Horry back to the Lakers?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

The Lakers have an open roster spot after trading Chris Mihm to the Grizzles, and haven't ruled out the possibilty of adding a veteran down the stretch.

"We keep that for a reason," Jackson said Friday.

"If there's a hole or something in your team and you feel like you can support that, it's always nice to have that option."

Mikki Moore was released by the Kings this week, while Robert Horry hasn't played in the NBA this season.

"Robert's been contacted by teams, but I'm not saying who I heard it was from," Jackson said.

How would ST react? :wow

[Harry Callahan]

I can't criticize Horry. He did too much here. It would be like what Glen Robinsion did here - riding the coattails in 2005.

[benefactor]

Who cares. Horry is beyond done.

[Chieflion]

Oh? What? Getting paid to sit on the bench (maybe the inactive list) to win the ship?

Five (more) questions with seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry:

Q: I think you're the first One-on-One subject we've ever interviewed twice in one season, but this is the time of year when out-of-work vets are chased hard by contending teams, so we wanted to check in again to see if you've given any more thought to playing this season?

A: No one has called. And to be honest, I have not been out there looking.

Q: I'm asking because I've heard and read a few things lately suggesting that you were getting the itch to come back. Is that true?

A: I always wanted to play [this season]. Just no one wanted me ... or should I say no one I would have wanted to play for.

Q: The Cavs haven't called you?

A: Have not talked to Cleveland.

Q: When we spoke around Thanksgiving, you said that you doubted that we'd see you on the floor this season. You still see it as doubtful?

A: Don't know if I want to play this late [in this season]. A part of me feels it's not right to enjoy the hard work a team has put in to position itself for the playoffs. But [maybe I] would do it if I knew someone on the team.

Q: There were some suggestions in the media recently that the Spurs might try to sign you to a deal just to add you into a trade like Dallas did last season with Keith Van Horn. Did the Spurs ever call you about that?

A: I wish. But no.

[ploto]

But [maybe I] would do it if I knew someone on the team.

Rob obviously knows people on every team for which he would want to play.

[Indazone]

Wouldn't that be cool if Horry came back and got another ring. Just please don't make it the Lakers

[IronMexican]

He could be the 15th man. I don't mind that.

[xtremesteven33]

I wouldnt mind seeing Horry on our bench.

Put him in, in late game situations as a decoy.

[Duncan2177]

Horry is washed up he's got nothing to prove.

[WalterBenitez]

Is he still living in San Antonio?

[DeadlyDynasty]

He could be the 15th man. I don't mind that.

True, sign him up for dirt cheap...while we're at it, drop sun yue and unretire brian shaw from the bench:toast

[Man of Steel]

Sign him.

All we need is a decent shot here and there in the playoffs and he has earned his paycheck.

[lefty]

We are the 2009 NBA Champions

[Baseline]

I don't care how old Horry is, he'll still give us more than freaking Finley.

[baseline bum]

Last season Rob didn't give us much. he had like 2 or 3 good games. Perhaps this little break he has had has given him some nice rest, and that might be what his body needed, but he is still 38 and has not played since last year.

Although Kobe has not won a championship without Robert Horry.

Yeah, but one of those games was game 7 in New Orleans.

[lefty]

yeah, but one of those games was game 7 in new orleans.

+1

[LockBeard]

Horry could defend Bonner, Oberto, and Thomas. Fact.

[Evil Angel]

I wouldnt mind seeing Horry on our bench.

Put him in, in late game situations as a decoy.

Not just a decoy, they would have to pull someone out to guard him as his shot will still be respected by all.
His defense last year was OK. Sign him!

[Holt's Cat]

Yeah, but one of those games was game 7 in New Orleans.

Exactly. He knows the system, knows the team, has the history, etc...

[Kamnik]

He has every right to go and play. Whatever he wants... he is a legend and this is a game afterall.

And as others said... he is pretty much done.

[Whisky Dog]

Bonner has been playing really well offensively and has been at least decent defensively. You don't want to undercut his confidence by pulling an out of game shape Horry out of retirement.

[Whisky Dog]

I don't care if Horry goes to the Lakers. I'd care if he goes to the Lakers and starts throwing in daggers in the playoffs.

[Biernutz]

I like Rob but if you watched him at the end of last year ----http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb270/systime/gas-tank-empty5.jpg

[pawe]

Let him sign anywhere he wants. He's a liability now because of his age. He was hitting clutch shots because he has the confidence and he was actually playing then. GL Big Shot Rob! To me, you're always welcome to SA whatever happens.

Word...dude deserves to play here, or wherever he wants.

Cavs Show Interest In Robert Horry


The Cavaliers are reportedly interested in signing free agent big man Robert Horry for the stretch run.

Horry, 38, hasn't played in the NBA this season. He's a 16-year veteran that would bring valuable championship experience to Cleveland's bench.

[Spursmania]

Big deal---

We'll always love ya Rob, and we know you'd love to come back and play with us as you said in an earlier interview. But that window of opportunity has closed.

[poop]

his Game 5 of the '05 Finals forever exempted Horry from any sort of criticism ever, about anything.

thats said Horry still > Oberto

having him on your team will never hurt you.

[rayray2k8]

Big shot Rog anyone?
Wonder if mason can keep this up in the playoffs when it counts?

[TheManFromAcme]

Rob will always be dear to Laker fans (not talking about the FO). Sorry Spurs fan, but Rob will always be A LAKER. He's "our" son. Let him go wherever he wants. He Knows where his heart's at (and it's not S.A. or Houston).

[SouthTexasRancher]

I like Rob but if you watched him at the end of last year ----

Great sig (Move Over-------->) pic!

:flag::flag::flag::flag:

Your right. I don't live in L.A. anymore. I live right here in San Antonio...aka Taco-Town via a move by your federal government....Uncle Sam. Socal native by the way (Buena Park, Cali) since your inquiring about my birthplace.
Horry is a Laker guy whether you like it or not Mr. Summers Eve, I mean Mr. Vagisil. Houston Rockets? That was a lifetime ago peabrain.

Beat it. :p:
