yah thats what i heard that the spurs offered gortat the whole MLE, while boston was dealing with sheed.but now gortat might go to dallas the spurs can change there whole focus to sheed.
Cleveland isn't a bad city.... there is a 100 mile radius around Lebron where the streets turn to gold and midgets jump out and start spanking people with oversized lollipops.
I am sure Sheed is soaking this whole experience in, taking his time. This is the last time he will be the prettiest girl in the room. After this it is c section scars and bullet wounds, can't even give away a lap dance.
CIA POP should put sheed to the waterboard interrogation....
Pop should be in France between July 5th and July 11th for a basketball camp organized by TP.
If Sheed comes to SA next week, I damn hope Pop will be there and not in France.
Damn, I forgot about that.
Pop definitely needs to cancel . . .
I guess that could explain why rwallace was down here last week before FA started to meet pop. Even though pop is no longer the GM and so has nothing to do with FA, it still seems weird he would agree to be overseas during such a crucial time unless it was already a forgone fact who we have.

Magic Contact Rasheed's Agent
Jul 03, 2009 3:18 PM EST
The Magic have contacted free-agent forward Rasheed Wallace's agent.
Orlando general manager Otis Smith was in contact with agent Bill Strickland on Friday, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Wallace doesn't have a plan to visit Orlando, but Smith said that "it was possible" at some point. The general manager believes that Wallace would be a nice "fit" alongside Dwight Howard, but said "it just depends on what Rasheed wants to do."
This makes me a bit nervous, because reports yesterday said that he had plans to visit San Antonio and Orlando - and this report is actually from the GM of the Magic saying that the visit wasn't planned but is possible. I'm hoping that the report yesterday wasn't completely false.
Here's a question-- In the various Artest threads, he is being called a chucker by many posters. Artest, as a combo forward, shot 40.1 FG% last year and 39.9 3PT%. Rasheed, as a PF/C, shot 41.9 FG% and 35.4 3PT%. (Incidentally, Rasheed's FG% is lower than Michael Finley's). Would it be fair to say Rasheed is a chucker at this point in his career?
If Rasheed and Pop met before free agency started it's tampering. You can't talk to another team's free agents before free agency starts.
Relax
You'll read 1000000 different things over the upcoming days
Rumors, BS, anything...
Pop agreed to go in France for that basketball camp in April.
Maybe Pop will be in the camp for 2 or 3 days and not the whole week
If Sheed comes to SA . . .
And if Sheed gets a three year deal . . .
And if Sheed helps them win le No. 5 . . .
Spurs fans will still be calling for his miserable scalp in the third year of that deal, despite anything that he did before.
Timmy needs to greet him with his four rings on.
Sheed is a little too in love with his 3 pointer these days, but I wouldn't consider him a chucker. Damn near half his shots are from 3 and that skews his overall fg% alot. He was 48% on 2's.
Boston showed there hand and panicked .... out of desperation they sent evreybody TO SHEEDS HOUSE lmao....... as always the Spurs are COOL under pressure..... "The sign of a Championship orginization" Sheed iz coming HERE!!! he is coming to visit US for the same $5.8 mle... Three reasons sheed iz a spur next week 1. "99 memorial day miracle "what team and what person? 2. 2003 game 5 playoff's what team what person? 3. Carolina connection what two people what two schools? Hey!! you never see a Rolls Royce comercial do you? You only see Comercials for cars everyone can buy, when your product sell's it self there iz no need to advertise I hope y'all understand why he iz coming here.............. oh and did I forget Pop !?!
NBA.com has his 2pt% at 47.1%. I don't consider him a chucker per se, but it was kind of shocking to see that his FG% was lower than Finley's. I think his infatuation with the 3 is also one of the reasons his offensive rebounding numbers are down too... he averaged 0.8 offensive rebounds a game last year. Bonner averaged 1.2 per game, and he played 8 fewer minutes per game.

maybe just three. might not want to remind sheed about 05.
Report: Rasheed Wallace agent Bill Strickland thinks Boston Celtics would be a good fit
by The Republican Sports Desk Friday July 03, 2009, 2:53 PM
Associated Press file photoRasheed Wallace ... charg .... er .... shoots over the Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce during a game when Sheed played for the Portland Trail Blazers. Comcast SportsNet's Gary Tanguay continues to stay on top of the Celts' courtship of Wallace, and on Friday he talked with agent Bill Strickland.
It's Fourth of July weekend, but National Basketball Association big man Rasheed Wallace may be closer to trading in the red, white and blue colors of the Detroit Pistons for a bit o' the Boston Celtics green.
Comcast SportsNet's Gary Tanguay continues to stay right on top of the story of the Celtics' pursuit of Wallace, a 6-foot-11 power forward and newly minted free agent. He spoke on Friday with Sheed's agent, Bill Strickland, who had all sorts of very interesting things to say, the complete version of which you can access by clicking here.
Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reported on Friday that Strickland said he and Wallace discussed contract terms with the Celtics, but that Wallace is in no rush to sign.
Here are a few of the key points that Bill Strickland, the agent for Rasheed Wallace, made in the interview with Comcast SportsNet's Gary Tanguay:
Danny Ainge wanted to show up on Rasheed's doorstep Wed. Night at midnight...which is when the free agent signing period began. Wallace told Danny that was not necessary so team green flew out Thursday instead.Unless Strickland's in some fantasy land, sounds like the C's were eager with a capital E-A-G-E-R to get to Wallace first. Talk about a lousy poker face. Strickland also told Tanguay:
The way Doc (Rivers, Celtics coach) handled the three egos of the big three has not gone unnoticed by Rasheed. Doc is well respected by players throughout the NBA.NBA fans should all be convinced that with the right players, Doc Rivers can get it done. Even after the loss of key 2008 championship contributors P.J. Brown and James Posey, Doc had the Celtics on the way to the NBA's best record and a likely rematch with the Lakers, and despite the loss of probably the biggest of the Big Three, he led the C's through a decent playoff run.
Now here's the statement Strickland made that Celtics fans might want to meditate on:
Despite his reputation in Boston Rasheed is an unselfish teammate and would fit great with the big three.If that's true, maybe Sheed, despite the fact that he'll be 35 when the 2009-10 season opens, might have a couple of years of rejuvenated effectiveness left in him. If the Celtics are really that serious about getting him, C's fans should all hope so.
Ahem... maybe just two.
im pretty sure that ducks could have coached the Cs to a le as long as Thibodeau was the assistant.Report: Rasheed Wallace agent Bill Strickland thinks Boston Celtics would be a good fit

True to that
just read jeanie bus twitter, phil is coming back
that and the artest deal put together will hopefully be the tipping point to landing rasheed wallace
OMG(sarcasm)
Seriously, Phil is an attention
Yawn
would they really let Odom walk to get sheed? Wouldn't they need to? If I were a Lakers fan I would be sort of upset, obviously we want sheed, but LA really?
