This, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard

Everyone is acting so negative towards what happened with Corey Maggette last season. I think Maggette pulling out was a blessing in disguise if you as me. We would not have traded for Richard Jefferson this offseason and Maggette would not have won us a le with all the injuries we had last year. All that would have happened is our assists as a team would be last in the league. I'm happy he pulled out because now our team is better then it would have been with him on it.

Whether Rasheed "pulls out" or not, we will have to look at the bright side, maybe something in the future will be better because of this?

[exstatic]

Yes, trade Perkins to us...lol.

Perkins is a stupid punk poser who thinks he's an All Star when he's pretty much just a serviceable big man in this league.

8P/8r ain't gettin' you into the HOF, Kendrick.

It is Wednesday, midnight....if it was tomorrow, it'd be Thursday midnight..lol

Today is Tuesday...I'm confused.

[vander]

Wait is tonight the night? I though at Wednesday, Midnight FA started?

the midnight hour is in the AM

[smrattler]

Ok, what are we doing, staying up all night till ESPNN breaks Spurs news tonight?

Pop's in bed, Tim crashed on the beach... not happening tonight.

Yet I can't turn it off.

[Spursmania]

I wouldn't worry about hanging on every word from different analysts. What we know is that Sheed is drawing interest from all the le contenders and that no one contender has greater financial leverage than the other.

You might end up disappointed if you have the Sheed or bust mentality though. There are a few quality free agents out there and the Spurs have already expressed a willingness to spend up to their full MLE...they'll get someone and improve the team.

That's true, but damn it would be exciting to get Sheed.

[Mugen]

if sheed decides to go to boston, then i am wrong and he probably wasn't smart enough to be a spur anyways.

Eastern time its wednesday.

Midnight eastern time.

God.

[mytespurs]

yes...exactly...Sheed on our frontline puts us even with LA, IMO. Lineup would be

Tony
Manu
RJ
Sheed
Duncan...

Not sure how Lakers can compete with that.

It seems to me the key will be IF both Manu and Duncan come back healthy. Until we know that for sure, Lakers are still the favorites even if Sheed joins the Spurs.

[Ice009]

Its 45 minutes in.

Pushing for an answer at 11:45 at night his time would be rediculous.

OK, I didn't mean right now man. Can we wait the full 8 days with out a verbal agreement?

[exstatic]

Its midnight eastern time right now.

Yes it is.

[4RINGS]

Who has more CASH to throw at Sheed? Boston or SA??? Its going to come down to $$$$

Haha, me too. I need to go though...later guys. High hopes for Wallace!

[EricB]

Yes, but it isn't 1 July anywhere in the US, yet.

grr....

[EricB]

Both can only offer the MLE.

Its gonna come down to his preference.

[exstatic]

grr....

Check my quick edit!!

[Thompson]

Cavs looking for a big wing so James can move to the pf position.

Then whoever he chooses to go with is who he believes has the best chance at winning the Championship.

hmm...so Simmons' "Childress to Cleveland" idea has some merit.

[DPG21920]

You know another ring is still a very small possibility if we're this dependent on rasheed freaking wallace to round out our roster.

This is the truth I do not think people are realizing. The Spurs have made some great moves, but they still need a significant piece or two to be able to compete with the Lakers and Orlando.
