Tim Brown of the Los Angeles Times reports: Last week, Brian Shaw celebrated his 37th birthday and hopes to celebrate at least one more while in a Lakers uniform.

"I would like to play again," said Shaw. "I look at the reality of the business, our team, the way this season has gone. I know that after this season, [the Lakers] are not going to stand pat. They're going to get younger and more athletic. I understand that."

"If we won it again," he said, smiling, "I'd like to keep coming back until we didn't."
