Mark my words, we DO need a gangster on this team.
Ssrving as a mentor is great (and I mentioned that being one of Wallace's unheradled attributes in another thread). However I want any player that the Spurs pick up to be able to give consistent production on the court, also.Quote:

Sheed would instantly improve our frontline without adding a young big man.Quote:

yeah i know especially after the young guys were so great in the playoffs. bonner and mason especially! dude the best players were still tim tony and bruce. mainly old fellasQuote:

From Marc Stein today:

From the veterans' committee, as stated here previously, Rasheed Wallace is said to have interest in both Dallas and San Antonio as a free-agent destination.
come on in for 1.8 mill Sheed.
Sign Antonio with the MLE then onward and upward.
That would put the Spurs well over the luxury tax. Not to mention I highly doubt Sheed would play for ~4M less than McDyess.Quote:

if he wants to win a championship i dont believe the 8 million a year crap
and go after a 3 with our MLE Artest,Ariza someone to replace bruce who I predict will be probably traded or going to retire
How many people actually watched Sheed play this year? From what I saw, he has slipped a notch, he's 35, he's still volatile (lots of techs this season), and he spent the last 1/3 of the season injured. Have we not learned anything? Do we really want to give a roster spot to yet another old geezer?
If he signs dirt-cheap, fine, but spending more than 2mil on Sheed would be a mistake.
Buying low is always a safe assessment.Quote:

Taking this season into perspective, he had to deal with roster mistakes of paramount proportions.
Bottom line is that he's still very effective and there aren't many available bigs who can give what he can. Additionally, the only help he had on that front line was Dice. Tim and Sheed compliment each other offensively, plus he plays really good defense.
We do need youth on the frontline, but I don't know where we'll find that sort of need which will be effective enough to really help this team with the window it has. So it's best to hope for Ian, and if we can find something else aside from Ian, then so be it. As of right now, if he's not completely out of our range, i'd do it.
Seeing as there is not a plethora of young bigs to sign, then yes you DO sign him.Quote:

The way I see it, it's either Sheed or overseas for our next big.Quote:

I prefer overseas, but... Feed the SHEED!!!!!!!!Quote:

He showed up for Gm 5, even if he didn't make a big splash, what do you expect from a rookie who was in his first playoff series, and wasn't really used the prior 15 or so games, because his coach didn't believe in him?
