Re: I No Longer Like Spreewell

If you can't make 14 million secure your future then something is wrong!!!
Plus he's not worth what he's asking for anyway..

I agree. I can read that whole article an try to see where Spree might be coming from but you completely lose me when you complain because you have to feed your family. That family will never know what it is like to scrape a couple bucks together just to get dinner.

Re: I No Longer Like Spreewell

I understand that but why he got to act like he will be broke if don't get the an extension!!

I dont disagree with you bro. I did a doubletake on that part about feeding his family too. The man has a rim shop, his own shoes, and who knows what other income he has. At least Sam sounded like he wanted to work with the T-Wolves, but Spree seems disgruntled. I think Minny should trade him for another SG because Wally wont get the job done for them.

Re: I No Longer Like Spreewell

The thing I hate about the media is that they never ask the players why did you make this particular statement, or can you clarify what you meant, thus leaving all the fan speculation in the air. Controversy comes all of the time with players because of this.

This could have called into question what he was talking about when he said he needs to feed his family. Then either he'd say why he said it or he may make it known by admitting it or not if he is just out to get traded by insulting the organization.

Re: I No Longer Like Spreewell

yeah but why take $14M if you could get more elsewhere? His agent is responsible for getting feedback from around the league for him. Maybe there is an offer somewhere for more money.

Again guys I agree with you, but the system pimps guys all day long. So its his responsibility to get it while he can.

2. If Sprewell has a career ending injury in the first game of this season and is hurt for life. $14M seems like nothing when compared to rest of your life. If he got hurt, we then all call him crazy because he did not secure a better future for himself. What if he has mounting medical bills later on in life, b/c this is not uncommon for guys once the retire.

Wow in some sense you make it sound like that $14 million will be the last money he has in his pocket. What has he done with the other $50 or so million he's made playing a game. I'm also sure that there is a clause in the CBA that cover guys with career ending injuries. Not to mention that most NBA contracts for the big stars are fully gauranteed, so if he does have two years left on the deal and he blows out his knee in the first game of the 2004 season he'll get paid for not doing a thing next year.

Sprewell has been a headache for years now, so if Minnesota is smart they should just pop another aspirin and enjoy the fun that is #8.

Re: I No Longer Like Spreewell

Good ol Spree!
I'mn actually from his home town (Milwaukee) and went to school with his cousin, so I have a bunch of Spree stories I can share, none of them are good.
One of his pits attacked one of his daughters by bitting her on the side of the head and her ear and he didnt even care about it. They called him and told him about it and he said that it was her fault, he never called back to check on her or come in town to see how she was doing. This was when he played with the Knicks. Even when he came to town to play the Bucks he didnt check on her! He gave his family tickets to the game and his daughter was there (I was sitting one row behind them) she still had scars on her face, ear and head.
Another story is in the offseason he is always at the downtown clubs in Milwaukee. He has taken MANY girls home, one of them including my friends ex-girl. He invites them on his boat where he liquors them and their friends up. I'm sure you can figure the rest out. Spree tries running the city in the offseason by parking his cars right in front of the clubs, sitting out in front with his guys in his car while the club empties drawing even more attention to himself. For those of you who go out alot downtown where ever you're from I'm sure you've seen a few athletes, they go out a lot and holla at all the females. I'm not at all suprised at what happened with Kobe I'm actually suprised that this stuff does not happen more offen. I've seen so many players out it's crazy. We even hung out with Wily Mo Pena (Cincinatti Reds) girl while he was playing the Brewers, guess the players girls need attention just as much as the players themselves!
For the record though *** many as you already said Spree is an @ss.
