sprewell has worn out his welcome all over the nba--he has to come to grips that Finley set the market for a back up and there isnt that much money left--guys like payton and sprewell still think that they are going to magically be offered 5-6-7mm$ and while they could be worth the cash, they simply wont get it. I think Payton has more value than Sprewell--if I was the heat, I try to get both to sign for half of the mid level for 2 years. for a club with championship aspirations, they haev a great deal fo youth--they could use sprewell and payton, even at 20 minutes per of the bench

Sounds like he is running out of options, with only the Lakers and Heat left to bid for his services. I don't see him working out well with Kobe but who knows.http://www2.dailynews.com/sports/ci_2996700

17 year old Bynum's role models on his team would include Kobe, Kwame, and Spree. This should be interesting!

if lakers deal, the addition of spree should be a non-factor to bynum when considering the mentoring of the zen master and abdul-jabbar

The Lakers said that Bynum will play sparingly, if at all his first year. He's 17 years old and still growing. I can see him spot duty, but his first year will be about physical mental and fundamental growth, that's why they hired Kareem. He's not going to be getting 20 minutes a night, he's not even going to be in any regular rotation. He could surprise to the upside, but his career starts in 2006-2007

Regardless of how much a player actually plays, his teammates will be an influence on him. Bynum's going to be blessed with teammate role models like Kwame, Kobe, and maybe Spree. For his sake, hopefully Phil will be helpful to him.

Can spree do the triangle offense? Thats the $21 million dollar question?

I can see him going to the lakers but then again I can also see him choking Phil Jackson too.

Well... throughout his career, Sprewell's production/stats/skills have been relatively similar to those of Ron Harper. Harper's became a huge part of the Bulls success because of his ability to play effectively in the triangle offense. Sprewell has similar size and game. Other than the fact that Sprewell is somewhat nuts, it sounds like a good fit to me.

Ron Harper was a TRUE team player, though....He did ANYTHING he had to do for the team and was a class act off the court. Spree, for all his hard work and passion on the court, off the court he is anything BUT Ron Harper.

NYK, like I said....ON the court he was a good player and more often than not, did what he had to do to win....OFF the court was the problem...
