    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Miami Herald - According to the San Antonio Express-News, the San Antonio Spurs are interested in signing Alonzo Mourning to a free agent contract. Mourning is still expected to re-sign with the Heat.

    "A number of teams have contacted us,'' Wechsler said. ''I've listened to all the offers.'' When asked whether Mourning would consider playing for another team, Wechsler said, ``I haven't asked him that question.''</div>

    Yeah I heard this on the radio the other day. The Spurs are offering him their entire MLE for his services. Miami can only offer the veteran minimum, so this could get interesting.

    The Spurs with the addition of Zo would be tough down low.

    It would definitely help San Antonio if they were to get Zo, but in reality theres like a 0% chance he would leave Miami. Hes leaning towards retirement, but if he doesn't retire then theres no doubt in my mind that he'll be in a Heat jersey defending his championship.

    If I were Zo I`d play and retire for the team where you had most of your success at. I don`t see him joining the Spurs.

    Alonzo won't leave Miami. Miami loves him, he will bow out there.

    But he would've been a good fit in the Spur rotation, especially behind TD.
