    In the Spurs-Portland WCF in '09 I thought he was the scariest opposing player the Spurs ever faced. His turnaround jumper was simply unstoppable.

    But that was long ago and the Spurs need a center who can run, rebound and defend. He's also well past his prime.

    I just don't get the enthusiasm among Spurs fans for Rasheed at this point.

    Name a center available better?

    Gortat?

    PFFT please.

    The only thing the Spurs should say to 'sheed is this: If you come here, you're going to start. If you come here, you're getting as much money as we can give you. If you come here, we're gonna win 75 games and sweep the playoffs. If you don't commit to us right now, we're committing the money to Gortat.

    who the else is out there?

    Rasheed is proven, people are putting to much into his last season with Detroit. The guy OBVIOUSLY didnt want to be there anymore. He mailed it in for the playoffs knowing they where NOT going anywhere.

    Put him on a contender again and he will pick his game up, obviously not as good as 2005 Sheed but it will be good enough. Sheed is still a threat.

    Rasheed while at times can be a nutbag is not an idiot. He knows what the Spurs offer, he knows what the Magic offer.

    Again, I'd like to ask the Magic this question, you didn't want to go into luxury tax territory with Hedo and Gortat, you trade for Carter who makes more, and then your gonna give Rasheed the MLE!?!?

    Conflicting BS..

    While it slightly bothers me that he mailed in the rest of the season after Billups left theres something that showed me he still has it.

    That game here in SA early in the year.

    He got a technical, he got pissed then all of a sudden he balled out. He rebounded, blocked some shots, he guarded Duncan hard and well as always, and knocked down shot after shot after shot.

    He's also clutch as F.

    exactly. I think it would be hard to "mail it in" with Timmy, Tony, Manu and Jefferson on your team so Im not worried about that. The ONLY thing Im kind of concerned about is when he flips out and gets a tech, but with Pop and Timmy keeping him in check, I dont see it as an issue at all.

    Some people actually like San Antonio. I doubt they do it any more because of recent years, but Joey Crawford and his wife used to come to San Antonio all the time.

    Thats a valid enoguh excuse right?

    Alright, wich resteraunt pissed him off enough to make him hate SA then...

    Playing with Duncan will get him rolling again. Imagine a big 5 of Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Jefferson, Wallace. Just nasty, on paper that looks unbeatable assuming it happens. If they can manage to sign McDyess along with Sheed, that would be awesome. Still this is just a daydream, but it sounds like a good fit.

    Rasheed is one of Pop's favorite players in the league and he's wanted him since Pop's days back in Golden State.
    And correct me if I'm wrong, but at one point 'Sheed also said he thought Pop would be a great coach to play for...

    We just drafted a young version of 'Dice in Blair. Plus, we aren't getting them both for the LLE and MLE.

    It'll probably be:

    'Sheed
    McClinton
    Gist
    Blair

    call it an off-season.

    Take into account that he wanted to leave there during the trade deadline last season. He doesnt want to be there anymore. I honestly think a new change of scenery, especially to a true contender, would revitalize him.
    YOU BETTER BELIEVE It.

    Bottom line, Sheed makes to much damn sense to pass on if we can entice him to come.

    and sign Hairston back.

    Then call it an off season.

    Whos the one coach Sheed played for and played the best for?

    Larry Brown.

    Whos in a semi same mold? Pop.

    Rasheed responds well to coaches that garner respect.

    pop and Larry Brown garner respect.

    It's more a matter of practicality. We give you everything we possibly can, and you show us the courtesy of making a quick decision so we don't end up with our s in the wind when all the other choices have disappeared.

    I'm gonna guess Rasheed is plan A

    then a trade for Camby is plan B.

    Well, if it's really between San Antonio and Orlando then it should be a quick decision anyways.

    I hate to jinx this possibility. But give me a reason why Sheed is in San Antonio? I have a good reason. Perhaps Sheed has already made up his mind and is ahead of the game of free agency. Looking at property perhaps? The sooner he moves in the sooner he can start getting acclimated and start working out with his new teammates.

    And now I knock on wood.

    Sheed would be the perfect fit. IMO and hopefully he comes to San Antonio motivated more than ever.

    If Sheed really is here, you bet something is up. Timmy probably invited him over to to talk about the team and convince Sheed they can get another ring before Sheed rides off into the sunset. This doesn't violate NBA rules since they are friends and certainly able to visit with eachother. It should be an easy choice between SA and Magic.

    Or maybe they are just playing video games together and reminiscing about their good old college rivalry.

    While I do agree Sheed is the best fit for the Spurs in what we need and what he can provide, I really don't want him to come here because he doesn't fit the culture of the team. I hate rooting for headcase punks

    I don't think he is so bad off the court. On the court he is nuts. Which I like about him.

    Pop needs to be careful what he says to him.

    But what do you guys think about this deal. 1 year 3 million with a player option and a no trade clause.
    If they got him that cheap I'd be ecstatic.

    Orlando and San Antonio both competing for his services next year will end up in both teams offering the full MLE.

    If for some crazy reason a 1 year deal worth 3 million was the final price. I'd be more than shocked.
