They were in the same position last year for Corey Maggette also.
He seems the think the Spurs are the current "leader in the clubhouse" in the Rasheed sweepstakes. I guess we'll soon find out.

Come on Sheed!!!! Do the right thing. Dont pull a Maggette.
Bucher seems to believe that Celts are the leaders, and the the constant persuaing of KG is the reason why... i'm praying we get him... can you imagine Tony Manu RJ Timmy Sheed
If I was abetting man I would say he lands in Boston.
Well, considering the two teams with cap room this summer are Detroit and Portland, and they've both seen his act, I'd say it looks like it's coming down to MLEs, and I like our chances. We only lost Maggette because GS suddenly had cap room because B-Diddy bolted.
almost everybody on this board knew that our hope for maggette was tied to him not getting any offers bigger than the MLE. we believed that we had a good shot if all the offers were roughly equal. but that was a small possibility for him in last year's market.
this year, it's a high probability that sheed doesn't get any offers that are more than what the Spurs will put out there for him. he'll get pretty much the same contract offer from every team, it will just come down to personal preference.
Exactly. This is clearly not the same situation. However, I am not holding my breath. I do not know what it would take all things being equal to get Sheed. Perhaps a few teams (Cavs, Magic) decide to go after other players (Charlie V...) and then it will come down to wether or not the Spurs and the Celtics want to offer the full MLE and for how many years.
Whatever happens, Sheed will have this to say about Spurs and Celtics:
" Both teams played hard "
I'd like to have the same optimisim but I think Boston is gonna swipe it away.
Same old off-season story. Believe it when I see it.
As of 12:01, Varejao declined his option and became a FA...hmm...
So do we call Sheed the MLE Cinderalla of the NBA free agency ball?![]()
This was fully expected.
i fail to see why anyone thinks Sheed would be a good fit for the Spurs. talented, yes. but he just does not have the personality of a Spur. not in my eyes.
Won't find out anything tonight....Bucher says Sheed isn't taking midnight calls, which means he's not making midnight deals.
Ah..Bucher said Sheed won't stay AWAKE for midnight calls..that doesn't mean he won't take any. GET ON THE PHONE, POP!!
No, because we'd never find glass slippers big enough to fit his big ass feet.
I might have agreed with you, pre RJ trade, but SA is a LOT younger team than Boston at this point. We offloaded 37,37, and 34, and brought aboard 29. ALL of Boston's principal players are on the wrong side of 30, but SA has Parker and RJ younger than 30.
, pop is probobly in bed right now also.
While true, KG badgering him about coming to Boston makes things different.
It would be nice if Duncan was doing the same.
He might be, who knows.
Not staying up past midnight sounds like a Spurs personality to me...
I wouldn't go that far.
If you can't get him go for Dyess, if you can't get him go for ZaZa.
