear and consistent goals. While the head of each department of the organization must be free to make final decisions regarding his department, there must be free and open interdepartmental discussion and consideration of everyone's ideas and opinions. These internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private. Teams that consistently perform at the highest levels are able to come together and be unified across the organization-staff, players, coaches, management and ownership. When everyone is on the same page, trust develops and teams can grow and succeed together. Unfortunately, there has been a departure from this culture. To ensure that the Chicago Bulls can continue to grow and succeed, we have decided that a change in the head coaching position is required. Days like today are difficult, but necessary for us to achieve our goals and fulfill our commitments to our fans. I appreciate the contributions that Tom Thibodeau made to the Bulls organization. I have always respected his love of the game and wish him well in the future.”
