<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sprewell likely gone: If you were listening to sports talk radio Thursday, you might have heard discussion that free agent Latrell Sprewell is set to return the Timberwolves. In fact, the opposite is true. He likely is on his way out. The genesis of the Spree-is-coming-back discussion came from a report in the Rocky Mountain News that stated Sprewell's agent, Bob Gist, said the "writing is on the wall" that Sprewell would return. But there was a missing word in the story. The report should have read that Sprewell probably will not return, according to the beat writer who covers the Denver Nuggets.
