Where is Latrell Sprewell????

by **End Boss** on Thu Oct 06, 2005 1:02 pm

he'll sign eventually.. even if he wants the $$$.. because a year on FA list won't do nething for his market value

by **boconcio** on Thu Oct 06, 2005 2:47 pm

i'm sure he will sign somewhere, even Vin Baker has a job in this league!

not anymore, the rockets are on the verge of buying him out

by **Amphatoast** on Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:19 pm

wow this is sad...still no one signed him. I guess he is going to be signed mid-season maybe?

by **Anthony15** on Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:54 pm

i read an article in the denver post, they want to sign him, but then the nuggets would have a stacked team of SG's!

is there a chance that he'll retire?

Then how will he feed his children???

The man is just a head case, a very skilled head case, but a head case none-the-less. If someone will sign him, they will be faced with many problems and have to be willing to sort them out... He isn't the easiest person to be around...

I'm also surprised he still hasn't latched on somewhere given all the supposed interest in him. He's probably still asking too much, with the only places he's willing to accept paycut to go to not in need of his services.

Yeah but Kobe is so badass he makes them.

by **Amphatoast** on Sat Oct 29, 2005 1:11 pm

damn any rumors at least of where he could end up? this is really sad considering so many teams could probably use his service

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Sat Oct 29, 2005 1:13 pm

This is very suprising, I mean he has a bad attitude but still he's got skill.

by **J@3** on Sat Oct 29, 2005 1:17 pm

Unless he's still demanding 7 mill a year

7 mil? I'm starting to think that he's serious about the statement he made regarding feeding his family.

Perhaps a sign and trade Sprewell for Vin Baker and Bob Sura.

Spree doesnt belong to the Timberwolves anymore so they cant sign and trade him for anybody at least for after a month or so baring he signs a new contract.

Spree should just shut up and play this season, maybe he can spend some time with the Hawklings or Magic.

by **Riot** on Sun Oct 30, 2005 1:58 am

Timberwolves still hold bird rights on Sprewell, they would be able to do a sign and trade still.

They could offer Sprewell a max contract if they wanted, even though they are over the cap.

I hope he rots in his car shop. He is the reason the NBA has an image problem.

by **Its_asdf** on Sun Oct 30, 2005 11:40 pm

The regular season is almost here, and he still hasn't signed with a team yet. :shake:

I don't get it, is he that self-absorbed or what?

Well you cant blame him, I mean compared to what other players have done Spree's feed my family rant is harmless. There's a much bigger circle of players that are the cause of the NBA image problem of current.

chocking coach he meant

Uh huh, so didnt Michael Jordan make the league look bad I mean he was no angel...he punched a teammate, wasnt the best of husbands(or he didnt select really good women to get hitched with) and now he's admitted to a gambling problem and Jordan is still pretty much a league image, so why dont we take shots at him?

Just like Kobe gets picked on(I never pick on him for his rape, just for his personality) you always get some scape goats....I mean c'mon who wouldnt want to choke the hell outta Jeff Van Gundy, dork. :lol:

And I doubt he was referring to the choking incident, thats almost forgotten now all Spree's jokes are the feed my family oriented.

Ron Artest punched people in the crowd, yet people have mixed reviews about him yet for Spree theres no two sides to it? ...I dont like Spree as a player or person but he deserves some backing up just like Kobe etc get.

by **Riot** on Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:00 am

Sprewell didn't choke Van Gundy.

by **Jackal** on Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:00 am

You don't know which coach Spree choked & you call him a dork? :lol:

It was P.J. Carlesimo while at GS, dork.

Edit:

By the way, you bring up Michael Jordan's bad sides, but I think Spree's pretty much overshadows MJ's. Besides, MJ's game overshadowed his not so well side. Sprewell on the other hand, his off the court antics make more news than his game does.

Regardless of what he accomplishes in basketball, Latrell Sprewell will live in infamy as the player who attacked and threatened to kill his coach. During a Golden State Warriors practice in 1997, Sprewell snapped, choking P.J. Carlesimo before returning about 20 minutes later to continue the assault.

In the autumn of 2002, Sprewell was in trouble again, this time for reporting to camp with a broken shooting hand without having informed the organization.

Sprewell's dark side was evident even before his attack on Carlesimo. In 1995, Sprewell scrapped with Warriors teammate Jerome Kersey and returned to practice carrying a two-by-four. He reportedly threatened to return again, with a gun.

In 1998, Sprewell spent three months under house arrest for a reckless driving incident in California in which he forced another driver off the road.

In the spring of 1998, after his punishment had been reduced, Sprewell sued the Warriors and the NBA for the $6.4 million he would lose in salary.

In October 2002, Sprewell explained his broken hand by saying he slipped on his yacht and the injury occurred trying to brace his fall. The New York Post reported that Sprewell took a swing at a guest on his yacht and missed, hitting a wall.

As you can see, Spree is more of a violent person. ( I mean, choking a coach, returning 20 minutes afterwards to punch him, threatening to shoot a team-mate & trying to drive someone off the road hardly compare to womanising & gambling, what say you? ) Perhaps this is the reason he's not such a good image for the league?

Just perhaps.

Sprewell may be the lattest of a not-so-short list of talented players that were exiled from the nba due to their off-court antics: Roy Tarpley, Sugar Ray Robinson, Ceballos, Isiah Rider, Tony Dumas...

by **Amphatoast** on Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:13 am

Well Sprewell is back in the news.

The agent for unsigned swingman Latrell Sprewell called Heat GM Randy Pfund and reiterated Sprewell would like to play here. 'Randy said, `Let's keep in touch,' '' agent Robert Gist said. The Heat has shown no interest in Sprewell or ex-Heat SF Qyntel Woods, cut by Boston.

doesn't look likely, they have walker to worry about already...dont need anther cancer

With forward Grant Hill out for a month or more, the Magic should be calling currently unemployed swingman Latrell Sprewell, who might be a nice, rather inexpensive addition who could help them put points on the scoreboard. Sprewell has averaged 18.3 points per game over his career.

that seems pretty likely (Y)

Orlando is a perfect fit for right now with hill out.

But if he did go to Miami that would be scary and probably best ever on paper. a Line up of
O'Neal/Mourning
Haslem/Walker
Posey/Anderson
Wade/Sprewell
J Williams/Payton

that 2nd squad could start and kick some ass. 4 former all stars off the bench? 4 who average over 16 for there career? damn that is insane

by **Its_asdf** on Mon Oct 31, 2005 7:53 am

I don't get why people are calling Walker a "cancer". Yes, he does take a lot of terrible shots, but attitude-wise he seems in check and he's not on the same level of as Sprewell. With Wade and Shaq getting the most shots, I think Walker will know his role.

Where is Latrell Sprewell????
