    Can we make him an ambassador or give him a whatever he wants role like Dirk has?

    He has young girls, so maybe wait until they're out of toddlerhood, but put the offer out there.

    I’d love to see him have some sort of front office role with our team. Smart and well respected throughout the league.

    Pau Gasol - pure class act. Well deserved Lakers jersey retirement. So glad 16 is up in the rafters next to Kobe's 24.

    Pau started the 10-11 season very well .

    The 3 Finals run and all the international play with Spain began too much to deal with at one point both mentally and physically

    Then the Shannon Brown episode was the head shot ..

    Pau was a great team B-ball player and a great human being , I'm sure he made Kobe a better leader and more human towards his teammates too

    Let's not forget Dwight hurt his back the previous season with the Magic ... He never was the same player he used to after that

    I had reservations about Pau deserving to get his Jersey retired honestly. Too many soft and maddening moments for my liking. I seem to be in the minority, and I'm ok with that. But if it had to do with being a quality human being, there is no dispute of any kind.

    LOL ... if maddening moments where a factor, Shaq should have been stripped of all his championships.

    To me it's pretty simple. You don't make it to 3 NBA finals without Pau.
