ESPN.com reports on Kobe Bryant, Mitch Kupchak, and the Lakers:
“At some point we have to start a new run, and that’s definitely going to include Kobe next year,” Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said Friday.”
“To jeopardize the next five or seven years … [by bringing] in old veterans that make a lot of money, just to win one more year, because that’s Kobe’s last year or could be his last year, I’m not sure that fits into doing it the right way.”
The 36-year-old Bryant is slated to make a league-high $25 million in 2015-16, the final year of a two-year extension he signed with the Lakers in December 2013.”
