The spurs should have gotten Wallace when he was traded from Portland or Atlanta but hardly anyone here even wanted him at that time. That was the time to get him.
Sheed would be a perfect fit on the Spurs, besides the technical fouls. The only way I can see him coming over this year is through a multi-team trade, because there's no way the Pistons want anyone on the Spurs. If they can pull off a multi-team trade, then I'm all for it. If not, then we will have to wait till the offseason to try and get him.

Sheed makes 13.68 mil, 11 mil will make the deal.
Thomas 4.2 mil
Bonner 3 mil
Bowen 4 mil
Splitter could be thrown in as a sweetner.
The three provide trade flexibility and expiring contracts for 2010 plus the Splitter factor. Detroit does not want to get caught with free agent filler for 2009 and miss out on the 2010 smorgasboard.
As much as i want Sheed...I dont want to trade Bowen for him....
I think he'll be a Spur next year..we can't get him in a trade, so we'll get him in the off-season..
it's really starting to look like our team next year is going to be better than this year's team IMO..Sheed is a perfect player against LA, as Laker fans can tell you..you add in maturity for Hill, Hairston and Gist will hopefully be on the roster, and hopefully Ian gets healthy, and we're much better than we are now..
I don't mind Sheed's age, because we'll have a much younger roster next year..Vaughn will be off the roster, Ian will hopefully replace Oberto, Hairston and Gist will replace Finley and Udoka..
very good point. I see us being much better NEXT year. (especially if we can land Sheed) It sucks it cant be this year.
The Only team that can beat us is the Lakers. We just gotta hope we play flawlessley against them or someone else eliminates them.
why dont we just give them kurt thomas?
That's sounds like a great plan. I like the idea of getting Sheed too. However, that IS a plan for next year. In the meantime, the Spurs still have to matchup against the Fakers and try to best them in a 7-game series. However, they are still lacking on the frontline. To get through this year and to be in a position to acquire Sheed in the offseason, the Spurs cannot take on any contracts beyond this year.

Therefore, the Spurs will likely need to invest in a low-cost trade option like a Joe Smith - a player who has useful veteran low-post skills, yet one whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Why would you get rid of Kurt Thomas now that hes playing well?
sigh...

Joe Smith is worthless and would add nothing.
Pass.
Would we give up Manu to get Rasheed? I love-em both.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
He did alot for Celeveland last year in the playoffs.
Disagree. For 8-12 mins a game, in a 7-game series versus the Fakers? He could be very useful. Remember all we need is defense, rebounding, a blocked shot and 6-8 ppg. And of course, use of those six fouls.
Name another preferred big, whose low-cost, contract expires at the end of this season?
He doesn't block shots and his defense is horrible.
There is none.
Thats whats so laughable about everyone "demanding" a trade.
Theres NOTHING that adresses the needs.
Joe Smith is a soft perimiter big who's interior defense rivals Samaki Walker in intimidation.
While thats true, he doesn't address hte needs. He doesn't block shots, and he doesn't play defense, and he would be WAY overmatched against Bynum.
Mark Stein says Rasheed Wallace has some interest in being traded to SA.
He doesn't think it will happen -- Detroit doesn't want what the Spurs have to give up.
He says "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."
come on spurs pull this off i know hopefully he'll resign with us for a couple more years after he's a free agent after this season
bonner replace with wallace
vaugh replace with signing ahearn
give up splitter rights
give up udoku and have hairston take his role
and im pretty sure bowen and finely have to go but hopefully theyll buy out and come back to the the spurs
i didn't say the pistons would do it, just that it's the only way i can see sheed coming to the spurs this year. spurs will not trade five players for sheed nor does the pistons have enough roster space to take in five players. people who do the trade machines find that the salaries match but forget the max number of players a team can have is 15.
Theo Ratliff?
Chris Mannix from cnn/si:
San Antonio Spurs
• Team payroll: $68 million
• Potential trade assets: None
• Outlook: The shrewd Spurs are rarely deadline dealers. San Antonio's big deal came in the offseason when it got younger on the wing by signing the clutch-shooting Roger Mason Jr. Rookie George Hill's development precludes any need for a backup point guard, so expect the Spurs to stand pat.
Finally, someone with common sense. The spurs are not going to make any major moves. Expect a low salary player if anything.
Id my pants if it were to happen.
oh man I'd love to pick up Sheed. I think he's the most misunderstood player in the NBA and his defensive toughness would fit in well here.
I'd give up any or all of the following players:
Bonner (Sheed offers the same things as him, and is better)
Vaughn (not being used right now)
Udoka (not being used right now)
Hairston
Mahinmi (seems to be injury prone, at this point I'd give up his unknown quan y for the proven quan y of Sheed)
Oberto
Finley
I wouldn't give up TD, Parker, Manu, Thomas, Bowen, Mason, or Hill.
Do the Spurs give up the rights to Splitter for Sheed? That's the big question
A very good Horry replacement if it pushes through... somehow.
I'd go the less messy route and squee like a little girl.
I wouldn't give up Bowen to get him. And we'd have to keep Bonner or Oberto, we couldn't have only three bigs.
