What about Sprewell?
I know he's been out of the dance for a while, but there isn't much too choose from. He's a former teammate of KG's. Maybe he'll finally be willing to take cheap money to play with a team. Afterall he does need to feed his kids.

What the Celtics have to offer isn't enough to feed his family.

Come on now, that's a stretch and a half.
Besides, he might choke away our championship hopes

Re: What about Sprewell?
I'd pay to see him choke Kobe or Lebron. Think about it though, he's only 37 or 38 yrs old. Its only been 3 seasons since he played. I'd rather take a gamble with him then a rookie.

hahaha, that's the only thing he'll be good for. I never thought I'd say this, but I rather see Cassell trying to play whatever position Spree would play than see Spree on this team. He's done. How about Bill Russell? He's only 75.

Re: What about Sprewell?
^^Honestly I'd rather have a 75 yr old Russ than Spree...
When I first read this thread title, my initial response was "what about him"?

With how poor he is having been paid peanuts, he must be living under a bridge somewhere. No way he can be in shape.

Sprewell was a great player. It's a shame he ended his career the way he did.

Forever defined by two incidences...the choking of his coach, and the "got to feed my family" idiotic quote. Also the hideous cornrow mullet...
Spree sucks!

Are you trying to say the C's need someone to choke a certain flopper on the Cav's ?
To choke him so long until the refs stop him from flopping all over the court ?
If you are I say You sir are a genius......









ps....I am sorry for such bad thoughts........

If we could get Spree simply to choke Varajackass, I would do it!

I found this a while ago when I was searching for his whereabouts........... I got a kick out of it I hope you guys enjoy it too.
Nancy Pimental: …aaaaaaand we’re back with the exciting conclusion of “Win Latrell Sprewell’s Money”! You’re up against a tough opponent today, Latrell - how are you feeling?
Latrell Sprewell: (sitting in isolation booth) I keep telling you - I don’t know what is going on here! Why do you keep saying people are trying to win my money?
Nancy: Latrell, we asked Paulo, the actuary and amateur dog breeder from Portland, Oregon, ten questions. He answered five of them correctly. That means you’ve got to get at least six questions right in order to hang on to your $5000.
Sprewell: (frantic) But I don’t have $5000 to lose! I mean…is this even legal?
Nancy: I’m going to ask you the same ten questions I asked Paulo. You have sixty seconds - are you ready?
Sprewell: NO! Are you deaf, woman? I…AM…BANKRUPT! Don’t you people read the papers?
Nancy: Let’s begin.
(Clock starts ticking)
Nancy: Norman Mailer once referred to this other American literary giant as a “sell-out to best sellerdom”.
Sprewell: I…what the…how…
Nancy: Incorrect. Hurricane Katrina was what category of hurricane when it reached landfall in New Orleans?
Sprewell: (struggling with door to booth) You all locked me in here! This is false imprisonment!
Nancy: Incorrect. This international aid organization is the only three-time recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sprewell: You know what? You come try and collect! You can’t take blood from a stone.
Nancy: Incorrect. Name three of the four elements that make up over 99% of the human body.
Sprewell: F*** YOU, NANCY!
Nancy: Incorrect…(slyly) that is, not until you buy me a drink first. (makes goofy face at camera)
Nancy: With a $1.7 million price tag, what is the most expensive street-legal production car in the world?
Sprewell: The Bugatti Veyron.
Nancy: Correct.
Sprewell: (rubs temples) I used to own four of them.
Nancy: What current NBA basketball player has won seven championship titles despite never once making an all-star team?
Sprewell: Oh! What’s his name? I went to college with the guy…Robert Horry!
Nancy: Correct. In 2006, what U.S. state lifted its forty-year-old ban on tattoo parlours?
Sprewell: Hell, I don’t know…one of those bible-loving, tornado states. Um - Oklahoma?
Nancy: Correct.
Sprewell: What? Well…alright! Let’s do this thing!
Nancy: What famous American film director is the subject of the largest number of wildly inaccurate impressions?
Sprewell: Woody Allen.
Nancy: Correct. One more to tie.
Sprewell: Come on! I need this! No m*****-f****** whammies!
Nancy: How many kids do you have?
Sprewell: Four.
Nancy: Incorrect.
Sprewell: (winces) Oh, right. Denise.
Nancy: Last question - what is the current minimum wage in the United States?
Sprewell: …
Nancy: Three seconds, Latrell, this is for the tie.
Sprewell: Okay, okay. Um - four hundred an hour?
(Buzzer sounds)
Nancy: Ooh, no, I’m sorry, that is incorrect. But that means that Paulo! (crowd erupts) You have just won $5000 of Latrell Sprewell’s money!
Paulo: Oh…oh my god!
Nancy: Congratulations, good sir! What are you going to do with all your moolah?
Paulo: Oh, wow! Well, jeez, I’ve got a big pile of student loans, so I think this money is going straight towaaAAAACCCCHHHHH! GUNNGGGGHHHHH!
Sprewell: (choking Paulo) Give me back my money, Paulo!
Nancy: Latrell Sprewell - choking for the second time today!
(Audience laughs and applauds)
Nancy: G’night, everybody!
