Rasheed to the Celtics a done deal? (Update: just a prediction)

[EricB]

Time...going by....so slowly....

Dude,

Your gonna have to play a crossword or somethin, your gonna be waitin a long time.

[Spursfan092120]

Ya'll better pace yourselves. We might not know anything for a week or more.

[Spursfan092120]

Dude,

I know. I'm gonna pull out the old NES...I feel like some Mike Tyson's Punchout.

[hater]

This thread is living proof that Celtics have no chance to get Sheed

[Spursfan092120]

Bucher thinks Gordon to Detroit will be the first move.

[EricB]

I know. I'm gonna pull out the old NES...I feel like some Mike Tyson's Punchout.

Better yet, get a Wii and play the new one.

[Spursfan092120]

Yeah, I'm likely to stop speculating on Sheed until he verbally agrees to sign with us. Then when he actually signs with us that will be great.

I love your Positive Mental At ude.

[DPG21920]

God, could Bucher and CB be further from each other. Seriously, this has to be by design. Keep everyone interested.

[EricB]

Bucher thinks Gordon to Detroit will be the first move.

Yeah gonna sign him and then shop around Rip Hamilton.

[Spursfan092120]

Yeah gonna sign him and then shop around Rip Hamilton.

yeah..I figured as much on that one. Wonder where he'll end up.

[Spursfan092120]

FA period is on...Twitter is on refresh..lol

[EricB]

Good question, I haven't really thought who would want him.

honestly if I were the Clippers I'd try to get something done for him.

[bigdog]

It's official. Free Agency has started! Now, time to wait it out and see what happens.

[montgod]

Bucher thinks Gordon to Detroit will be the first move.

Not the smartest move imo... w/Hamilton signed w/his own big contract, but pickins are slim.

[Spursfan092120]

Celtics are making a QO to Big Baby.

Clippers need to make some moves that's for sure.

[Spursfan092120]

that'd be a good addition after the pickup of Griffin...

Cue the "maybe this means they think they cannot get Sheed" talk...

[Dex]

omgnothinghashappenedyetlikewoah!!!

[EricB]

Cue the "maybe this means they think they cannot get Sheed" talk...

IMO its standard procedure.

[Spursmania]

Boozer and Okur will stay with Jazz.

[Blackjack]

It really does come down to who he thinks he will A) have a more important role with and B) who he has a better chance of winning a le with.

The Spurs made a ton of moves to make them a better team on paper and Sheed would only make them even better in the video games and such. But when you look at the West you have strong teams upon strong teams to go through, while the East has 3 maybe 4 teams to play against.

I think Sheed would almost make us a lock to be on top of the pre-season power rankings but he has the option to sign with us or not.

I see the Spurs as making significant, good, moves to put them back into the le picture but 'Sheed being that final hole to be filled in order to actually win it. 'Sheed could essentially be the difference-maker for the Spurs, so I'm not sure how much more significant of a role any contender out there could give him.

With Garnett and Perkins, it's not even a given he'd be best starting.

As for the West v. East, I disagree.

Other than the Lakers, I don't see a championship-winning squad. There's a very good team in Denver, an up-and-coming team in Portland, and then some former western-powers in decline or transition. With the Spurs' moves, they seem to be the only credible challenge in the short-term.

The East's perpetual also-rans like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Philly are all on the rise and the strength of the conference, Cleveland, Boston, and Orlando, gives the East one more legit le-contender than the West.(L.A. and S.A.)

I could easily argue that the playoff gauntlet to a le in the East is just as dicey a proposition.

What in the world are you talking about?

In the West there is LA, maaaybe Denver.

In the east right now you have to go through Boston, Cleveland, and Orlando.

The calculus is pretty simple there.

[lefty]

Whatever happens, Sheed will have this to say about Spurs and Celtics:


" Both teams played hard "

[robert1886]

bucher just said that supposely rasheed does not wanna talk to anyone till tom.
