Wanting to depart on his own terms, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Shawn Marion said he plans to retire after the season, reports The Arizona Republic. Marion is in his 15th NBA season and said watching his son grow up while he deals with the rigors of the NBA has been difficult. "The biggest thing is having a son. I got attached to him.
