    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Nuggets have seen a boatload of free-agent shooting guards end up at other addresses this summer. But after teams passed him by as well, Latrell Sprewell seems high on Denver.

    "I can confirm Latrell has interest and even hopes of playing there," agent Bob Gist said Thursday of Sprewell, who averaged a career-low 12.8 points in 30.6 minutes with Minnesota last season. </div>

    Do you think him coming to the Nuggets is a good idea?

    He is a last resort. He can still shoot and put the ball in the hoop. I think he could have a similiar season in Denver to what he had to 2 years ago in Minnesota.

    I think spree would be a great addition to the Denver Nuggets.
    You guys need a shooter, and Spree would fit in perfectly with the type of plays you guys have.
    The only thing thats confusing is the attitude-problem that Spree has
    but again, Camby is there.

    If he keeps a good attitude that can really work out. He can still shoot and the Nuggets need that.

    Sounds like Spree is close to signing with the Nuggets.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Star Tribune - Sid Hartman of the Star-Tribune is reporting that Denver expects Latrell Sprewell to sign with the club and join his friend and former teammate Marcus Camby.

    Sprewell had a disappointing 2004-2005 season and the Timberwolves showed no interest in re-signing the former member of the Knicks and Warriors.</div>

    Signing a guy like Spree would be ideal for the Nuggets. They need another swingman, Latrell is a player who can slash, shoot, and play some what good defense. Not to mention he knows the ropes of the game, and is a veteran who can step up when you need another scoring option besides Melo and Martin.

    This would be a great signing for the Nuggets, With Spree they've got it all covered their main need was a 2 gaurd and if they sign Spree they dont have to worry about that anymore and the Nuggets are suffecient if not good in all the other spots.
