I thought he had already retired.

Did he play for any NBA team last season?

How do you retire after essentially not even playing for two seasons?

That's like Oliver Miller announcing his retirement.

Has Ron even been under contract since being summarily dismissed by the Spurs in the Spring of '04? How fucking humiliating THAT must have been...

"Thanks Ron. We'll pay out your contract, but we don't want or need you around."

Well its about fucking time. The Spurs should take a look at him he meets the minimum age requirement.

He actually went to Seattle and worked out there about 2 weeks before training camp started for a few days. They were interested in bringing him back for camp and he complained about wanting a guaranteed spot. Then he failed the physical.

He should've retired 4 years ago because of sucking.

I think his game retired 4 years ago. His body kept on trying to get contracts.
