Los Angeles Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) general manager Mitch Kupchak said star guard Kobe Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/110/kobe-bryant) has told the GM that the 2015-16 season will be Bryant's last with the Lakers.

"He has indicated to me that this is it," Kupchak said Thursday in a radio appearance with SiriusXM NBA Radio.

Bryant is scheduled to make a league-high $25 million in his final contract season -- his 20th -- with the Lakers. But there's speculation that Bryant could play beyond next season, and Bryant said he hasn't ruled out that possibility.

"I think first and foremost, he's on the last year of a deal," Kupchak told SiriusXM NBA Radio. "There have been no discussions about anything going forward. I don't think there will be."

With the end of the Kobe/Duncan era, the league will not be the same. It's cute that teams like the Warriors and Hawks are doing well but for the most part, the 00's/10s were ruled by both teams.
