Sprewell is basically demanding to be traded if he doens't get a contract extension. Okay, he's stupid, but he's on my team...
Fantasy Impact
This is going to bad until he either gets a deal or gets a trade. I don't think he's going to play well while unhappy... but if he gets traded to someone like the Hawks (please, Lord, please) his fantasy value will increase dramatically.
Rant
How did the NBA get to the point where unhappy players control everything? Sprewell is making more money than most people make in their life, and he wants more??? I'm sorry, dude, bite the bullet... Especially since he's playing on a "winning" team. For anyone's sake, does it get much better than that? Sure, it's not Bill Gates good, but it ain't all that bad either... I hope the Wolves don't give him an extension, and I hope no one else does either. Teams are so concerned about the salary cap and the luxury tax, they need to make players realize they can't pay them as much as they'd like to think they're worth.
Okay, enough editorializing...
Maybe Spree for Vince? Yeah, send him to the Raptors and kill 2 birds with 1 trade.|||109951375741591773|||Sprewell takes hard line on deal with Wolves
