Sheed or Dice?

I think the edition of either one of these guys would be great. This offseason the free agents aren't tremendously high caliber (at least the one the Spurs can afford). If the Spurs could sign either one to a one year deal go for it. At this point next year's team if going to be about the same. Next season we can really because of the expiring contracts of Ginobili and Bowen. I think a lot people tend to forget that age does not determine talent.

But, in terms of a long term deal Sheed will have to sign with the Spurs for the least amount possible for me to like the deal.

Plus Pop and Sheed probably wouldn't get along too well.

Remember that Sheed use to play under Larry Brown. I don't remember hearing anything about those two butting heads. Pop is cut from the same cloth as Larry Brown, and so I believe that Sheed and Pop wouldn't have a hard time getting along.

That would be gravy if we could get both.

rather have dyce honestly, but you gotta love sheed. if sheed works on his shot and comes to SA in shape, id love him. regardless of techs, hes a smarter player than dyce, and clutcher. dyce is a better rebounder, and wont miss the open ones like sheed. sheed this year reminded me of horry last year. just an awful shooter that you know if he worked at all would still be contributing well.

If Sheed has still something left in the tank, he would be a tremendous addition.

From the last 2 years and especially this year I"ll have to agree. He just is adeclining 3 point shooter. However if it's all just lost motivation and not his skills he would be great to have if he could be had at a good price. That being said I would rather have dice because I would think we could get dice at a much cheaper price and more bang fo the buck. Plus it would be nice to have Dice to teach Ian some things.

McDyess

Dude I was excited about possibly getting sheed awhile ago. But damn the guy is pretty bad now. Id probably want mcdyess more because he wont jack up tons of 3s like sheed. Either are better than bonner, but sheed is not what people think, the one thing he'd bring is better d than bonner but other than that not much

no, not minutes per game. that the career total in minutes for both.

we are talking about players, who could become part of the regular rotation and who can contribute immediately. Ian and Gist might both be on the roster. but they will be 9th and 10th in the rotation at best.

---

Well, compare the minutes Bonner played between this season and last season. Pop's adjustment can never be predicted.

Dice has impressed me this season.

No to Wallace. Never been a fan, and he's on the downswing.

McDyess, on the other hand, is some bad shit, and he's been playing great lately. I'd sign him in a heartbeat. (Yes, I know he's old...that just means he'd fit in...)

Why not get both? Antonio McDyess is the more skilled of the two players, but Sheed has more size.

Personally, I would love to see the Spurs revert back to what won them the initial Championships.....TWIN TOWERS!!!!! Chris Bosh free agent 2010! WHAT A PAIR!!!!!!!!!!:lobt2:

Sheed, hands down.


Sheed > McDyess > Gooden

One of the towers might need some structural repair.

I would have to agree.

I'd probably take Camby over Rasheed. At the right price, of course.

this is exactly why i would rather have Wallace over anyone...

the Spurs will have to ultimately go through the Lakers if they want to win another ring , and each Wallace and Duncan's length and post-defense would give Bynum and Gasol a hell of a lot of trouble because for the most part , Gasol and Bynum play in the post and aren't going to out-quick you ... Wallace and Duncan still have ability to play great post defense ... Wallace would also be able to help guard Dirk (although Bonner did pretty well on him for the most part) ...

and on offense the Spurs would have the luxary of being able to have Wallace roam behind the 3-point line to keep Bynum or Gasol outside the paint , making it easier for Ginobili and Parker to penetrate ... but he's also crafty enough in the post (when he plays there) to get either one of them in foul trouble ...

... but then there's still the problem of not having a mobile enough 4 or 5 long , or a long or athletic enough 3 , to be able to contain guys like David West and Odom , who are mismatch hell for the Spurs , right ? ... that's the big question : will Gist be that long/athletic 3 and will Mahinmi be the mobile enough 4 or 5 the Spurs need to guard those guys ... from what i've seen , i think they can both be full those desired roles ...
