Is Sheed now a go with Blair?

[EricB]

Whos going to offer him more money than the MLE that has the room though?

Dice>Sheed

[SenorSpur]

Parker/Hill/Mcclinton
Mason/Manu/Hairston
RJ/Bowen/Gist
TD/Blair/Bonner
Sheed/Mahinmi/Oberto

that's my ideal roster for next year, assuming Fin don't pick up his option.

Don't count on Oberto coming back. I remember reading something posted here yesterday where he's supposedly going to play in Europe next year.

Darryl Watkins?

[HarlemHeat37]

It looks like it's going to come down to Spurs vs. Magic vs. Cavs for Wallace(or retirement of course)..does anybody believe Cleveland or Orlando will offer more than the MLE?..

I don't know, but if you disagree with my pessimism, you should try to be more reassuring.

[mingus]

that wasn't happening with Larry Brown at coach, he along with the rest of the team had no respect for Curry and Flip. Sheed couldn't get away with that in SA

plus, he's already stated his interest to play for Pop and with Timmy

i'v never heard that he's said he wants to play with Pop and Timmy ... do you have the article or quotes ?

besides the questions concerning his motivation there's the issue of having two starting bigs 34+ years iby the time the playoffs start if the spurs were to get him ... pass. GET YOUNGER.

Dice>Sheed

I agree. But I would love either.

I think everyones hopes are extreamly high because of the RJ trade the Blair steal. I would give less then 20% chance that we land either of these guys in FA. We will get someone but I dont think it will be Sheed or Dice, as much as I want it to be.

I like it. I don't think Oberto will be back though. I'm still not sure on how Pop will feel having a second year PG and a rookie PG as backups. Hopefully the Bucks buyout Kurt Thomas and we can get him back.

McClinton is not a point guard. He's a shooter, but a shooter who can shoot off the dribble, drive, and maybe defend both guard positions well.

The Spurs need a defensive 5 who can run and rebound. Rasheed Wallace is not that player.

A better fit would be Marcus Camby or, ideally, Tiago Splitter.

So when Camby goes down in November for 3 months cause of a broken whatever, then what?

[4RINGS]

Sheed can start NOW, Blair is unproven,so POP will not count on Blair right away.

[Mugen]

Sheed fills the Spurs need more than any other available big out there.

Sheed might not be the shot blocker/rebounder than camby is but he is a better post defender and can stretch out the D.

Gortat might be younger and safer but he doesnt have half the talent sheed does, even at his age.

Same goes for the pachulia, collison, wilcox, gooden group.

Sheed is the answer and the #1 priority. Those other guys would offer a small consolation if we cant get him.

[Mr. Body]

Wallace would completely go against what the Spurs have been about over the years. he loses his head time and time again in games, and he's basically not motivated anymore. the only thing that motivates him anymore is money apparently; he said it himself. The Spurs are all about keeping under control and playing your ass off. and he's old. him.

Don't be such a nancy boy. Sheed wants to win. That's why he's such a prick sometimes.

[Bruno]

I take one Sheed over ten Gortats.

[Mr. Body]

I take one Sheed over ten Gortats.

Gortat shouldn't even be discussed if Sheed is available.

[4RINGS]

I agree, what is with all the Gortat love...

[Tully365]

Rasheed can be a handful, but if Pop's willing to take it on, it's hard to argue against the move. His stats have stayed stable for the past three or four years, so I don't think there's the danger of him suddenly entering a Ben Wallace--like period of decline. if the Spurs win a le with him, he gets to brag about a legacy of helping bring les to two teams in his first year with them.

[Spurs Brazil]

I don't like Gortat game. I hope the Spurs are not looking to sign him
