Adding Spree would create a logjam at the swing spot, with Barry, Finley and Gino.
...While the Spurs can only sign Thomas if the Bulls release him, there is one notable swingman still available on the free-agent market: Latrell Sprewell.
Popovich had a good relationship with Sprewell when both were in Golden State. When the Spurs discussed trying to trade for Sprewell three summers ago, assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo said he would have no problem reuniting with the player who choked him.
"He's a fantastic compe or," Popovich said. "We've talked about him, and he's somebody I've thought about for a long time. But at this point we're not sure if taking on another person even makes sense or if he'd even be willing to do something like that."
Horry out: One reason the Spurs might try to add another player is their concern over Robert Horry's health.
Horry's hip was bothering him after Tuesday morning's shootaround, scrapping Popovich's plan to play him against Seattle.
The Spurs think Horry's hip injury is related to the lower abdominal strain that has limited him to four games since Jan. 16.

Spree can play forward..
i forgot all about sprewell. i think he could be a great contributor, but im afraid he'll cause some problems.
Screw Spree, didn't he screw over PJ in Minnesota?
He had said that if he can not find a team willing to pay him what he wanted, he would think about signing with a contender for the vet min later in the season.
They kissed and made up.
then, let's not add another player before trading deadline. If Horry's abdominal strain and hip's not better at the start of the playoffs, sign Spree for a 10-day contract, then if he shows some positive help for the team extend for another 10-days. Just like Big Dogg.
or is this a bad idea?
Yes he did. Let him try and feed his family by other means.
Spree wouldn't roll out of bed for a 10-day.
I really can't see spree signing a 10 day contract, that would be beneath him.then, let's not add another player before trading deadline.

I'm sure a few teams would offer him the vet min. anyway, not sure if the contenders would though. I'm not saying I want him, but if we do sign someone else, Thomas and Spree are not bad choices.
The attractive thing about Spree, is that he would give us someone with an edge, something I think we need.
By edge, I think you mean Idiot
Detroit or Dallas should sign him, they need bench help.
i completley forgot about spree. i wonder what hes doing right now
BTW it was in Golden State where Spree CHOKED P J.
absolutley not!
NO WAY!!!
I would be areiously pissed if Spree came here, he is a piece of that ruined the locker room of Minnesota, and I dont want that here, 10 day contract or not.
3 . . . 2 . . .1 seconds to sequ´s "Lets get Spree, he is a stud!"
spree>>>>>>>>>>>>>barry
Mr. Unemployed can kiss my ass.
Is Spree even trainning? How is his physical condition?
I don't think Spree is a bad guy. Sure, he has a big mouth, overvalues his skills, and choked a coach once. But, he's regarded as an otherwise good teammate who plays hard and contributes.
He was pretty dern good on those TWolves teams.
How much could SPurs offer him, you know ... he have a family
I think he could create troubles inside this team. All people know about his bad behavior and that´s something for any team if they want to get a championship. Besides spurs in that position has a lot of players, barry, manu, finley. I think spurs doesnt need another players.
Considering that the Spurs are carrying only 4 swings, adding Spree wouldn't be a bad idea. I'd prefer Thomas, but Spurs fans need to get off their high horse, for lack of a better term.
Spree and Pop have a mutual admiration society that goes back to Spree's rookie year. Pop's tried to get him in a Spurs uniform for damn near a decade now. Spree's not going to ruin team chemistry, much like adding Glenn Robinson and Nick Van Exel did not.
If Spree's down with taking the vet min and sporadic minutes for the rest of the season, welcome.

I really don't know how I would feel if Spree came to town. It doesn't matter though. The Spurs front office are going to do what they feel will benefit the team. If adding Spree benefits the team, I am all for it. I think we have plenty of bigs that do a good job. I don't think Tim Thomas would do too much for our team. I honestly think that Spree would help now that I think about it.
