If it was anyone else but Tim Duncan as the leader of the team I would be very leery about bringing in 'sheed due to his perceived personality. Fiery and cantankerous to say the least. But even keel Duncan should balance him out. Game-wise they compliment each other splendidly.
I think it's asking too much for a player of his caliber to take a dramatic pay cut. Since we're already into the tax you can't pinch pennies if it means signing talent to win. You can't make an offer that would be insulting.
Sheed on the SPurs has me worried..... I hope it doesnt ing happen
Rasheed and Duncan are always talking on the court, and they seem to have a lot of respect for each other..it isn't a coincidence that Wallace's best seasons came with Larry Brown as the coach, a guy he respects a lot..he would be playing under a coach he would certainly respect, and playing with a great veteran team..
I have ZERO concerns about Wallace fitting with the Spurs..
He's a perfect fit against the Lakers, and that's obviously who we are planning against..he makes 3s consistently, which would take Gasol out of the paint, making it easier for Tony, RJ, and Manu to get inside..defense isn't a concern at all, he's still a tough interior defender, and all he needs is motivation..
It be fun and you know it.
Sheeds 3 point % was poor as of late.
I guess, but we don't need more 3 point shooters, if Sheed would concentrate on posting up and not take as many 3's i'd be all for it. I know he's old but Sheed is a beast when he posts up.
At some point we want to get some young bigs, right? Bonner sure as isn't the future. If we can move Bonner I'm all for Sheed coming in.
We do need him to be able to hit 3s to open up the paint for all this firepower we got (Parker, Duncan, Jefferson and Manu)
He definitely has motivation issues, which would be the main concern..his 3-point shooting ability is one of the main attractions though, since we obviously already have a great post-up player..
I agree that it would be nice if he mixed it up..
I can see Sheed getting under Gasol's skin easily.
Agreed. But I can also see Sheed taking some plays off and getting benched by Pop for inconsistent play.
i think in that lineup tim would be the centerParker
Ginobili
Jefferson
Duncan
Wallace
OMG
That's pretty much been my rationale.
Plus, you've got to take into consideration that the Spurs' stockpile of pressure-tested 3-point threats has taking a pretty big hit over the last couple of years.
Bowen, (likely gone) Barry, and Horry have been replaced by Mason, Finley, and Bonner. And while I do believe that Mason is capable of coming through when the chips are down, and am pretty confident with Finley hitting a clutch shot, Bonner's done nothing to have earned any such trust.
The Spurs have one guy I know can come through from 3 in the clutch, (Manu) one guy I feel can do so, (Mason) and one guy I know is capable of hitting a big-time 3, (Finley) but they can't use him as basketball's-version of a DH. (IOW, he shouldn't be on the court unless he's asked to catch and shoot, then immediately subbed out for someone to do everything else.)
Rasheed's 3 pt.% hasn't been exactly stellar lately but that doesn't take away from the fact that he does have to be respected. Plus, I have a hard time passing too much judgement on his performance from last year, at least considering all the cir stances.
Tony, Manu, and Jefferson are all slashers at heart and with Tim down in the post (even if it won't be as much as we're used to) 'Sheed spacing the floor out to 3 would be a real nice compliment.
I'm not sure if the Spurs' target is 'Sheed but hearing Pop actually say that they'd be using their "middle-class-exception" on a 4-man leads me to believe Wallace just might actually be a possibility.
I just can't get over the fact of how seemingly transparent Pop and R.C. have been in talking about what they're doing, and that the Spurs are throwing around cash like they were friends of Bernie Madoff. (Hyperbole, I know, but this is almost some straight out of the Twighlight Zone)
You could surround Tim with: Wee-Man, Guillermo, Webster, and Gary Coleman, yet he'd still be listed as the "power-forward." (Matt Bonner- Center.)
Can you change your team back to the Lakers please?
Duncan, Bonner, Sheed, Mahinmi, FA big or Oberto coming back. Not bad
You post way too many times, i see your annoying avatar and huge sig too many times during the day. First time i'm considering turning sigs and avs off.
Now that Cleveland has Shaq it seems to grease the way for Sheed to come to the Spurs...
