I know he's been out of the league for a few seasons, but there have been reports that he wants to return for the 2008-2009 season. Despite the fact that the Knicks gave him an inflated contract years ago, the guy can play. Thoughts?

wow....just wow.
I have just sifted through thread after thread of "hey why don't we sign this guy," and 9 times out of 10 he sucks. At least Allan Houston has proven himself. I'm assuming we could get him for the bare minimum. Not a bad guy to bring off the bench if you ask me.

Wouldn't mind giving Houston a training camp invite. His knees are probably still shot but who knows. Plus it'd be nice to make Finley work for a roster spot . . .
Yeah about 9 years ago when he still had knees. Lets sign Shawn Kemp too!!! He was awesome and still wants to play.Quote:

No it'd have to be a totally unguaranteed contract to be worth it. 99% chance he's finished but there's a tiny chance his knees have rested enough in the last five years or whatever that he can be a 15th man emergency shooter.Quote:

With that being said id rather have mighty mouse back for another episode of the (FO just punked their spurs fans), then even thinking about signing houston.

Those of you that know me well enough to know what I think of Sprewell understand the point of the above sentence.
No.
I guess I would agree with timvp about the training camp invute, maybe it would give him a chance to show other teams he can still do it, but I wouldn't want him on this team.
Sure....why not??? Wheel his old ass out there.
Kemp just signed overseas today.

GOSH. There's nothing wrong with Houston,but he's got FUCKING ZERO CHANCE TO SURVIVE in Western Conference. Last time he's hanging out with Knicks. He sucked from bench,if ever. We actually talkiing about Knicks.....how suck is that
let's also get vin baker and stacey augmon.
an invite for what? why on earth would anyone in the nba want to invite houston to training camp unless it was for a speech :lmao i honestly dont think the spurs are in that much trouble, where they have to call and say...........houston we have a problem. i completely disagree with timvp on this one and anyone who even thinks about an invite to training camp :nopeQuote:

He will not come here... He's playing ball against kids now.

Sup, brother Admiral?
I'd definitely give A.H. a look in training camp. There aren't many folks out there that were better shooting the rock.
The guy at half court is holding a mic. Is this the And1 tour's D-league?Quote:

Hi, Chopper! I hope you are doing great! :hatQuote:
