Everyone here who was begging for Sheed...

[NFGIII]

Have you not seen the half dozen threads on this topic?

And it has gotten two pages and most likely go to 3 or 4. This is such a waste of time.
This is

From a talent and basketball ability standpoint, Sheed >>>> Dice. The variable is always "what's going on in his head, or is anything going on inside his head?" I suppose they thought his high maintenance act was too much trouble. Who knows, though? It may have been totally different for him here. I can tell you one thing: he would NOT still be fat and out of shape come the playoffs. Mike Brungardt would have been sicced on his ass immediately upon his arrival. I'm sure Pop called LB to find out what's the recipe to motivate Sheed, and decided it was too much trouble. I'm OK with that because I think the front office knows more than I do.

Just remember to bump this thread when the Lakers front line takes a giant dump all over ours, poop.

Areed. I wanted Sheed, too. Even if he can be such a head case. And I'm glad to be wrong on that one. All I have to do is think about that Simmon's article and his hatred and disdain for Sheed in a Celtic's uniform. Makes me laugh at him and the Boston FO. Boy did they get hosed on that deal. He has done absolutely nothing for that team.

Last year he wasn't just jacking up 3's like he is this year, last season he was solid. That's why I was rooting for Spurs to get him, but why are you bringing this up now?

Matt Bonner > Sheed

Thank you Boston for grabbing both Sheed and Finley.

[SPURSCHAMP]

i wanted sheed too but thank god we didn't get him, and sense you're sig. is really distracting

[rascal]

I didn't want Wallace or McDyess. Both are over the hill players.

[tdunk21]

i wanted sheed but i accept am wrong and dice has proved me wrong...

[rascal]

go to sleep already

and yes anyone who was pushing for Sheed = full re

I wanted Sheed when the Pistons first got him. That was the time to make a move for Sheed. It would have gotten the spurs another le if they got him then.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I thought Sheed going to Boston was the best thing in the world for the Spurs. It forced the Spurs to make the correct choice and settle for Dice. Sheed's obviously extremely talented, but he only plays up to his abilities here and there, when he wants to. Like Derrick Coleman his career is a story that starts with 'could of, should of, would of...'. And I just didn't see that working real well in San Antonio alongside players like Manu and Timmy who believe in personal accountability on the floor, and play with a constant high level of effort. Sheed would have brought positives to the Spurs for sure, but with his coasting through the regular season mentality, his offensive game drifting further and further away from the basket (44% of his attempts last year were from 3. 45% this year), and his obvious at ude/maturity issues, I clearly thought Dice would be the better fit.

Hopefully he continues to play well, but even if the Spurs falter from here on out, I still clearly believe that Dice better reflects and represents the Spurs organization, it's players and it's fans.

Wow...

Well lookie here - Sheed finally had a good game. It's about time don't you think? Let's see him do the same thing against Orlando. My bet is that he won't.

Why? He's defended Howard as well as anybody for years, including this season. That's his job in this series. Do you think he won't do it now?

if spurs had kept sheed, they would hav missed teh PO for sure ...

Agreed. I'm no Sheed fan, but Sheed has completely destroyed Howard for years. He frustrates him all game long. Takes him out of the game. And while I want the Magic to win, I think Sheed will be the determining factor this series ... and Boston will eventually win largely because of his D on Dwight.

is poop a troll or just completely stupid?

seems more like an act - you've been talking crap about splitter and now random posters a year ago.. wtf?

[michaelwcho]

So did I.

Meanwhile I thought not a single one here was low on RJ in the summer(except those who thought we could get Carter with the same assets).

I was low on RJ. According to Wages of Wins, he wouldn't help the team, since he's a less efficient scorer than the people he would be taking shots away from. I bought it... and it seems to have come to pass.

I'm aware, that doesn't mean you don't start stupid threads.

[poop]

I'm aware, that doesn't mean you don't start stupid threads.

so...pointing out the fact that when everyone here was lusting after sheed and i (and a few others) were saying that hes old and washed up, and then it plays out that he infact did have an abysmal season and is in fact totally washed up just like i said to begin with is stupid?

whats your idea of a 'good thread'? do you start many? maybe you are in favor of the dozens of innovative, quality threads discussing possible trades for lebron james and trading parker?

[Doctor J]

Sheed can't defend Dirk Nowitzki.

Dice was a better choice for sure.

Dice also has been consistently healthy over the past several years.
