Its great when players know that retiring is their best option. I wish more players would quit when appropriate instead of dragging on their career.

No surprises here. He was terrible last year. Boston would have probably taken him for the minimum, but this is probably a better move. Has Sam Cassell retired yet? Last I heard he got traded to Sacramento or something.

He's an assistant coach for the Wizards.

Not exactly a spectacular career from an individual standpoint (aside from the All-Defensive First Team selections) and certainly one that wasn't without some controversy, but even with those questionable incidents he certainly established himself as a great defender and helped make the Spurs a formidable opponent during the decade. Given his age and his departure from the Spurs, his retirement isn't altogether surprising.

[NovU]

Good for him, it's about time I guess. His production numbers suffered and so did his D last year. Meanwhile, his opponent players should be thanking him for his decision to retire.

I think incidents like that made a lot of people forget that he really was a tough defender without being dirty, but some of those incidents really were dirty and beneath a defender of his calibre.

He was good player, not on offence though. Some corner 3 pointers and good 1-1 defense.
Thanks Bruce.
