<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Divac, 37, was recently quoted by a Serbian newspaper as saying he would retire, but agent Marc Fleisher said Divac had been fluctuating on the topic almost daily. The Lakers have until Friday to exercise a one-year, $5.4-million option on Divac or buy him out for $2 million, although Fleisher said the deadline could be extended another couple of weeks. The Lakers could also buy out Divac and then try to re-sign him for about $1.1 million, if he wants to play. Forward Lamar Odom, who missed the final 17 games last season because of a torn muscle in his left shoulder, has not fully recovered from surgery and could miss the Lakers' first exhibition game, Oct. 11 against Golden State in Honolulu. The Lakers worked out veteran forward-center Corie Blount, who did not play last season. Blount, who spent almost four seasons with the Lakers until being waived toward the end of the 1998-99 season, has career averages of 3.6 points and 4.2 rebounds with seven teams over 11 seasons. </div> Source
Blount? I know he played for PJ back in the day...but does anyone still think he can bring down the boards like he used to?
