He's probably referring to seeing Matt Bonners name still on the roster lol
In his presser, Sheed said after the season ended early for them, he was thinking about teams he would go to. San Antonio, Dallas, Orlando, Cleveland, Boston..
He then talked about how the Boston team showed up and talked to him and his wife, then (later) they made their decision.
The real curious comment was a follow-up question regarding what helped make his decision. He said (paraphrased) he thought about San Antonio but that he wasn't that enthused about some of the moves they made to their roster.
???
What moves specifically were not mentioned. I wonder if he has an issue with RJ? Bowen leaving? Hmmm.

hes pissed about Finley being back....
Competing with Haislip for minutes scared him off.
That's...odd.
Maybe RJ for KT, Oberto, and Bowen = less touches for Sheed?
I was gonna do this:, but on second thought, that might really be the reason. I guess he forgot about Scalabrine!
I'm guessing he's not a Richard Jefferson fan. Not sure what else it could be.
Oh well. I'd rather have McDyess with a third-year non-guaranteed than Wallace with a third-year player option.
Sheed's an idiot.
That would have been such a sick lineup.
That crossed my mind as well. Especially after Rasheed's quote last year of the Pistons gameplan against the Spurs being "give it to whoever Bonner is guarding"
Hmm interesting. Maybe he wanted Vince Carter on the team.
I wonder what moves he is talking about.
So was he still the Spurs number 1 target or what? A lot of people said Boston's recruiting was too desperate and the Spurs approach was better, but it seems they were wrong and Rasheed really liked the Celtics hard push to get him. I really expected the Spurs to be there at 12:01am to talk to him, unless they didn't really want him that bad I don't know why they didn't.
That's okay. It's not a Spurs Championship unless somebody hits a game-winning three in Sheed's grill.
On a more serious note, the Spurs picked up Blair and RC was talking about 20 minutes a night for him immediately. Maybe Rasheed saw that cutting into his PT.
How can it be bonner when Sheed coming here would have negated Bonner???
I wish Sheed the best, and he would have been great for the Spurs, but now it's it's time to move on.
What's more, Dice is better for the Spurs than Sheed. It's that simple.
Also, Sheed is trying to rationalize the fact that he WANTED TO GO GO BOSTON, and he did so, and that's that.
But all of sudden, Sheed is a GM, an expert on Spurs players?
Excuses. Sheed, you wanted to go to Boston, and it fits you more personality wise, and that's fine (because Pop would have only tolerated your at ude to a degree).
But quite simply, the Spurs are better off WITHOUT Sheed than they ever would have been WITH him.
So thanks Sheed, for being the blessing in disguise.
Most likely explanation is the Spurs weren't willing to give Wallace a third year player option and he had to come up with an excuse on the fly.
Wow, this could get ugly.. About a week ago, people were begging this guy to come. Now, I can see the majority of the spurs fans will on this guy.
My, how quickly people can turn on you.
i thought about it too, but really, i can't imagine Sheed afraid by the Bigs compe ion for a spot on the spurs rotation. not with mahinmi, Blair (2 young unproven) and Bonner as compe ors.
I think Sheed would have fit in the system. I doubted his ability to play within the system. Perhaps him going to Boston was a blessing in disguise. After all, McDyess has impeccable character and work ethic.
no more love for sheed? i doubt he cares about playing time or touches seeing as he didn't in Detroit
I'm not an extremely vocal member on these forums, but I stated from the beginning that I hoped we never sign Sheed. Dyess on the other hand is so perfect for our team. I'm elated. And I didn't change my opinion
really ? maybe. but i wouldn't have been shocked if he simply said he had a better offer from Boston, or Boston was his first choice stuff like that.
Usually, when you say thing like this ("i didn't like some of their moves"), you have a specific idea. don't know.
Very odd comments indeed, especially since so many fans and critics alike were talking about how the Spurs were having the best offseason so far.
haha I'm not mad at Sheed, I'm just bummed about what could have been
Can you imagine Sheed during a media interview when the natl. media is traditionally ting on the Spurs!?!? That's the kind of stuff I have been dreaming of
Damn sucks that we didn't land Sheed, but hey McDyess will be great for us anyway. Rasheed is crazy to think it was roster moves that made him not wanna come to SA, imo iI think he just made that up. Oh well, when you have KG, Ray, Paul and Danny Ainge basically kissing his ass and sucking his pinga, I guess he gave in. He'll regret it though, come June, when Dyess and Duncan are hoisting that trophy in front of him.
