    Do you guys think he will find himself on an NBA roster this season? I can see a team in need of some offense giving him a second chance.

    I was surprised he didnt get a team last year. He is still a very good player, and could start on a lot of teams.

    I dont know. Maybe a team that really needs some offense might sign him but I don't see it happening. I think he should just retire. Like BCB i

    Yeah I think so. Someone will probably take a chance on him. It depends if he's working out and ready to go though..

    Maybe the Hornets will pick him up. that would be a good pick up because it fills a need.

    What need would he fill for the Hornets? If JR Smith is not a Byron Scott guy, Spreewell sure isn't.

    I don't see him going anywhere. Bad attitude, getting older, and I don't see hmi being as good a player as a few years ago

    I think Sprewell is done. He's well past his prime and his attitude problems won't help. I loved him at New York and thought he should've gotten a chance last year but I just don't see him helping a team too much anymore. If he takes the veteran's minimum and doesen't mind having a small role then it could be a good signing for a team in dire need of more depth.

    I don't think Spree should be awarded a deal. In the last year and a half or so he's been picky and greedy about his NBA situation. He still thinks he deserves a guarenteed contract, and quite frankly, he doesn't at all. I do think he will eventually come running back to the NBA.Afterall, he has to be able to feed his family right? [​IMG]

    Spree to Dallas? How would that help them at all?I think Spree to New York would be the perfect fit... not from a team perspective. Just because he'd be just like all the other 500 selfish guards they have and Isiah would give him as much as he wants. [​IMG]

    There are alot of bad players on rosters. With this guy, you never know. He had a great season in Minny not too long ago so im sure a team might take a risk on him. A team in need of a scorer might give him a shot

I dont see him asking for a huge deal. I bet he just wants to sign with an NBA team.

    I thought Sprewell would have been playing last season, but he asked for to much money. I think he can still play. So I would like to have him back in the NBA playing.Not sure what team though. Last season I wanted him as a Sixer with AI. But now since AI is leaving, and we are rebuilding there is no point for Spree to come here.
