I don't think he CAN snap out of it...
He simply just isnt that good anymore. In fairness to the guy its not his 
fault that he signed such a ridiculous contract....shouldn't you try to get 
as much as you can?

I think alot of people thought he was going to be another KA..

A talented player who had gotten a bit lazy and out of shape, but who could 
play if properly motiviated. After seeing him play it seems to me that he 
just can't perform. I think he is trying his very best. He lost weight, and 
is alot thinner then say Horace Grant or Shawn Kemp, but he is still worse 
the either of them. Its scary. Its hard to fathom that he ever was an 
All-Star.

I think that if we have to part with both first round draft picks its a good 
deal to send him to the Knicks. Likely we would have to part with K.Brown + 
our next three first round picks to get Spree and get him out of here. Uggh.
