    Hey guys. What happened to all the Latrell sprewell talk earlier in the summer??? I mean at least we could get someone who still has quickness and scoring ability. Probably just as much of a shoot first type player as Antoine Walker. At this point the offseason seems kind of disappointing so just trying to think of who else we can get/sign.

    God help us if JVG reaches the same conclusions that you have.

    He helped a very talented T-wolve team into the lottery. He was a locker room cancer in Minesota and with the great chemistry we have it would be a shame to bring a guy like that in

    JVG doesn't need anymore ankle incidents.

    LS is a talented player, but I don't see him as being a team player. That might be an unfair statement, but I haven't heard rumor 1 about either side being interested in each other.

    He's out getting a contract that will help him feed his family. He's going to starve on the contract he'll be receiving this time vs what the Wolves offered him to reup.

    Even at MLE, I'd pass on Spree because of his attitude and his game is what used to be not what is and will be.

    What happened?

    The people making those posts came down from their crack highs and passed their pipe over to all the posters now who say we should make a run at Tyson Chandler because we have a real chance. Spree won't be able to feed his family if we sign him here and if he can, then we over paid for an old guard what is only a slightly taller version of the old guards we already have.

    he would only be a bandaid for one year. if you think about it, we might have beaten the mavs if we had him instead of wesley.

    If he'd play for the vet's minimum, I wouldn't mind him as a Rocket. Of course, he'd laugh if he read this.

    he's better than wesley.......better than sura.....better than james......even tho he's old i bet he's still got three good years in him left. he's a phenomenal athlete even tho he's lost a step. i'll take him for cheap.

    You're leaving out the "he's a total *******" factor.

    if we lock him in a box it will work. we could release him only before game time and let him go ape **** on his defender then lure him back into the box with 100 dollar bills. plus he saves money because he wont have a chance to talk to the media and say some stupid **** that he will have to pay fines over.
