<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Lakers have no expectation of Vlade Divac playing another season, but the team said Friday it has yet to be notified that the 37-year-old center has decided to retire, as reported by a Serbian newspaper. Divac, who underwent back surgery in January and played in only 15 games, was quoted as saying: "I always gave 100 percent to the sport, and after so many years of playing, I can no longer do that. I'm ending my professional career as a player, but I will remain in basketball." Divac said he would work as an assistant coach and international scout for the Lakers. But the team has a full complement of assistants in Frank Hamblen, Kurt Rambis and Brian Shaw, and recently hired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to tutor high school center Andrew Bynum. </div> Source I like the idea of Divac being an international scout for the Lakers.
