Kobe Bryant had his exit interview with Phil Jackson and Mitch Kupchak on Friday.
Bryant could opt out of the final two years of his contract and become a free agent.
Asked by reporters if he would opt out, Bryant said, "I've been deflecting that all year and I ain't going to stop now."
Pressed to explain, he responded, "I'm not going anywhere. I know I ain't going nowhere, so it's just a waste of our breaths just talking about it."
