    He's a free agent at the end of the season. He should go to a team who needs a real good point guard and start...

    he's good and will get a chance to start for someone. but if i were him i'd stay with the spurs. speedy has not had a good history of staying healthy, so he should just pick his spots and play full speed when the spurs call on him.

    well i had hoped the suns would of got him but now he is probably out of our reach. he would be an awsome backup to steph but i think that wherever he goes he needs to start

    I think he will stay with the spurs. He'll probably get more playing time now that he has proven he can play real good when he needs to. The spurs will also give him mory money with that great nba finals performance he had.

    i hope he stays with the spurs. he could start, but he'd be a great back up for any team.

    I hope he stays with the spurs but GS would be a better place for him to start, because he won't be getting the job over parker.

    speedy should stay with the spurs, he has proven to popovich that he deserves playing time and b/c of that he will play more though not start, and if he stays with the spurs he will have a shot at another championship

    if he bolts as a free agent he probably wont recieve a starting job anyway only a few teams are that bad at PG that they need an undersized guy like speedy to start for them

    I think he will resign with SA, but if he go's anywhere else, I'd expect it to be either Miami, New York, Toronto, Orlando, or a Golden State without Arenas. (Imagine if they signed Earl Boykins, too. Earl and Speedy?)

    speedy claxton missed 15 games because of injury in 01-02 and missed 52 games because of injury this season. Speedy also missed his whole rookie season because of an injury.

    He should get the job over parker, parker is only fast imo.
