Brian Scalabrine hopes to continue playing in the NBA for as long as possible, after which he may pursue coaching or announcing. "I'll play in the NBA as long as I can," said Scalabrine. "I'll get cut one day. That's just the only way I can really go. To just retire would be like quitting to me. They'll have to kick me out."
