Kamla is an idiot. How are the Spurs SOLID contenders when, besides Timmy, their frontcourt consists of Blair, an unproven Rookie with no ACLs, Bonner (need I say more), Ian Mahinmi (unproven), and Drew, who is a free agent. They need help. And Rasheed's agent also said "Boston wants Wallace and Wallace wants Boston." He's saying that everywhere. Rasheed wanted to be traded to SA last year, to play next to Tim, who is good friends with him. I believe IMHO that Rasheed's agent is just throwing things out there to convince SA to throw in a 3rd year on the MLE, and that would be enough for him to sign on the dotted line.
At least if Boston wins the Sheed sweepstakes he will be in the Eastern Conference and not on the Los Angeles Lakers. So if the Spurs don't win the Sheed sweepstakes, that might be a way to see it. I hope the Spurs can sign him, he is needed on this team.
Rick kamla is a re .
Starbury is not coming back to the Celtics. He was disappointed that Boston offered him the veterans minimum, $1.3 million.Maybe Rod Strickland would come out of retirement to lead them
there is always Starbury
The Celtics have asked about Tyronn Lue.
He/She was talking about my post regarding the "All-Nutty" team I believe.
Right on the moneyIt's kinda long and banal to translate it all... he was asked about Bruce too...
I have bad news for you timvp.... he said he doesn't think that Bruce is coming back to SA... and also that Fab is a very long shot...
oops
For the All-Nutty team, Starbury would be a very good candidate.
Don't worry

I'd take Nate in a fight with K.G. 8 days a week.
Nate's no joke.
Plus, K.G.'s nothing but a 7' chihuahua.
He's crafted a persona over the years that's served him quite well but in reality, he's an insecure, soft player, whose resorted to frontin' as a way to avoid being called on it.
Before Boston he was looked at as humorous, for the most part, because his talking was usually reserved for talking himself up. (telling himself how great he was) , this guy got punked by Anthony freakin' Peeler after K.G. went a little overboard with his antics. The move to Boston has just turned him into the typical punk-ass bully that looks for the weakest guy in the room.(i.e. 6' point-guards)
I'd absolutely love to see K.G. talk the way he does to someone like Nate outside of the comfort-zone of an NBA court.
This same article has been on several websites..it came out the day before Rasheed met with Boston.
+1
Jamaal Tinsley is your man!
For the record, my predictions:
Sheed to Boston
Dice to SA
Varejao stays put
Bass to Orlando (who overpay for him, of course)
Gortat to Dallas is a done deal.

I'd say the spurs are the longshot to get Wallace. Orlando then Boston then San Antonio.
Doesn't that make more sense for all teams. Spurs get a 3 pt shooting starting bigman that can stretch the floor and the Celts get a backup bigman who can do everything they want Sheed to do.

Charlotte Hasn't Contacted Iverson, Wallace
Jul 04, 2009 9:17 PM EST
Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins says that he has not contacted the agents for Allen Iverson or Rasheed Wallace.
Iverson and Wallace, who both thrived under coach Larry Brown in the past, are unrestricted free agents.
Higgins also said that the team chose not to pick up point guard Sean Singletary's $736,000 option for next season.
pretty sure this is a two horse race...He's going to Orlando..but he ain't stayin there...IMO
Bring this to SA, Sheed..
I still haven't seen anything to move Rasheed off of number one on my wish list. He's coming off a pretty bad season but not as bad as Horry in 2003. Horry looked like he was done, Lakers fan wanted him gone, a segment of Spurs fans didn't want him and league "experts" said the Spurs overpaid.
Wallace just fits the Horry role too well to not make him the number one option. Pop will use him down the stretch of big games and Wallace at worst will help more than Horry ever did during the regular season. Wallace's main negative traits -- too perimeter oriented, too much three-point shooting, questionable character, etc. -- aren't that much of a worry with the Spurs.
He's not perfect but Sheed makes a lot of sense. It sounds like Manu and TP agree, which is a good sign.
Get Sheed.
Sheed will go a long way toward allowing Duncan to cut back on minutes, maybe even alternate on a lot of back to backs. Come playoff time he won't be hobbled like he was this year.

Hold the parade
Spurs fans excited about adding Richard Jefferson and DeJuan Blair had some wind knocked out of them Thursday when the Lakers and Rockets essentially traded free agents Ron Artest and Trevor Ariza.
If the selfless Artest who led the Rockets to a near-upset of the Lakers shows up in L.A., then I’m not even sure adding Rasheed Wallace makes the Spurs capable of dethroning a healthy defending champion.
But if the selfish Artest who pouted in Sacramento and charged the stands with Indiana rears his head in L.A., then the move may not be so bad for the Spurs or the rest of the West.
Well done Blackjack. KG like to run his mouth more so than him being off-the-wall crazy like the others can be, especially K-Mart. Though he can attempt to look crazy, he's more demonstrative in his actions than truly nutty.I'd take Nate in a fight with K.G. 8 days a week.

Also agree with RuffnReadyOzStyle that Tinsley's running point. He's not scared to mix it up at any time.
As for the main topic, with the way things are developing, Sheed may be the only logical choice at this point with Gortat going off the market. I think you could have made an argument for either of them, so with one almost certainly gone I think you have to go the other. Just not sold on Dice's defense at the rim which may be that much more important if we don't strengthen the perimeter defense to keep slashers at bay.
I wouldn't say questionable character, maybe emotionally unpredictable (or nut-job if I didn't like him.), but that's pretty much the same kind of rationale I've bee spewing.
He fills the Horry role offensively, he's capable of playing an interchangeable role with Tim on the block, occasionally, and he takes pressure off of Tim defensively in the post.
He may be a little volatile and unpredictable, but he's an unselfish player who knows how to play the game and is perfectly happy playing a complimentary-role.
Bring on Roscoe!
