Boston lead owner Wyc Grousbeck, general manager Danny Ainge, head coach Doc Rivers, Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce all went to Detroit on Thursday to formally present Wallace with an offer for the full mid-level exception. But they left town without Wallace agreeing to a deal. Wallace will visit San Antonio and Orlando next week, according to a source, before making up his mind. Wallace is not likely to visit Cleveland.
http://www.nba.com/2009/news/feature...artest.lakers/
Obviously good news on the visiting SA part. Curious that he's not going to visit Cleveland. I wonder if that's Sheed not wanting Cleveland, or Cleveland deciding to just keep Varejao and not pursue Sheed.
Next week? As in... Monday? Why isn't someone already in Detroit?
Hopefully it is early next week. Free agents can start signing on Wednesday . . .
Anyone drawing any significance to the fact that the C's management and players sent a contingent to Detroit, yet Wallace is willingly traveling to S.A.?
I hope this doesn't take too long, I would just offer the entire MLE too mcdyess so we can focus on a possible trade and another big. Hopefully though next week means monday 12:01 AM and we sent a private jet with at least TD and pop in it.
Sheed was here last week. I read it on the internets.
If the Spurs can sign Sheed, they could be the only team in the West that has a legit shot at perhaps giving those Lakers a battle.
Maybe some of the moves that some of our rivals have made will motivate RC and Holt to be more aggressive. July 8th is around the corner!
That is a heavy push I think Spurs need him more and his skillset fits SA more ...but Boston is closer to his Philly home ...
If not Rasheed then who?
Listening to natl sports radio/tv you'd almost be certain Sheed is about to sign with BOS.
Wilbon was already talking about how it increases their chance at a ring.
It does say alot. My gut tells me (beside more beer) that Sheed will end up a Spur.Quote:

You could make a case that it's a sign that the celtics felt that if they were going to have a shot at sheed they needed to get to him before he met with the Spurs. But there's no way to know how much truth there is to that.Quote:

Meh, he wants to know what his options are. With a wife and kids, he's got to consider what's best for them, too.Quote:

How can you say no to that? I mean, as long as we're talking floating down the river eating something covered in cheese and drinking a margarita while listening to it...Quote:

I agree with other posters. My only concern is that Wallace drags this out and possibly hurts our chances at getting an alternate big available like Dice.
Hopefully, he chooses the Spurs before going to Orlando. Then he could still visit Orlando to plan ahead for what he will do when he goes to Disneyland to celebrate at the end of the season. :D
I don't see it like thatQuote:

i would defintly call in for that
Someone stated he came here to talk to Timmy? Any truth in that?
As far as Boston having all those players and coach come to see him. I see it 2 ways.
1. wow..look how much they want me. Coach and top players take the time to come see me and recuit me
2. Dam,,they trying to hard to get me, maybe I shoud see what my options really are.
He has to know he is a better fit in SA then any other team.
Pop basically gonna tell it like it is. This is our offer, this is the players you would play with, this is what we can do for you and I need an answer by xxx date.
Gotta respect telling it like it is.
Yoda
Wow so we're gonna have to wait till next week for a decision huh folks? Well damn it...:lol.
I just wonder who else SA might be in contact with on the low.
i think sheed is making that excuse to boston that he wants to look at other team soff because deep down inside he knoews him and garnett will have problems with garnetts mouth running all the time it wont be sheed with the big mouth
i really think sheed will come at the end of all this saga .pop and tim will dfintly make sheed feel at home if everyone says that he is really close to them
Well, they've been rumored to have interest in Frye, Gortat, Davis, Bass, McDyess, Pachulia along with Wallace. I thought there was someone else but that's all I can remember right now.Quote:

dont you think that is kinda shady when your going to get the same amount of money in san antonio probably
hes coming to san antonio if pop and tim will show him around town no doubt hes much closer to them then ainge and garnett
Seriously guys where is Pop?
Hasn't he usually been at these press conferences to introduce drafted players previous seasons?
I haven't seen him around anywhere. He's obviously gotta be working his ass off on something.
You should have stopped here. There's nothing shady about wanting to examine all your options.Quote:

okay if your a gm saying "why wont u want to play with us were offering you the same money that san antonio,we have the same equal talent". im pretty sure if wallace wanted to go to boston he would of signed already and said screw everyone else.Quote:

I think it's a great sign if Doc, KG, Ray Allen, Bill Russell, David Ortiz, Tom Brady, Will Hunting and the whole Boston area Irish Mafia went knocking on Sheed's door...
and Sheed still told them to "go chill with a bowl of Chowda! I'm gonna see about some Spurs."
Maybe he needs a few of these too!

A little hometown flavor works too.

Oh man, Youz Guys in Universal City makes the BEST Philly in a SA. Hands down. The owners move here from South Philly.
I hope it's not a 2 day trip...I am volunteering to be the official collector of "Weed for Sheed". Let's do our part to put this over the top. All donations will go to Sheed, I promise...:hatQuote:

San Antonio citizens please show some love to Rasheed in his trip...
wow...just wow. the lakers are the weakest champ in the last 35 years. they prayed on young mistake prone teams in the playoffs. a healthy celtics or spurs team, late in the playoffs would have waxed them.Quote:

Don't know where this guy got that statement from but this guy is a C's fan.
http://insidehoops.com/forum/showthr...=137790&page=8
Pop just needs to call LB to give Sheed a nudge. Plus, I think the ACC connection between TD and Sheed is huge. I guess we will find out soon enough.
That's good news.
I just hope he decides where he's going to play before Wednesday.
We may lose some other FA if we wait too much on him
Whoa! For a second there I thought you were gonna "put it better words :rolleyes".Quote:

Again, I bet this may have a little something to do with it:

They also need to offer three years of MLE if Boston's offering two, which is what I saw on the ticker last night.
FACT 1: David $tern hate the Spurs because we won Championships when he want the Lakers.
FACT 2: David $tern hate Wallace because he Talk with the Refs, and make Technicals Fouls
FACT 3: If we Sign Sheed Davit $tern will hate the Spurs x 2
