Mark my words, we DO need a gangster on this team.
He really needs to fall out with the 3 aswell, needs to go back to the post.

Ssrving as a mentor is great (and I mentioned that being one of Wallace's unheradled attributes in another thread). However I want any player that the Spurs pick up to be able to give consistent production on the court, also.
I would take Sheed if the Spurs could move Bonner and/or Oberto for another young PF/C. Otherwise, the Spurs would just get older and not solve all their frontline problems.
Sheed would instantly improve our frontline without adding a young big man.
Yes, but where's the depth? Mahinmi is still an unknown. If he doesn't deliver, the Spurs will be in trouble again without any depth.
Tim/ Sheed/ Kurt/ Mahimni/ Vet minimum to Melvin Ely/ Malik Rose/ Theo Ratliff/ also the 37th second round pick? or even Gist
Duncan & Sheed = Best Frontcourt in the NBA
Parker & Ginobili= Best backcourt in the NBA
Damn.
Who plays the 3?
Bowen? Mason? Finley?
as I said many times..the key is balance here..we need young guys to balance out the age of Duncan and Wallace..
Ian COULD be one..who is the other? Bonner?..
My priority number one is find a wing, via trade or free agency.
If we can get that wing via trade, I hope Jefferson, I'm all for signing Wallace.
If we can't get a wing via trade I hope we use the MLE on a wing
yeah i know especially after the young guys were so great in the playoffs. bonner and mason especially! dude the best players were still tim tony and bruce. mainly old fellas
if we got sheed, it would be da coolest!
From Marc Stein today:
http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126628From the veterans' committee, as stated here previously, Rasheed Wallace is said to have interest in both Dallas and San Antonio as a free-agent destination.
come on in for 1.8 mill Sheed.
Sign Antonio with the MLE then onward and upward.
That would put the Spurs well over the luxury tax. Not to mention I highly doubt Sheed would play for ~4M less than McDyess.
finley will most likely opt out from the spurs telling him too and would avoide the spurs from going over the luxary cap but still would be way under again if the cap will increase quite a little this summer
sheed could get the LLE for one year
if he wants to win a championship i dont believe the 8 million a year crap
and go after a 3 with our MLE Artest,Ariza someone to replace bruce who I predict will be probably traded or going to retire
How many people actually watched Sheed play this year? From what I saw, he has slipped a notch, he's 35, he's still volatile (lots of techs this season), and he spent the last 1/3 of the season injured. Have we not learned anything? Do we really want to give a roster spot to yet another old geezer?
If he signs dirt-cheap, fine, but spending more than 2mil on Sheed would be a mistake.
Buying low is always a safe assessment.
All the tech talk only proves he still has desire to win.
Taking this season into perspective, he had to deal with roster mistakes of paramount proportions.
Bottom line is that he's still very effective and there aren't many available bigs who can give what he can. Additionally, the only help he had on that front line was Dice. Tim and Sheed compliment each other offensively, plus he plays really good defense.
We do need youth on the frontline, but I don't know where we'll find that sort of need which will be effective enough to really help this team with the window it has. So it's best to hope for Ian, and if we can find something else aside from Ian, then so be it. As of right now, if he's not completely out of our range, i'd do it.
Seeing as there is not a plethora of young bigs to sign, then yes you DO sign him.
New scenery, newer and better team, more motivation.
The way I see it, it's either Sheed or overseas for our next big.
I agree. The only way I wouldn't go after him is if we trade for a young better post player.
But if we go into free agency without any additions via a trade, then we have to offer him the MLE for one year. There's not a better option in the free agent pool.
I prefer overseas, but... Feed the SHEED!!!!!!!!
And to whoever dissed Mason and Bonner, using Matt isn't fair, he'll be a choker at any age, Mason I can't defend. Plus, TP and Timmy were the Big 2, they ing better show up in the POs, until they're 35. Around then they can start mailing in the reg season like Horry did. And you forgot Hill. He showed up for Gm 5, even if he didn't make a big splash, what do you expect from a rookie who was in his first playoff series, and wasn't really used the prior 15 or so games, because his coach didn't believe in him?
