I know that, but given the circumstances I think it's more likely Jump got rid of him. Maybe Kubo wanted another contract, but Jump refused. Kubo's contract obviously expires soon, otherwise they wouldn't be able to cancel Bleach. But even if the contracted ended, I highly doubt Kubo would want to end it like this.

I don't think Jump are an 'evil' magazine either, but Jump is king for a reason; and that's because of how strict and harsh they are when it comes to cancelling series. That and their marketing power. No other manga magazine are nearly as harsh as jump. Now that's not to say everything jump do is right, cause despite being the top magazine, their sales have dropped over the years.
