How do we have Thomas' Bird rights?
No...I love Horry but him and Finley need to retire.
How do we have Thomas' Bird rights?
Fred Sanford was more mobile than Horry is these days. I'd rather invest the roster spot in someone with a potential future (and/or a present). Horry isn't going to be the difference between us winning or not winning a championship next season.
That's funny that you say that since Horry walks with a fred Sanford shuffle.
They come with the player when traded.
noway...as a player...yes way as a coach...horry will only be more horryble next season regardless of any injuries....he is way to laid back, and you could argue thats what you need during crunch time minutes...id say great words as a coach, but imo horry lacks the hunger we need on that court in Todays NBA, times have changed, and the talent level is high...i think most of us saw it with our own eyes this past season as mostly in the PO's...we dont need a big who sits outside and fires from the arc(and lets be honest, those days are long gone, and i saw it with my own eyes all season) we need someone who is big and can grab rebounds(not tip out), someone that could help timmy the poor guy deserves better and mostly someone who is hungry.....imo horry isnt that guy, no more shining the pine bigs..i dont care how much experience he has

After I posted that, I went back and reviewed that. I thought that the Bird rights went along with a player after he was traded, but I didn't think they stuck with him if he were traded again in that same 3 year period. I was wrong. I can see now that a player keeps the Bird rights as long as he isn't waived or he doesn't change teams AS A FREE AGENT. Thomas has neither been waived, nor has he changed teams as a FA over the past 3 seasons - so you are correct, we do have Bird rights on KT. Sorry for doubting you.
the youth movement starts NOW
If he comes for the min why not take him . The last time he played like against the Lakers he came back with a bang.`
Because he's going to be 38 and has been a total liability on the floor. He's not going to suddenly find the fountain of youth. There are savvyer ways of investing your roster spots.
Dunno if it's been posted yet, but just saw it on Espn.

What are the chances either will pick him up?
How nice, an article to say what I reported over a month ago...
I told y'all Robert said he wasn't going to retire.
Let him go to Houston.
Let him go to Houston... hes been great but he sucks now
Stop me if you heard this one before:
I saw Rob at a northside club tonight and hung out with him for a while. I asked him what he thought of the draft and he said "I like it. It's cold and it beats a bottle."
Anyhooo...Rob has more to offer than what he showed last year. He had a rough year on and off the court and no one wants to go out like that. He played pretty well against the Hornets in game 6 and 7. I'd take him. Plus, that number change looked ed up. He needs his 5 back.
Horry is welcome back. He never got into playing form all year.
I never doubt anything you say about Horry. Your source is the best.
NO!!! Didn't any of you watch how he played in the playoffs!? He has nothing left... just a s of himself now.... heck Pop didn't even play him in game 5 of the LA series... He will be wasted space on the bench that we could be using for someone else like Gist...
Is Horry the only one that doesn't know he can't play anymore?
Precisely. Roster spots should be based on merit, not handed out as lifetime achievement awards. If you didn't know who Horry was and simply watched him out on the court at this point, you'd wonder how he was even in the league.
horry tryin to earn his last paycheck
how about a big off,
you can earn more by being will smiths double
People who think Horry isn't worth a roster spot are off their rocker.
Not a single team in the NBA plays 15-deep. Even if the guy is too old to contribute like he used to on the court, you are not going to find any better example of a playoff-savvy, battle-tested veteran than Robert ing Horry. Especially considering the fact that we are trying to inject some youth into this team, you need veteran presence to put them in the right direction.
Spurs played magical chairs with their 15th spot last season, and you're saying we don't have room for Big Shot?
And I've said this once already, but if you've won seven NBA championships, you deserve a chance to redeem yourself after a bad season.
We already have a roster stacked with playoff-savvy, battle-tested veterans who can serve as a veteran presence for the young guys. We don't need another one, who is a liability on the court. We need good basketball players, not good youth counselors.
