Rumors continue to swirld about Laker star Kobe Bryant who has been eyeing the Knicks and Clippers as two teams he could possibly move onto next year.

Bryant, said again he intended to opt out of his contract. After that, with the Clippers and New York Knicks believed to be among his options, Bryant said he did not know.

"I love playing for Phil," he insisted. "I learned so much playing for Phil. Playing with Shaq, too, we got a lot of things accomplished, despite our differences.

"I wouldn't be opposed to playing with them forever. It's not up to me. It's not my decision."

Asked to clarify that, Bryant said, "It's going to be my decision where I play next year. It's their decision what they're going to do with this team."
