    F that guy. The ultimate punk. I guess no one caught him yapping all game in Detroit, constantly calling Scola "garbage". I guess everyone missed him beaning one of his players (Boumtje-Boumjte) in the head and running away giggling with Bonzi Wells. Ask KellyDwyer about Wallace.

    i would love to pick up sheed. He would really complement yao well and he's a good passer also. He can also play the 4 and the 5 if needed.

    I think we should focus more on long term solutions as opposed to one year rentals.

    I suppose they're thinking he might take MLE $ and we won't use MLE on Von considering our draft picks?

    Wut? haha...ha...ha...sorry choked myself

    You do know Detroit only signed Billups for 11mil a year, and that was considered a big contract, right? and Hamilton for 11mil a year, Prince for roughly 10mil a year, right?
    and What makes you think that Sheed thinks someone will give him 15mil? Either he is crazy or you are. And I'm gona compromise here to say you both are crazy :cool:

    Honestly, our forwards our the strengths of our team. Scola + Landry and Artest + Battier is more than sufficient at the forwards, and we have them at very reasonable contracts.

    I also think our team relies too heavily on the 3 pointer at times. Rasheed wouldn't help that cause. Scola and Landry are very good at hitting the mid range shot, so I'm not worried about scoring/shooting from the 4 spot.

    We need a play maker and a back up center more than anything, and possibly a starting caliber shooting guard (with size) if Tmac is going to miss a lot of time or is traded.


    IF he is willing to take a cheap contract to back up Yao, then I would be okay with that, because he is a pretty decent post defender with his length.

    But I just don't see that happening, so I say no to Rasheed Wallace.

    Ron Artest and Rasheed Wallace on the same team. Volatile, to say the least. I'll pass...

    Yes! I remember that CLEARLY! It pissed me off to see him calling Scola "garbage" to his face and to the whole Rockets bench when he was the one getting schooled by Scola. The fact the he's lazy and he plays whenever he feels like it doesn't help either. I say PASS!!

    Wow, had no idea about any of this. sounds like a chemistry killer.

    As far as Bonzi, I knew where his priorities were when I shared the same elevator with him at the Royalton one time and he was reeking of pot. This was during the season.

    Sheed's not worth the $8m he is asking for.

    I sya pass, because of the price he wants. I wish he'd go for cheaper because I think he fits well, but you have to think smart. If we nab him for $8m, we will be losing alot. There will be no space for other players, adn we would have lost some great trade bait already (from a S&T with detroit).

    I'd prefer rip.

    sheed has championship experience and he's a pretty good post defender with length. He provides everything our team lacks at the 4 and for 8 million, i wouldnt mind him seeing him sporting rocket red.

    I actually see Hedo go to Detroit ... if they want to get rid of Sheed.

    Meaning, either Rip or Prince come off the bench as Hedo doesn't play PF and won't? Sheed is already done in Detroit.
