    vb,

    Alonzo will play, GP will retire.

    Alonzo will play for at least one more title before he retires. He was active and impactful in the Finals this year. GP on the other hand was running on fumes, so I'm sure this past season was his last.

    Alonzo is too tough to retire at this point, but Gary has shown his true colors, so he could retire and not be sorely missed.

    It is still a bit tough to see Alonzo and Shaquille on the same team, especially since they were working on developing a powerful center-center rivalry that began in college

    I think Gary Payton might have one more year left in him. Although I think Alonzo has maybe two or three good years left. He still plays the game very physical and plays great defense.

    Alonzo is basically too difficult to retire at this factor, yet Gary has shown his actual colorings, so he ought to retire and not be sorely missed. it continues to be somewhat difficult to work out Alonzo and Shaquille on the comparable team, truly considering the fact that they have been engaged on arising a effective center-center rivalry that began in college

    Alonzo can still play, he is very physical, but i think he should retires due to illness and injuries. He got the ring he yawned for so long; its time to move on just like the "Bus"

    I think Mourning will stick around another year. He can still block and rebound. He is a great backup to Shaq.

    Payton should retire. He can make jumpers..but is not the defensive presence ..he used to be.

    I hope so. I'm tired of Gary Payton jumping everywhere Shaq goes to get a title. He got it. PLEASE retired. Zo the same way. He jump to the Nets to get a title easy and back to the Heat when Shaq came. So he got his title he needs to retired.

    I hope payton does he's useless, but Zo has a couple of years left. He looked great during the finals.
