I'll volunteer a "yes."
Pistons are clearly in the rebuilding process. Joe dumars wants to clean shop.
If san antonio could make a dead with the pistons for wallace, would it solve tim duncan's need of a big man?
I'll volunteer a "yes."
What? Do you mean we offer a dead man to get Rasheed Wallace?
anyone but the big three (and maybe roger mason and one draft pick)
Nope. Wallace is truely on sale but the SA isn't defenitely gonna be his destination. Provided Pop wanted Sheed to play for spurs then he would have to make a deal to acquire him. Then there would be two options for spurs:
1) Trade either Manu or Parker and a couple of fillers
2) Keep Manu and parker and trade half of the team for him, and sign several LLEs to fill the 15 roster space.
Either way, it will do nothing good to the spurs team. spurs are pretty good now, and they should feel pretty content considering rockets and Mavs.
Sheed!
Rasheed is about as close as you can find to Robert Horry in the NBA today but Pop hates technicals so much that I doubt he'd sign off on it.
Rasheed Wallace would be the absolute perfect compliment to Tim. Fantastic post defender which allows Timmy to patrol the weakside whilst being a dangerous perimeter threat on offense which doesn't impede on Timmy's space down low to operate. Rasheed can also be a great low post threat in his own right. The Spurs would leap above the Celtics, Lakers and Cavs with a move like that.
I can only dream.
there is nothing the spurs can offer for sheed. the pistons have nothing to lose. just let the team play out and then have the huge cap room. besides they need to make the playoffs, detroit is poor economically
true but i think he is making only 10 million a year. If we could move finley, bonner udoka and vaughn, we could have enough to grab him, but realistically we would have to give up a young piece like hill or mahimmi, etc.
but me personally if we could do that and the pistons accepted a trade like that i would go for it. He compliments timmy so perfectly
au contraire mon fraire

Pop has to have liked him, considering he almost traded David Robinson for him 10 years ago. He makes almost $14 million though, so there's no way the Spurs could match salar. Plus, with Splitter being such a pussy and staying in Europe, I can't see anything the Spurs could offer them within reason anyways. Even at 35 Sheed would be a good guy to go after for a short-term contract with the MLE next season.
Finley has to accept the trade, Udoka and Vaughn have negative trade value and small contracts, the Pistons don't need Hill because they have Stuckey and Mahinmi has played a total of 7 NBA games... like other people said we have absolutely nothing valuable that would entice the Pistons to trade with us.
Our best chance would be to get him in the summer on a 1-year contract, but I suppose he'd be looking for a longer one.
Good player Sheed, though, would be perfect next to Tim.
This could happen.
ESPN has posted an article called "Trade Talk: Who's Staying and Who's Going"
I cite this from it...
5. San Antonio's desire to acquire one more big man (preferably a floor-stretching big man) to counter the Lakers and Boston is no secret.
The surprise stems from the rumbles I've heard about Detroit free-agent-to-be Rasheed Wallace, he who is chief among the Pistons unsettled by the realization that big changes are undoubtedly coming in that locker room, having legit interest in joining the Spurs to team up with his 2005 NBA Finals nemesis Tim Duncan.

As you can see the only way is to throw away the spurs trash(udoka, vaughn and the injured Mahinmi) and than give away a good defender in Bowen... and Detroit needs defense, lastly you gotta give away a good player in Bonner. It would take a lot to get Sheed but it would sure as give us that 5th ring. Is it just me or is this a trade to watch out for?
Got this from ESPN

And yes most likely for this to even come close to working Finley would have to agree.
it would have more credibility if it didn't come from ESPN... the same news agency that told everyone that Bosh and Wade were leaving their respective teams.
In the world of journalism, I believe this is called a (literal) sound-byte. What follows is this:
Don't see a real trade possibility here -- given that the Pistons are unlikely to take back anything other than expiring contracts for the expiring deals possessed by Wallace and Allen Iverson unless they have a chance to trade for someone like Stoudemire or Chris Bosh -- but it's something to file away for free agency
wont happen. Rasheed's too expensive. it's as real as Deke coming to SA was.
Splitter's the best scorer and rebounder of his team which is in the euroleague top 16 : 15.7 pts / 5.3 rbds / 66% FG in 24 min. Not exactly a pussy.
Besides, with what happened lately to his sister, I suggest you give him a break.
He did? I don't remember that trade off the top of my head. Who else was supposedly involved?
I remember the Vin Baker rumors from that time period but not Rasheed . . .
Agreed. If Pop can look past the technicals (perhaps Larry Brown will vouch for him), Wallace would fit like a glove next to Duncan. He's basically like a more talented version of Horry minus the legendary clutchness.
Trade 6 players for Sheed? and then we'd win a championship....??
Vin Baker !
Rasheed in our team would be awesome, but we have to give up a lot to acquire him.
It could work, but I don't see it.
I can only dream
Yeah, I bet you'd pick 8 mil over 1... pussy.
