well if this happens then it would be the best. we dont have to give up our young guys and we get sheed. this is an even bigger pipedream than trading for sheed.
The only way this happens is if the media keeps playing up and vocally critique the out of the piston's struggles, we need sheed to listen to the media and ask for a buyout... Call the media! lol... wish they played orlando and boston before sunday and extended that to a 10 game losing streak in time for the march 1st deadline

Maybe he can get into it again in tomorrow's night game, maybe a towel in the face of Curry???? Please Sheed, do it for another ring!!!
The dream is alive. Even if we don't get him now, when he's a free agent after the season, it's a good chance he'll sign with us.
Doubt this will happen during the season.. Maybe next time.
He wouldn't act that way if he came to the Spurs. Oh, and remember the difference in the way Dennis Rodman acted when he was a Spur compared to when he got to the Bulls?
Rasheed isn't like Rodman at all, not even close..I haven't heard about ANYTHING involving Rasheed in Detroit, so why would it happen here? with that being said, we'll probably have to wait until July or August..
There is a strong possibility that they won't even make the playoffs.
I know, even though the dynamics of the situations are different, the principle is the same. That was the point I was trying to make.
Detroit couldn't possibly buy him out. That would ensure the team's collapse.

Commentary: Pistons need to cut Rasheed Wallace
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Terry Foster
We are watching a full-blown meltdown of the Detroit Pistons. And the blame should rest with team president Joe Dumars.
Rasheed Wallace throws a towel at a referee. Rip Hamilton is chirping up, saying he should be starting again. Allen Iverson is out with a back injury and rookie coach Michael Curry has no idea what is going on. And did I mention that the Pistons have lost eight games in a row and there is no help in sight?
There are a few things that need to happen. Even though the NBA is not going to suspend Wallace, the Pistons should after the latest meltdown. He lost his composure again during a 90-87 loss to New Orleans and topped it off by throwing a towel toward an official.
The Pistons should suspend Wallace. It is time for Dumars to make a statement about Wallace. He is lost and there is no reaching out to him. I would not mind if Dumars decided to release Wallace and say so-long. It is time for his ride to end.
I am tired of Wallace. You are tired of Wallace, and if they were honest with themselves, the Pistons would admit they are tired of Wallace. He had his day here. He helped win a le. Now it is time for him to move on. He has worn out his welcome.
Of course, it is easy to blame everything on Sheed or Iverson or Curry. But Dumars must take the greatest share of the blame for this season. He has ruined this team. He created a team with bad chemistry and one with a bad mix. People want to blame Iverson for the Pistons' woes. But Iverson is simply doing what Iverson does.
The day he stepped into the league from Georgetown, Iverson was a player who demanded the ball and dominated the ball. A leopard does not change his spots.
Let me give you an illustration. If you captured a wild animal, such as a lion, and brought it back to your house and tried to make it a pet, there is a high probability that you would fail. Eventually, the lion would maul you.
Now whose fault is that? It's not the lion's fault. The lion is simply doing what lions do.
The same thing has happened with the Pistons. Iverson is an untamed player who demands the ball. That has not changed, nor will it change.
Dumars waited too long to do a makeover of this team. That is why we are seeing a meltdown now. It will only get worse if Sheed is allowed to stay in that dressing room. It is time to cut ties now.
Yeah Detroit! Sheed is terrible! Cut him!
If a Detroit beat writer thinks that Pistons should buy out Sheed, maybe this scenario isn't as crazy as it seems.
And in the unlikely case of Sheed being waived before the end of the month, Spurs won't be the only team interested. You could end up with a nightmare scenario of Sheed going to another contender.

Cut Sheed only if he signs with the Spurs.
I don't want him bought out if he's not signing with us.
I don't really see any other possibility, other than coming to the Spurs..MAYBE Boston, but they just signed Moore this week..he seems to like the Spurs, and he always interacts a lot with Tim on the floor..
We need the media to hype this up, we need to get on his webpage and make him understand lol
Your crazy dudeI don't want Sheed
As we well know, you can always count on Sheed to provide a knuckle-headed play at a pivotal moment.
He'd be a huge improvement over what we got now obviously, but he plays like such a weed-hound at times. I think he's a more than a bit over-rated.
If he gets cut he'll go to the Spurs. Most other contenders are set...
Lakers depth and chemistry is good enough obviously they wouldn't screw that up
Boston is gonna get Marbury and hope that adds the depth they needed on there bench, plus they just signed Mikki Moore.
If its gonna be anyone but the Spurs it would be Cleveland but I just don't see that happening. Oh well this is just wishful thinking, hopefully he throws more at Michael Curry.
I don't know if this buyout will happen. It would only make the Pistons worse than they already are.
Might as well keep him and Iverson until season's end
He already said that he wanted to play for the Spurs.
That's what'll happen most likely.
I think the Spurs could live with the knuclehead play once in a while. I've read that Rasheed is actually a great teammate and very unselfish. Unlike in Detroit where I'm sure he feels the pressurre as one of the main men, in SA he would simply be a role player and Pop would make sure he understood his role - no coach is better than Pop at doing this.. being on a winning team and with a proud legacy will do wonders for his at ude IMO.. having said all that, I don't think he'll be a Spur anytime soon.. maybe next season..
+1
Commence countdown to "Sheed to the Lakers rumors"...........
