    Charles Barkley put it in perspective best with this quote about Rasheed Wallace feeling him and the other nba players are being exploited:

    "What Rasheed said may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard in 20 years in the NBA. People who work for huge corporations and aren't making any money, those are the people being exploited."

    Charles lays it down on Wallace! LOL

    I think the clincher for me was when Rasheed threw the basketball across the practice court and left a rookie teammate (I believe) writhing on the floor in agony, as Rasheed and Bonzi went off giggling.

    How do you exploit a mean-spirited punk by giving him a contract culminating in 17 million per year?

    I just had a dream that Sheed was traded for Luke Walton and picks.

    You have to realize that Bill will always be a UCLA Bruin, and Portland Trailblazer first.

    That's where his basketball loyalties lie.

    I don't think he'd be ranting this hard on Rasheed if he wasn't playing for Portland... he knows how much trading him could help that team (esp. since Randoplh is the MAN now).

    Wow, that was pretty strong. I like Bill Walton, and I happen to agree with every word he wrote. One thing I am wondering a bit about, though, is, if Rasheed is such an ass, why is Mobley friends with him?

    Anyone actually take Bill Walton seriously anymore? It was funny at first but now he is just ridiculous.
