Wouldn't be a bad fit, provided he's on a short term deal. Yes, not the ideal free agent pickup, but depending on what's available, he might just suffice. I'd rather have him than Bonner playing 20+ per, but I guess that's just me.

Sheed> Bonner, KT, Oberto


If we can sign him for vet minimim I'm all for it!

[SenorSpur]

Thanks MB, for kicking the offseason FA discussions into high gear.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if he accepts the nba minimum then yes, if he wants anything more than the minimum? gtfo.....

[MaNu4Tres]

Sheed is the best option at Center via Free Agency.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He's not old and washed up enough I saidddd.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Don't do it ....

[Spur-Addict]

Early!

[EricB]

Target numero uno I suspect.

If he can come in motivated and in shape and willing to play on the block, then s yes.

[loveforthegame]

If he's healthy you'd be crazy not to give him a look. He's better than Oberto, Bonner, and Thomas combined.

Vet min for Sheed? Not happening. We're going to have to dip into a substantial amount of if not the full MLE.

[MaNu4Tres]

We need him playing defense( protecting the paint) and rebounding more than anything. If he's willing to sacrifice touches offensively I'm all for it. He's the best option via free agency to make us instantly better.

If he comes in, I suspect playing alongside Tim Duncan and having a ligament shot at a le will be enough motivation ( hopefully).

[Borosai]

If Sheed can still shoot the 3, I would sign him and trade Bonner+Oberto for another big.

Duncan, Sheed, Mahinmi, Thomas, [TRADE]

[Buddy Holly]

Could we do a sign and trade with Detroit for either Bowen or Finley's contract? I would seriously hate to use the MLE on a 35 year old Wallace.

[Steve Kerr]

Way to go out on a limb with that opinion. Even my boss would pay Sheed more than the minimum.

[MaNu4Tres]

Could we do a sign and trade with Detroit for either Bowen or Finley's contract?

Or we can sign and trade Bonner and Mason for Sheed and then offer the full MLE to Ariza and offer the LLE to Carney/ Moon/ Barnes/ Jones.

[sabar]

It is very tempting but after seeing his play in the Piston's post-season, it makes you wonder a little. I think you have to go for it, especially given the current state of our bigs.

[rayray2k8]

Damn, MB is already kicking off the offseason free agent list..
Guess it's time for us spurs fans to move on..

[Buddy Holly]

Or we can sign and trade Bonner and Mason for Sheed

I really want Finley off this team though.

[SouthTexasRancher]

I really want Finley off this team though.

Yep and about 6 or 7 other Spurs players who became ghosts. God, this is a terrible Spurs team. A real embarrassment to our 4 Championship teams.

[Avitus1]

I'd love to get him.

[Borosai]

I doubt Detroit would want to take back any players on this team (at least any players that we want to lose) in a sign-and-trade. Sheed is off their books, right? So it doesn't make sense for them.

[DPG21920]

My ideal scenario is sign Sheed using as much of the MLE as you can. It is better than Camby for the reason that the Spurs do not have to give up Hill to get him.

Then look for a big trade at the SF spot.

[Man In Black]

If he comes in, I suspect playing alongside Tim Duncan and having a ligament shot at a le will be enough motivation ( hopefully).

What is a "ligament" shot?

Are we setting up snipers to target knee ligaments?

I think the word you meant to use was "legitimate."

Wallace is still an interior post presence on both ends. Standing at the 3 point line isn't all he'll do, he'll rebound and play tough defense as well.

[MaNu4Tres]

I really want Finley off this team though.

I wouldn't mind Finley being on this team if his minutes were very limited. Hill looks more than capable to have consistent minutes at the 1 and 2 next year if he continues to work on his craft.

I really like Carney/ Moon/ Dahntay Jones or Barnes for the LLE.

My dream scenario would be to Sign Sheed for the MLE short term. Then trade Mason/ Bonner/ Bowen/ Oberto to Milwaukee for Richard Jefferson. Then sign Carney/ Moon/ Barnes for the LLE.

That would give us:

Parker/ Hill
Manu/ Finley/ Hill
Jefferson/ Carney or Moon or Barnes or Jones/ (Gist/ Hairston/ Williams)*wildcards*
Tim/ Mahimni/ Vet minimum signing/ 37th draft pick?
Sheed/ Kurt/ Vet minimum signing


Big men for the vet minimum i'd consider:
Chris Mihm
Rasho Nestorovic
Malik Rose
Melvin Ely
Theo Ratliff
Jarrod Collins
Sheldon Williams ( even though not a vet)
