Sheed rejects offer, Knicks may go after him with KVH and shandn

OK on nba fastbreak, they said Rasheed rejected the blazers offer on a contract extension for i think 4 years, 35 million (may have been 40 million). no big surprise.

then they said the knicks are interested in him. no big surprise.

then they listed the possible packages the knicks would send. big surprise. at least to me.


stephen a. smith may know nothing and these may be false but the two packages he listed were:

shandon andersn (wtf!)
kurt thomas
othella harrington (they actually listed al harrington but i've used my deep knowledge of the nba to realize he plays many miles away in indiana)


or

keith van horn (wtf!)
shandn andersn (wtf!)

am i alone in thinking these are horrible deals (esp #2) for portland, considering what they've said they want.

the first isn't horrible b/c kurt thomas is good and he and othella's relatively low contracts end in two years (and kt can opt out after this year). of course shandn has a horrendous contract that goes for 3 years beyond this.

in the second, you have kvh with a monster contract for 3 more years, and shandn with a monster contract for 3 more years, and neither is even close to worth it. portland seems to have said they'd just let sheed walk for the cap room if need be. why screw yourself cap wise for 3 years for kvh and shandn andersn.

i've thought some deal with mo t and the TE or cato and the TE (with necessary throw ins) had no chance but how are they any worse than those deals? mo goes for 3 more years and is a pf like randolph but the TE helps and cato is done in 2 years.

so anyone think portland should be able to squeeze more out of a team than kvh and shandn? i'd actually be pissed if those moves went through b/c they would make isiah look good.

 

friggin' hilarious.
