I am happy he is not coming.

Funny how everyone is saying Wallace was a big risk now, yet just a few days ago when I said it it was blasphemy.

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
I think our the moves he's referring to is us leaving our front court bare thin with the RJ trade, and he didn't want to come in and be a savoir front court player.
AKA, he was lazy/felt he was too old for this shit lol. McDyess is the real man, he's not scared

Nah... can't be that since he is going on a team with Rondo, Pierce, Allen, and Garnett. Who doesn't shoot??
If anything, his shots would have increased with the departure of Oberto and KT (although I see him returning).

That could definitely be it but that is why you come in an talk with the FO to see what their direction would be.
Even still, if this is why, the it is a punk move just like when Gortat stated he didn't want to go to Houston because of the pressure to fill Yao's shoes.

Maybe Rasheed didn't want to face Blair in practice.

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
One of the sportswriters wrote an article that Sheed was basically looking to loaf and not do the heavy lifting. Sounds like he was right, Sheed figured if he can only get half the dough he wants, he would go somewhere where he could play half the minutes. Does not sounds like an attitude befitting the Spurs organization. Doubt he does much at all with the Celtics, definitely expecting some career low stats out of the dude.

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
that awesome because mcdysse has played less then 182 games
more then 2 seasons
so he maybe older but has played less games

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
I think it really came down to what one poster said about who does Sheed prefer to hang out with for Dinner and long trips either Manu,Bonner,RJ,Parker or KG,PierceAllen. It seems Boston has personalities he identifies more with then the spurs.
-
Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
He just wanted to be with his peoples. You know the kind of black people who over exagerate celebration after every made shot or dunk. Hes too gangsta for the spurs and Duncan. He would be more comfortable with Garnet. They have the same stereotype personality.

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
Rasheed is an East Coast guy (like Odom). Those guys usually don't sign on with the Spurs.

That's the meaning I got as well. Maybe Sheed didn't want to play a big role like the one he would have had with the Spurs any longer. In Boston, he's more or less the backup for Garnett, while in San Antonio, he would have been a starter (IF Fin doesn't land the starting PF-spot, that is ;)).

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
I think whoever said Sheed is lazy and didn't want to work his *ss off for the Spurs was right. The dude is chronic under-achiever.
Anyway I thought he was a bad fit for the Spurs. Why bring a head-case bad attitude player in now when the Spurs have always tried to sign class act players with character. When you have been using a philosophy for years, THAT WORKS, why change it now and sign someone like Sheed? Some of y'all were so into him that you forgot what he is really about.

I buy it. He wants to party til retirement. He didn't like KT, etc., leaving.

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
To me it sounds like Rasheed didn't want to come over here and be the Spurs' savior. He's mentioned before that he doesn't want to be a star on his team, he'd rather be a piece to the puzzle. With the frontcourt being rather thin, he probably felt like he would need to be the savior.

Come on. Sheed may be "technical-prone", but he gets a lot of them because of his bad reputation.
Apart from that, I've never heard or read anything about him being a bad teammate or not being a good sport. "Head-case" - to some extent, maybe. But "bad attitude player" - I think that's being unfair to Wallace.

Jefferson and the Nets have had a great deal of bad blood with the Pistons over the last decade.
Sheed probably isn't all that fond of Jefferson's whining that Billups broke his wrist on purpose a few years back.

He does have a bad attitude, and he is an under-achiever. The 1st thing people say about Sheed is that he could have been as good as Duncan but was too lazy throughout his career. He played hard for the 2004 and 2005 seasons, but now is not the player some think he is. His defense is also overrated. Anyway he's not a Spur so "who cares?"

Re: Rasheed's comments on why he didn't go to the Spurs
Screw Sheed, he is out East now, let him help the Celtics. He had his chance to wear silver and black and I respect his choice, but the McDyess signing totally made up for losing out on Sheed.
