Sad day.

Good luck from here on out, Ron.

I thought he had already retired.

Did he play for any NBA team last season?

[JamStone]

How do you retire after essentially not even playing for two seasons?

That's like Oliver Miller announcing his retirement.

.......or like Brian Grant

Has Ron even been under contract since being summarily dismissed by the Spurs in the Spring of '04? How ing humiliating THAT must have been...

"Thanks Ron. We'll pay out your contract, but we don't want or need you around."

[Fred Phelps]

Thank God For Ron Mercers Retirement!

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Well its about ing time. The Spurs should take a look at him he meets the minimum age requirement.

[Kori Ellis]

He actually went to Seattle and worked out there about 2 weeks before training camp started for a few days. They were interested in bringing him back for camp and he complained about wanting a guaranteed spot. Then he failed the physical.

He should've retired 4 years ago because of sucking.

[ATX Spur]

He should've retired 4 years ago because of sucking.

I think his game retired 4 years ago. His body kept on trying to get contracts.

And somewhere in the world, LJ Ellis is weeping.
