Could the Pistons buyout Sheed?

[xtremesteven33]

It makes sense to buy him out from the Pistons standpoint.

Hes being a distraction and a menace to the team.

For the Spurs though he would guaranSHEED us a championship.

Rasheed Wallace will be in the Pistons’ lineup after all Friday night against the Orlando Magic.

It looked like he would have to serve a one-game suspension because he picked up two technical fouls in Wednesday night’s 90-87 loss to the Hornets.

NBA rules dictate that a player must sit a game when he reaches 16 technicals.

But NBA vice president of basketball communications Tim Frank said in an e-mail this morning that technicals received on Dec. 23 and Feb. 7 were rescinded.

That leaves Wallace with 14 for the season....

Holy ing , imagine having Sheed AND Dice next summer!!! I just ed in my pants. Preferably Sheed would come over before the deadline for playoff rosters, but then, Dice might not want to come cuz he's here. But being on a contender with a top 3PG(arguably top 2), a top 5 SG, and 2 top 15 bigs(I think Sheed is at least 11-15, but idk), how could he say no? Imagine a rotation of

TP/Hill
Mason/Manu
Bowen/Hairston/Gist
Tim/Bonner
Sheed/Ian/Dice

, I can't even fit in Thomas, Fin or Fab(I know Pop would have one always acitve, so one of the rookies might not make it). I know get both Detroit players is unlikely, but at lest Sheed is certain. Come on, buy that crazy T loving er out!!!!!!!!!!

2009 might end up with the Cavs/Lakers/Cs, but with a core of Tim/Tony/Manu/Sheed/Bowen and a youth explosion in Hill/Hairston/Ian/Gist, this team could get 2010 and then repeat. I'm looking forward to summer league and preseason almost as much as the first round of the POs.


Please someone else say they are escited for next years possibilites, I feel like I escaped the psycho ward or something.

just buy sheed out pistons. just do it. you owe him that much for coming over in 2004 and winning a championship for you. buyout would save you some money since the team isn't going to win anything this year. tank this year, save money, get a lottery pick, sign boozer in the off season, and contend again next year. do it.

[HarlemHeat37]

I could see him getting bought out, but not by the 1st..so it won't matter..

they should release Dice though, he deserves to play for a contender..he's the only guy on their team playing hard, even now..

'Sheed desperately needs a new situation though..dude isn't trying at all anymore..

[Obstructed_View]

If they buy him out, they'll do it on Monday when it's too late for him to sign somewhere else. What they really need to do is fire that idiot coach ASAP. If they can make some noise in the playoffs they might have a chance to salvage some of that roster.

[HarlemHeat37]

definitely need to get rid of Curry..it's not like they don't have talent..I know I wouldn't wanna play Detroit in the 1st round if they got their together..

people like to blame Iverson, but I don't really see it as his problem at all..

[Manufan909]

It's partially his, when you look at the huge positive it was when he left Denver(Billups helped), and how the Pistons are doing worse as individuals and a team as soon as he got to Detroit(again Billups makes AI look bad).

[HarlemHeat37]

Billups is severely overrated IMO..Denver's "improvements" are over-exaggerrated by the media..it's also not mentioned enough that having Nene in the rotation is an upgrade over Camby, and Carmelo is playing a better all-around game..

regardless, Denver isn't significantly better than last year IMO..they're starting to slow down..

Michael Curry is probably the worst coach in the NBA, and he lost his players a long time ago..

[Manufan909]

Idk, I don't think he is overrated, he's a great PG in my eyes. Maybe not top 5, but def top 7.

[HarlemHeat37]

I would actually put him in my top 5, but I find his impact to be overrated..

[Spursmania]

Can we afford Sheed?? , I'll take Sheed-he's a character and when he knows he's playing with a Championship team, he won't be pissing around.

[Leftyventricle]

he's funny

[Obstructed_View]

AI's too small and too old to carry a team now, and he's just never settled into the role of a team player. You'll never convince a Rat Terrier that it isn't a Rott.

[galvatron3000]

Why would Sheed take a buyout at this point in the season when he can get full compensation from the Pistons and then in the summer sign elsewhere if necessary.

To win a ring this season.

To leave a place he doesn't want to be.

Yeah, Curry is a total failure as head coach. This team has more than enough talent to be above .500.

[benefactor]

After all that has happened, there is no way they give Sheed the opportunity to hitch up to a contender. We will just have to wait and go after him in the offseason. By the way, those who say they don't want him need their head examined.

Didn't ing sorry ass Kobe Bryant in a game against us slap a towel out of a boys hands?...And the NBA did nothing about that..That is very ed up man, he gets away with way too much . That's why I hate that er!!!!

[Spursfan092120]

I feel the need to feed the SHEED!

Kobe has an obsession with towels:

[crc21209]

OMG can u imagine if the Pistons bought out Sheed and he came to the Spurs for nothing?!?! That would be some amazing ! He is only frustrated and acting like that because Joe D. blew up that team by adding A.I. and now he wants out, I guaranSHEED he wouldnt act like that here lol. No way, not with Pop, TD, Manu, and TP. He'll be motivated to win a ring, RELEASE HIM JOE D! Come on! We need him! lol.

why would Sheed take the buyout if he can't sign somewhere else? He might as well stay and get paid, it makes since to leave money on the table if he can get some of it back from another team in playoff contention. Pistons coach sucks but dumars sucks worse for the AI trade, Billips was that teams soul.

[TheSpursFNRule]

so if he is bought out by or before Sunday he can sign with the Spurs?

[angelbelow]

I don't want Sheed

lol wahh??
