Warren2ThaG Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nba/players/65/306.jpgHarpring to meet to decide future"With fall camp less than three weeks away, Matt Harpring's status for the 2009-10 season remains in a to-be-determined category. That could soon change. A couple of months after publicly admitting that he wasn't sure if his banged-up body could handle another grueling season — something he privately told Jazz officials at the end of his personally painful 2008-09 campaign — the 11-year NBA veteran plans on discussing his options with front-office personnel early next week. "I haven't talked to the Jazz yet," Harpring, who makes his offseason home in the Atlanta area, said by telephone Sunday. But that fateful discussion is forthcoming. Harpring will return to Utah later this week and expects to sit down with the Jazz early next week to discuss his future with the franchise. The possibility of him not playing next season — for which he is under contract to make $6.5 million — remains an option under consideration. Just like it did earlier this summer when the small forward, who's logged seven seasons in a Jazz jersey, admitted he'd "love to play" but wasn't sure if that would be possible because of medical concerns. Because of health issues, Harpring added that he was bouncing back and forth in his mind between "thoughts of playing and ... thoughts of not playing."---http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705328340/Harpring-to-meet-to-decide-future.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Years Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 1 more year then a retirement I think would fit him the most. He's a great defender but he's just old at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted October 5, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well, his knees and his ankle problem are lingering even through the preseason. He's going to be re-evaluated in six weeks, I believe, so someone must be trying to keep him around. Erick, did you give him a call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
