Milwaukee’s favorite Latrell Sprewell apparently really does need money to feed his family. He’s fallen on hard times as of late, failing to pay his bills on time. Everything we’ve seen in the past few months seems to indicate that he’s broke.
Of course, he could have $21 million from the Timberwolves at this point if he would have accepted their extension instead of randomly retiring after stating “I’ve got my family to feed.”
That $21 million would probably have been plenty to pay off the $1.3 million he owed on his boat (now something like $500,000), and to pay the mortgage on his $400,000 home in River Hills.
Latrell, if you’re reading this, we’d love to bring you on board to join the Fresh Coast Sports team. We realize you’re 37, and your playing days are over, but we think you’ve got an exceptional amount of insight on player-coach relations and contract negotiating strategy.
How about it Mr. Sprewell?
(As a side note, Andrew Bogut’s comments over the summer about NBA players blowing through money may have been inspired by bumping into Latrell on the Milwaukee party circuit.)

I would think that the proceeds from his Spinner invention would keep those kiddies fed.

this is all nothing but a scheme engineered by his lawyers to protect his assets from an overzealous palimony suit alleged by his baby’s mama. give it a few months…there’s no way he blew through that kind of ching livin’ in Milwaukee.
