Kobe Bryant said Monday afternoon that the legal events of recent months had
not changed his mind, and that he would opt out of his Laker contract at the
end of the season.
Bryant has the choice of playing for the Lakers next season for $14.6 million
or becoming an unrestricted free agent. Karl Malone, Gary Payton and Derek
Fisher have the same contract options and Shaquille O'Neal could become a
free agent after next season.
Coach Phil Jackson has one season remaining on his contract and, according to
Jackson, there have been no recent negotiations on an extension.
Conversely, the Lakers offered Bryant a three-year, $54.8 million extension
more than a year ago and that offer, according to club sources, remains on the
table. Bryant now qualifies for a four-year extension under the collective
bargaining agreement.
"We'll just stay in the moment, just appreciate every day and every game, go
from there," he said.
Later, on the possibility of the Lakers looking very different next season,
he added, "In sports, everything comes to an end."

Bryant has said he has been treated well in most public venues and, although
he has yet to play an exhibition game, fans have responded to the felony
sexual assault charge against him with support.
He has not watched a game from the bench, however, and all of the Lakers'
preseason games are considered Laker home games, even in arenas other than
Staples Center, meaning partisan crowds.
The Lakers won't play on the road until Nov. 1 in Phoenix, then on Nov. 4
begin a four-game trip through Milwaukee, San Antonio, New Orleans and
Memphis. Bryant said he was unconcerned.
"I've never heard [of] a fan blocking a jump shot," he said.
Booed in most road arenas because he is a high-profile Laker and in one,
Philadelphia's, despite spending many years living there, Bryant has
developed a firm road defiance.
""He stood up to all kinds of pressure in his career," Jackson said. "This is
different, of course. We anticipate he's going to be bigger than a lot of
people that are there."
