Yeah, those air conditioned gyms are just murder, as are those 110 degree days during basketball season.

Have the Spurs released a statement which showed Sheed was the person they wanted? I must of missed that.

Haha. That would be a start.

Maybe we will and maybe won't find out the whole story. But either Sheed didn't wanna play here, or the Spurs didn't want him as bad as us fans wanted him.

Get over it, and see what the next chapter brings.

But seriously, this isn't a "failure" by the Spurs F.O....I suspect they knew all along that he's an East Coast guy, fits right in with the mouthy Garnett, and didn't want to play in S.A. They'll move on....can we?

Please?

Or like a sane person, you could choose to not read/listen to Bill Simmons.

I don't think we're overrating him but he'd fit with what the Spurs do more than most the fa's out there. McDyess being the only other player really. Maybe Bass to a certain extent.

You do have to wonder how much of a push they made for him though?? Hopefully McDyess or Bass are the ones they're pushing for because I just don't think Big Baby fits here.

the deal now report is for 3 years - third year is a player option:

Maybe the Spurs offered the same deal to Sheed that they signed McDyess and Celtics needed to add that 3rd year

Dude, Simmons is great. He's funny, interesting, occasionally insightful... not always right, but definitely worth the read. Stop frowning and give him another go! :D

Three-year contract with the third year being a player option? Yeah, no way the Spurs should have given Wallace that contract.

Sheed is washed up.

Sheed isnt overrated at all. Dumars didnt enforce the voice of the coach and they lost respect for Curry anf Saunders. Sheed wouldnt dare do that to Pop
