see ya
SLAM contributor J. Gamble hears from a close personal friend of Rasheed Wallace’s that unless Sheed gets $8 million to play next year, he’s going to retire.

Just a rumor for now, but considering all the topics about the Spurs potentially signing Wallace, I thought I'd post this in the Spurs section.
I can't see anyone paying $8M for Sheed
That means he wont be coming the SA.
Don't let the door knob hit ya on the way out.
8 Million? Happy Retirement Sheed.
Blessing in disguise if true.
Say o to Latrell Sprewell for us, as you both try and feed your families.
He wants 8mi with this economy?!!.... at his age?!!... with his reputation?!!
Sheed has earned more than $140M in his NBA career. If his only motivation to continue or not to play is some money, it's sad.
if Wallace wants 8 mil Spurs wont sign him ... he's baiting the Spurs though because he knows he's probably a piece ( or maybe even the piece) that would put them over the top ... if what the article says is true , he's put himself at a ridiculously high price to begin with , but it's an unreasonably high price for the Spurs to pay because it would also put them over the cap ... if it didn't put them over the cap , than 8 mil for a one year contract i think might be worth the risk ...
Exactly. I would think at this time in his career his aspirations would be for another le.
I'm not sure he actually means it. Once he realizes nobody will pay him that much, there's a good chance he'll just sign with whoever gives him the best shot at the le.
Reunion of Wallaces in Cleveland.
After a summer with no 8 mill/year offers, reached for comment, Sheed said....
Both sides negotiated hard my man, both sides negotiated hard.
idc sheed can retire for all i care
... moving on to McDyess.
this is great, it effectively puts him out of reach for the Spurs, I like Sheed but the Spurs must infuse younger legs into the team at any chance they can get.
Where are these young legs.
I'm just curious where these players are you people keep demanding.
Its a bluff. He'll sign for less,not necesssarily with the Spurs.Personally, I prefer McDyess.
It's all EGO with these guys.. "Don't dare pay me 7 mil, when someone i feel i am better than is getting 8 or more" I don't want Sheed anyway..
baseless rumor. i don't know why everyone is getting so upset.
Who did Sheed think he is?
I really hope the Spurs avoid the Sheed sweepstakes, and go for McDyess in the offseason while looking for youth on the wings.
If this is true, we have no chance.
Cavs may afford this much.
