Much better then the nonsensical speculation about Vince Carter.
Don't see how you can create a good trade scenario w/o including one of Duncan-Parker-Manu triplet.
Stop dreaming Joe is not going to trade him for crap. Yes he would be great next to Tim but you have nothing to trade lets move on.

i prefer if there is a big team trade
vc + rasheed to the spurs for cash considerations, picks, draft rights, expiring contracts.....
the third team will sweetened the deal by unloading and .....
spurs then fill out the team with dleague players for the time being....
Shoulda kept Scola.
You never know, might get lucky like LA with Gasol.
Would Joe rather get nothing in return for him? Would Rasheed accept a trade to a crap team?
Yes good point Joe has a history of making bad trades. Oh wait never mindYou never know, might get lucky like LA with Gasol.
Yes it's called cap space.
That's all I wanted to know so if Rasheed doesn't approve of any trade to a crappy team Joe's going to have to keep him and let his contract expire.
What do you think? I don't think Rasheed would accept a trade to a team that doesn't have a chance to win it. That's how you guys got him in the first place by Rasheed refusing to play for Atlanta so I think Rasheed would probably do the same thing if you tried trading him to a crappy team.
I think Sheed is out of there at seasons end. With him and Iverson expiring thats something like $30 million coming off the books. I would say the Pistons choose to do a mini rebuild around Stuckey and Tay, but didnt they just give Hamilton an extension?
Stuckey and Tay ooooo shakin in my boots.
Rasheed is not Chinese.
he's going for a first name basis when he joins. kinda like nene.
Great analysis by MI21 but timvp hit the nail on the head. It's Sheed's instability that's gonna make Pop balk on a deal. It's too bad because Sheed is indeed the perfect compliment to Timmy with his ability to hit the three or be a low post threat when Timmy is out.
If we could keep Sheed on a Thorazine drip, I'd say go for it.
No I know, but NBA.com has this thing where they basically don't let you replicate the name and number of a player on another team. Like even if your last name was Jordan, you couldn't personalize a Spurs jersey with "Jordan" and "23". Unless maybe you call I don't know. But I couldn't do Wallace with a 30 or a 36. Try it.
You people are nuts if you honestly think they won't take Sheed if both parties are fine with what each party gives up.
Technical fouls? Really? Alright.
sheed was extremely well-behaved (by his standards) during the piston's championship runs showing that he is capable of curtailing it when the goal is very clear and very attainable.
instead of wallace....is still possibe to trade for mc dyess?
given the current detrit situation, he could prefer to be traded to a team with a better chance to be a contender...
I think if it went down it would be a low risk high reward deal. Sheed is in the last year of a contract which leads me to believe he will play under control just to inflate his value during the summer time. Spurs can take advantage of this and if it works out they win another le and then let Sheed walk during the summertime.
The problem with Sheed and Artest is their emotional makeup which is something that is very hard for some players to control, but it can be done.
Speaking of Artest, he's certainly seems to have calmed down. I haven heard of any problems in Houston when He's been healthy enough to play and he's not starting most of the time when they can put all their first team players on the court.
Remind me again why Detroit would want our oldest,most ineffective players again? We won't land Wallace with that group because we don't even want them, so how can we expect anyone else to want them?
Best chance Sheed comes to SA is if the Pistons find someone willing to trade with and that team buys out his contract allowing him to be a FA like what happened to McDyess, unlike McDyess i don't think he'd resign with Detroit but he would probably listen hard to the spurs offers at that point.

One of the primary benefits of trading Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson earlier this season was that it would allow the Pistons to clear more than $22 million in salary cap space this summer with the expiring contracts of Iverson and Wallace.
The plan is to use that space to restructure the roster during the next two summers. It would take an irresistible deal for Dumars to give away that cap space. Yes, trading Wallace, 34, for Phoenix forward Amare Stoudemire, 26, would be an example of an irresistible deal for the Pistons. But the Suns at this time don't have any interest in trading a young, all-star power forward for an aging one.
So, with the Feb. 19 trade deadline still 12 days away, no trades are imminent for the Pistons.
"You never know with this business," Wallace said. "I've been in this game a long time and I've seen a lot of surprising things. With me, there won't be no ill will toward anybody (if he is traded) because I know it's just part of the business. You can't take it personally."
If he had his druthers, though, Wallace would remain a Piston and see this season to its conclusion. Because, struggles aside, Wallace still feels like this is a contending team.
"I do, because we still got those three pieces from the championship team (himself, Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton), and we've got some hungry young fellas and two hungry vets in Dyess (Antonio McDyess) and AI (Iverson)," Wallace said. "It's just a matter of us pulling this ship together and making the playoffs. Then we will take it from there. Once we get into the playoffs, then we can focus on making that hard run from there."
Wallace has made the playoffs the last 12 straight years, a streak he has no intention of letting end.
