We all know he has beef with ainge and pj brown, but if he signs with us, that can all be forgiven

He is not the leader posey was, is a tweener(6'10 but plays sf), but man he would be a realy good addition right about now(though he is over 38 he is like pj brown and has an athletic body type naturally). He has how many rings? Just his presence would boost the ego of everyone in the team right about now. Plus he plays a sound game, plays with an attitude(will fight if it comes down to it), and is a 3 point master

Tonight cleveland killed us mainly because we couldn't stop them on defense nor answer back with any big shots.

I rather have a kg, horry, pp, ray allen, rondo lineup during crucial situations. (not perk)

I think Horry would be a good idea... he seems like a good fit.

But how's his game held up? Didn't he retire after last season? Has he been staying in shape? There are a lot of questions.

Also, I don't really understand not wanting Perk on the floor in key situations. He brings rebounding, good post defense, shot blocking, and a nice touch around the rim to the court. Unless its a free throw shooting situation, I think he's a great guy to have out on the floor.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Horry has seven rings and is the only
non-Celtic who has that many rings.

I echo R_i_b's sentiments here.

These are old news, and frankly i don't know if they are legit. We know Cassell talked the C's about Horry some weeks ago, but we also know that Horry has some history with Danny...

Horrys done...and just wondering what beef he has with PJ Brown?
Also, Horry couldnt carry Poseys Jock strap, hes the opposite of pre-game man hugs and motivational talks

Horry is not done imo. There was no big news that he was going to retire and he is not a star but it would be big news still

Horry would really help playing the PF spot when really he is a sf. He would open up the floor(and get their pf to step up closr to the key), get the passing on the outside the key going(missing dearly after we lost pose), doesn't ahve to play crazy one on one defense and just understand how to rotate properly.

He is a 7 time champ so he will catch on quick.

I heard that san antonio, houston and boston are teams he is interested in playing with probably after the all star break.

I don't think he is very happy with san antonio since they didn't resign him or shown him any interest to this past off season. Plus his mins become basically non existant. Houston i see a possibility but once again he has to fight with brent barry to play.

He wants to play, and  he plays best in crucial moments. We will play him in those situations he thrives on
