Pippen may make comeback

Friday, Feb 16, 2007 10:00 am EST

It's not quite the impact of Michael Jordan's famous return to basketball in 1995, but Scottie Pippen is seriously considering a comeback and hopes to play for a contending team in this season's playoffs.
Pippen, who turned 41 on Sept. 25, says he's in better condition and health than at any time in the last five years. And in the Eastern Conference, his veteran presence could change the balance of power and be a major influence in the playoffs.

The question is would the Cavs cut Newble to sign Pippen, and have to pay them both? The only chance that the Cavs would sign Pippen is if they were to pull off a trade where they give up more players than they get back and have to sign someone. If that were the case and Pippen would sign for the minimum I would take him over a D leaguer just for his championship experience. If he could give you 10-20 minutes a night it would be a plus.

There ought to be a rule in sports where once you retire, you can't come back to that sport.

Nothing like a guy wanting to get picked up to get a free ride on a frontrunner to win a ring. :roll1:

Pippen Says Heat Would Be Ideal

17th February, 2007 - 1:35 am

Chicago Tribune -
Scottie Pippen, never shy about stating his opinions and intentions, made it clear he'd love to play for the Miami Heat .

"I'm looking at teams like Miami, Cleveland, Dallas, San Antonio. I feel there are a few teams I could help," Pippen said.

Sitting at a nearby table later on, Kobe Bryant said he'd call Pippen and ask him to consider the Lakers.

"I'd like an opportunity to help a team contend for a championship," Pippen said. "I'd like to go play with Shaq. That would be the ideal place. He's probably the best in the game, he and Dwyane Wade. Teams in the East still are bunched up, but [the Pistons and the Heat] will be fighting it out in the Eastern finals.

"I don't see anyone really a threat to them. Indiana is going in another direction, the Bulls still are lacking that inside presence."

Though O'Neal said he hadn't heard about any Pippen interest in Miami, Wade was excited.

"I'm already playing with [Gary] Payton and Shaq; Scottie and Michael are two guys I used to play with on video games," Wade said. "To add Scottie to the mix, that would be crazy. It would be a dream."
