man i didn't realize how average/not good rasheed's numbers have been for the past 3 years.
12.5 ppg
7.1 rpg
1.6 apg
42.8% FG%
35.4% 3p%
1.5 bpg
1 spg
i think he can still play solid d but man he really hasn't done too much for the past 3 years. maybe playing with a bunch of other old players will perk his game up
Sheed would've had a much bigger impact on the Spurs than he would with the Celtics. What Boston needed was a real inside presence, and a tall one at that. I wish the Spurs could've gotten Sheed instead, that woulda been a sight to see.
But now that its done, does Perkins go to the bench, or Sheed?

The Boston Globe and ESPN are reporting that Rasheed Wallace has agreed to a two-year deal with the Celtics, starting at around $5.5 million.
It's the perfect situation for him at this stage of his career. He's not the same player he was even two years ago. At 35, his legs are pretty much gone. His shooting proficiency has decreased the last three seasons and he's nowhere near the defender he used to be.
But in Boston, Kevin Garnett does most of the heavy lifting on defense and on the boards. Paul Pierce and Garnett draw most of the defensive attention and the way Rajon Rondo can drive and dish, Wallace will be able to do what he can still do relatively well -- drain three-pointers. He made the right choice.
same amount of money with less responsibility--don't blame him
The Celtics were a KG injury away from a championship. Why add Rasheed? They're overloaded with talent now and that will just disrupt the offense.
They probably lose Powe too.
Did you seriously just argue that Boston being overloaded with talent is going to make them worse?
Is adding Richard Jefferson overloading the Spurs with talent that will disrupt their offense?
One of an NBA season will next year be.
Yes. You are going to the finals. It's a lock. Sheed will be motivated and a beast next to your FL.
You've got about a 50% chance in the final's depending on Artest's level of crazy that week.
Also screw your team for signing one of my favorite players.
Now, yes.
Enough for a le? No.
Worse for the future, it depends what the deal is.
Why did I know Lakers Fans were gonna laugh and say all of us wanted Sheed so bad blah blah. Some of us did and some of us didn't. Pretty naive to think we were all on the Sheed wagon. I have the same question marks now as I did before on him.
Maybe some Piston fans can chime in and give us a better idea if they think Sheed is washed up or not. I didn't watch him play at all last season.
We probably won't know if we missed out on anything or not until the next season starts.
People mistake KG's insanity as intensity. KG stopped being "intense" long ago.
IMO, Rasheed is not washed up at all. He mentally checked out last season. I think he can still contribute a lot to a good team. Last year, he had no motiviation. That's an indictment on him, but it doesn't mean he can't still play. In fact, earlier in the season, against the better teams like the Lakers and Cavs, he played really well. And he still played well against younger, athletic guys like Amare and Dwight. He can still help. He has to be in the right situation where he feels comfortable and is properly motivated. And, he needs someone in the locker room and on the court who will help try to control him.
I'm more inclined to agree with this than the notion that Sheed is physically washed up. Granted he's no spring chicken, but clearly he was not laying his body on the line last season.
well celtics are clearly better than the lakers even without sheed
sheed is an upgrade. he can defend the bigs in the east well. and he is a perfect fit for that team. there wont be enough opponents for them to taunt. losing davis sort of makes this a wash move. the problem is for sheed to make an impact he needs to play more than 25 min and thats the most i see him getting. its not like kg is going to play 30 min a game right. perkins getting 25 might be bad for celtics
One thing he will 100% help you with is stopping Dwight Howard. He is so far in his head it's ridiculous.
Well anyone can stop Howard. Just send him to the freethrow line... We learned that from the Finals..
Anyways, I guess we will find out soon enough.
he has had almost the same stat line for the past 3 years.
From a Spurfan, you have to say this at this point. You know your team isn't better so you have to turn to another team and say they're better, when in fact they aren't better and they aren't worse.well celtics are clearly better than the lakers even without sheed
This helps Boston, no question. They relied on Perky too much last year even when KG was healthy. If they add Grant Hill they're a legit contender.
As long as KG is 100% then the Celtics were the best in the East and since you cleaned the Lakers clock in last year's NBA Finals I would say you were fine sticking with the Championship team. I think Ainge and Rivers are over-playing it and run the chance of too many ego's that need to be fed if things start to go South. But, we'll see. Maybe Sheed will accept coming off the bench and things will be fine. I know the Laker fans are scared to death right now. Good luck with your team and I hope we see you in the Finals!
The fact they most likely lose Powe is huge. He was big for them, but Sheed helps, really old team especially if the sign Hill. We'll have to see how they hold up through the course of the year.
Yes.
i like sheed, but i had hoped we didn't get him.
