Sprewell is lame and shouldn't be able to play in the NBA anymore.
So you respect Pop, right ? If that's his call then....you gotta respect it.

i hate his hair
Yeah the girl look along with Hudson and Fortson. They're all lame!
They had that piggy tails look the whole year, Sprewell, Hudson, Fortson. That was lame as and just made me laugh.

The big problem isn't that spree said he needed to feed his family. He said "why should i help them win a championship if there not going to help me?" Then proceeded to suck the rest of the year.
Glen Taylor is being an ass to them? Please explain. Last i checked these were two old guys that had one great year. Sam had another TWO years on his deal, sprewell one. As good as Spre was last year he was still overpaid. But he was being an ass? That "ass" just did the best thing he could have done and not extended either of there contracts. The guy had to sign for some serious dough to keep a number of his own players there that summer already. Lemme guess, Holt, with his LOOOONNGG history of opening the bank, would have extended these contracts when he has to have his arm twisted to to sign an 11th hour deal with one of the best young PG's in the league?
Idiot
Sprewelll probably would be pretty good on the spurs, for one year at least. He's not dumb enough to screw things up twice in consecutive years. Remember, he slid over to play Small Forward in NY and hated it but still did it. So those that think he'd NEVER take a backseat have to consider that. His physical skills REALLY have taken a turn for he worse though. His most frequent shot is the running leaner, very erratic. While he is among the all time leader for 3's, he doesn't shoot them at a very high clip. As much as his past his known for his defense. Realistally he'd be your 4th or 5th best SWINGMAN defender.
The guy has more heart than anyone else on the spurs. The problem is that if he doen'st get a coach who can channel that your ed.
I didn't think it was worth the risk to sign Glenn Robinson either though so what do i know.
Mchale has said he'd be interested in signing Spree back. I doubt he even throws a number out at him though.
maybe pop can change him and he can become a good guy, and then you may learn to love him

Huh?
Not any more. If Sprewell wasn't good enough 4 years ago whats the point to get him now when he is on the rapid decline.
dont want spree to be chokin up pop!
Its not a matter of getting him cheap. He is going to want minutes and his game is on the rapid decline. Now is the time to be getting rid of him not getting him.

His game is very physical, which means the whole thing is in decline, and he's not even a top shooter, like Big Dog. His shot is average at best.
It wasn't until late january that he had completed a dunk.
I don't know who actually bothers to track that but they mentioned that in a broadcast after he did it.
RACK EM!
I think that Sprewell misses the most in his is he used to be very athletic but has lost alot in the last 5 years. He was great in 99 but has lost it.
I have a feeling that this may be the guy the Spurs are targeting. I know it isn't a popular move, but knowing how CIA Pop works, it wouldn't surprise me.
Pop and Spree supposedly have a father-son relationship. Pop has tried to trade for Spree countless times since he took over running the Spurs. I don't think that he's all of a sudden not going to have any interest in him. If he at one point was willing to trade Sean Elliott for him and at another point considered trading Manu Ginobili for him, Pop would have to ponder getting Spree at half the price of the MLE.
Would Spree fit on the Spurs? That's a tough question. I'd think that he'd just duplicate Barry and Devin. None of the three are legit small forwards and would all be fighting for the same playing time.
The good things about him are he always raises his level of play in the playoffs and off the bench, he'd probably be a very good energy type player. He's turning 35 but he's been an athletic freak and played big minutes his whole career, so a 15-20 minute role would probably be a walk in the park for him.
I'm not convinced either way on this move, but with all the talk about Evans, Jacobsen, JJones and the amnesty players, the one player that I haven't heard connected with the Spurs (or anyone else for that matter) is Spree. That means that either the Spurs aren't looking at him or he's going to be signed soon under the radar.
P.S.
Also, if Pop wants to help PJ get a job, bringing Spree onboard would probably but an end to that saga. PJ could finally live it down and go out next season and get a head coaching job.
what? when did pop consider trading Manu? I'm pretty sure Pop said the rumors are false and manu was untouchable.
i like his hair but i don't like him
Maybe, maybe they did 10 years ago or whenever it was... even longer than that. More a "I don't mind this guy" kind of relationship. But I'd think Pop is a smart enough guy to recognize a washed up player that doesn't help his team in any way, and who has significant negative aspects to lead to a very big "NO."Pop and Spree supposedly have a father-son relationship.

Yeah and maybe pigs will comence flying ought his ass so he can feed his hungry children on something less than the MLE.
According to The Oregonian, "Portland will have salary room once it exercises the league's new amnesty clause, which allows a team to waive a player and not have the salary enter into luxury tax arithmetic. This means Derek Anderson is gone... The Blazers still would have to pay Anderson but would get to subtract his $9 million salary from the luxury tax cap. Right now, the Blazers' payroll is at $58 million. If the luxury tax cap comes in at $60 million again, it would leave little room for hiring free agents. But waiving Anderson would put Portland at $49 million, and the Blazers could sign two players to $5 million contracts and stay under the cap. Jasikevicius should be in this price range. Waiving Anderson is critical to reinvigorating the roster. Free agents Damon Stoudamire and Richie Frahm will not be back, nor will Nick Van Exel."
So question, "Which of these two AHs, Latrell Sprewell or Derek Anderson, would Spur fans LEAST likely want to see sporting the Black and Silver?"

" " No!
Sprewell is one of Pop's favorites in the league. It was only a couple summers ago that he tried to get him (for like the fifth time).Maybe, maybe they did 10 years ago or whenever it was... even longer than that. More a "I don't mind this guy" kind of relationship.
True, at one point the Spurs thought they had a deal that summer that involved Malik in a three team trade that would have brought Sprewell to San Antonio. It wasn't until Minnesota got involved with the expiring contract of Terrell Brandon did the Spurs get pushed out of that multi-team trade.
I wonder where they got the info that the Blazers' payroll is at $58M right now. I see it as $49M (including Van Exel) plus Martell Webster and Jarrett Jack's salaries (another ~$5M) -- so that would only be $54M and they wouldn't be in luxury tax territory. That would mean they couldn't use the amnesty clause to waive anyone.According to The Oregonian, "Portland will have salary room once it exercises the league's new amnesty clause, which allows a team to waive a player and not have the salary enter into luxury tax arithmetic.

They could still waive Van Exel and his salary wouldn't count against the salary cap or the luxury tax because his salary ($12.7M) isn't guaranteed.
