wft, the door of big men is closing for us
If anything like that happened, it would leak out somehow. Kark Malone came to town to eat at Water Street with Pop and TD, and it hit the news before he ever left the restaurant. And we all remember the spectacle of Jason Kidd coming to town and the helicopter hovering over as he, his wife, Timmy, and Amy drove out IH10.Quote:

Regardless of which big the Spurs sign with their MLE, they still need to
trade (Finley, Bonner, and Williams) for one of the following:
1. Camby- maybe less likely now that they traded Randolph.
2. Foster
3. Nocioni- backup SF and can be PF when Spurs go small.
4. Collison
That's quite a delegation the Celtics sent to Detroit to stroke Wallace's ego.. I hear the Spurs are sending the Coyote LOL.. seriously though I hope Spurs are the last team he listens to.. maybe Pop and RC can come up with something special.
In Pop and RC we trust.
Spurs gotta offer him that third year. It's overpaying, but Holt's already showed the team is going for broke to win next year anyways.
I like the fact that Wallace has been relatively durable over the years. So giving him the third year of the contract wouldn't bother me as much as offering it to another less durable player. Yes the SAS would be getting a diminished Wallace, one not close to the 2005 Wallace, but it would be Rasheed Wallace's skillset nonetheless.
If the Spurs offer that 3rd year, he is yours. IMO Sheed is fucking with the Celts. He just took advantage of all the gifts and meals Boston paid for. A 2 year deal is nice but a 3 year deal will land him with the Spurs. Plus in 1-2 years, that contract will be very tradeable.
I'm sure Sheed still remember losing to Boston in 2008Quote:

I don't think that Sheed is messing with Boston, I'm sure he's just doing his due diligence to respectfully listen to all offers. In the end, I think that he'll realize that SA represents his best shot at multiple championships in a stable environment, and he'll come to the Spurs.
I just watched a telecast on ESPN about the Celts offering Wallace a contract. Chris Broussard's take is that he thinks the Celts will eventually end up getting Wallace over San Antonio. He said that Wallace isn't in a rush to make a decision and is just sitting back and looking at his options. Chris Broussard stated that San Antonio just hasn't shown as much interest as the Celtics and are hesitant to give Wallace the MLE. Their target was Gortat and was willing to give him the MLE, but unfortunately, Dallas has already secured him.
If this is true... what direction will the Spurs go in now? My assumption would be a full court press on McDyess.
the 3rd year won't be so bad, considering RJ's will expire after 2 championships.Quote:

Was Bob Ryan volunteering a reach-around? I'm sure Doc brought that to the table as well.Quote:

McDyess would be a decent option, but he does not bring as complete a game to the table as Wallace. Gooden did an OK job last year, but isn't really on the same level. Gortat? Eh. Pachulia? The only thing I like about his game is his ability to annoy Garnett. Dejuan Blair > Brandon Bass. Who am I forgetting? Does it matter?
Rasheed Wallace is the most talented and smartest FA out there and all you folks who disagree don't know much about basketball. The character issue argument is laughable and meaningless. He will be a Spur and he will fall in line.
haha yes! I turned that on midway through and was certain that Sheed had signed with BOS by the way those tools were talking about it.Quote:

Maybe 2 years and then 3rd a player or team option or something like that. Or we could be like your performance last year sucked, and go for most likely a cheaper dice. It's hard to tell who would fit better-i mean we can speculate all we want about their playing styles, but no ones knows for sure who will bring what. I'm sure the spurs will figure it out just as long as they get 1 or the other I'll be happy.
Another reason I want Sheed over Dice is that Sheed is taller people! Dice is only 6'9.Quote:

That said, sometimes you have to overpay to get what you want. If my options are an extra year that we may regret 2 years down the line, or cut-rate talent now, give him that third year and be done with it.
3 years of TP, Manu, Jefferson, TD, and Sheed would be fucking awesome though and could get us 1 more title, hell...even 2.Quote:
