no way.....
I am sure this now will get all these sad Maverick fans in an uproar. They will start telling us how this will now put them over the top of the spurs!
Maybe the 300LB Kemp will sit on all of our starting 5 and take them out of commishion!?
no way.....
Pretty funny if it's true.
they couldn't use him for the playoffs unless the NBA granted them that injury exception...
The story has been in the NBA forum all day. I believe it's true.
Supposedly he weighs 260 these days.
Why couldn't they use him in the playoffs? He hasn't played in the NBA this year.
I think he is available to be on the playof roster aswell.
Good luck with that pick up.
i read this earlier, i quoted it wrong but they can't sign him unless they are granted an exception:
The Mavericks may add another player after Keith Van Horn broke his right hand. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the team pe ioned the league Saturday night for a hardship exception to sign a free agent.
According to the newspaper, the team checked into Shawn Kemp, who has reportedly slimmed down in an attempt to make a comeback and met with coach Avery Johnson recently in Houston.
Ahh okay. They have 15 players already. So they can't sign him at all unless they get the exception.
Why do I just not see Dallas as a "hardship" exception.
Ya the waiver is to allow them to have 16 players...nothing to do w/ playoff eligibility.
I live in Houston and somebody called in to our sports line live and said Kemp had been in town and was playing ball at the Fondren Center. The guy played against Kemp and said he is in great shape, had lost a lot of weight and was down to 250 and was very mobile.I am sure this now will get all these sad Maverick fans in an uproar. They will start telling us how this will now put them over the top of the spurs!

If any of you don't know, the Fondren is the home away from home for all basketball players in the area includeing the pros and often you'll see visiting pros on the court as well. Ya gotta have game to get in one of these scrimmages.
If what the guy was saying, maybe Kemp has cleaned up his act like he's been saying--but he's still 34 o4 35 years old.
It's over. Kemp is a beast. I'm expecting 20 and 10 from him. Oh wait we are talking 2006. .
This move would have been great 10 years ago.It's over. Kemp is a beast. I'm expecting 20 and 10 from him. Oh wait we are talking 2006. .
Ten years ago, this would have been huge. Now, he's huge. [/rimshot]
Thanks, I'll be here through Thursday. Try the veal.
Dude could still board when he was pushing maximum density.
We should've given him a call.
Chump isn't feeling well obviously.Dude could still board when he was pushing maximum density.
We should've given him a call.
If I'm Dallas, I definetly do this deal.
If he can give them 10-12 minutes a game in the playoffs he will be a big benefit to them. If he can contribute 15-20 watch the out. Alot obviously depends on his conditioning/weight/mobility...etc etc. but from all accounts during the last month or so, he is in much better shape than when he retired.
Him coming aboard, is not to be a savior, but to be a pest to opposing bigs. If I'm SA, I'm not real happy about this. He can bang w/ Rasho, Nazr and TD all night. He would add alot to their interior D.
His addition doesn't take away from SA being favored.....but it's a big experienced body, a veteran who can still put some moves on the likes of Nazr and Rasho. And he should immedaitly help their rebounding. I'd rather not face him in round 2 If I didn't have to.
What harm would a phone call have done? You can't argue the rebounding, that was statistical truth..
How many children does he have in Dallas by now?
Why the come back? Is he getting behind in his child support payments?
How could he not be? He could start his own ing country by now...Why the come back? Is he getting behind in his child support payments?
No thanks.What harm would a phone call have done? You can't argue the rebounding, that was statistical truth..
Id rather lose with good guys, than sell out and sign heads like Shawn Kemp.
Former Sonics' forward Shawn Kemp is the all-time NBA career leader in illegitimate offspring, having fathered seven children, each by a different woman. Larry Johnson fathered five children by four women, Charles Barkley--in his typically contrarian fashion--fathered three by five women, and Dennis Rodman fathered two and mothered three.
Kobe Bryant was well on his way towards establishing the "double-double"--ten children by ten different women--before his philandering career was cut short by allegations of rape in Colorado
