Rasheed wanted to win a ring. So he went to the Celtics.

Hard to believe there's still people upset that we didn't sign Wallace. This is getting old and boring already.
From his statements about the spurs it is clear he has some extreme distaste for the spurs. Undoubtedly because of the history of game winning shots that were executed on his by past spur teams (Sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_, Robert Horry, etc). Wallace to me is the type that will hold a grudge forever. He certainly wouldn't have given it a 100% for the spurs. But he probably would have gladly milked the spurs out of millions if they would have been foolish enough to offer it.
Also, is it not obvious yet that the guy does not want to have the responsibility of being one of the main guys anymore? He wants a small role off the bench, thus why he avoided SA and joined the Celts. He knows his game is deteriorating, and if the last few playoff series are any indication, he has no heart either. He is going to quit as soon as the going gets tough and go suck his thumb in the corner. His shooting% has been in a downward spiral for 3-4 years now and he is increasingly content with sitting out on the perimeter now when he should be be mixing it up in the paint.
So la-dee- ing-da he can hit a 3 at 35% the spurs have 6-7 other guys that can do that. Last I checked you don't get a bonus point for being over 6'10".
Lets not even get into the potential problems he could cause with his tantrums and mood swings. Popovich and him would have been at each other's throats by the all-star game for sure. It was a nightmare waiting to happen and thankfully, the F.O. obviously was leery of it and recognized the risks of Wallace were far > rewards.
Celtics are getting a little long in the tooth, Rasheed just makes them even older. I don't see them getting past the Cavaliers or the Magic this year.
That's what Holt said.Hard to believe there's still people upset that we didn't sign Wallace. This is getting old and boring already.
Honestly, I think Sheed is just trying to save face!. Spurs did not fall madly in love with him and the Celtics did. He chose the place which showed more interest. Obviously Sheed to the Spurs is a good fit and he knows that. However Sheed wants to broadcast it this way so it seems he had control.

Obviously, the F.O. didn't think he was a 'good fit'
On Sheed's original comments money being equal, He probably thought it'd be an easier road to the finals with Boston than San Antonio. With us, we'd still have to contend with the Lakers, sucks too, because he would of been great against them. With Dallas too. Put him on Nowitski.
I disagree because they would not have setup a visit with Sheed. Dice has a partial guarantee third year, quite role player and is a pick n pop player. Those things probably may have got SA attention more than Sheed. This doesn't mean Sheed wasn't a good fit it just means they like someone a little better.
Sheed made one vague comment about the Spurs' offseason moves so far.....I'm not sure that merits quite so much hate.
Spurs fans trying to make themselves feel better. Although I think McDyess was a good pick up, I for one think it would of been better to have Sheed when it really counts vs LA and to a lesser extent Dallas in the POs.
Wallace went to Boston, McDyess came to San Antonio. Over. Done.
Move on.
Oh my god, you people need to let this go.
The whole point of message boards/forums is for conversation either factual or hypothetical. Besides it wasn't that long ago that we signed McDyess... So even though it's over, it's not far removed... If that's the way it's gonna be than we shouldn't mention any of the spurs championships in any conversation, because they are over and done too. 1999 is so distant know... 2007, oh we still had Horry... Where's that guy now??? (sarcasm)
As far as what each one can/could have offered the Spurs, Sheed has a higher ceiling. I think with the team personality of the Spurs, Sheed would probably have been inspired to deliver when it counts...but there would have been no guarantee, and if his at ude went south, the results wouldn't be pretty. With Dice, OTOH, I have absolutely no doubt that he'll leave everything he has on the floor, every single game this season. Sheed's got more talent, but I think Dice is a better fit for SA.
Oh well. Wish him the best.
Expect when we see your ass twice this year and the off chance we see you in the Finals. Then you can go f yourself.
Hey I was one who wanted him here, but if he has problems with this roster, than screw him! It's been one of the best off-seasons for the Spurs ever. I trust RC and Pop based on their resume versus Sheed any day.Wow, this could get ugly.. About a week ago, people were begging this guy to come. Now, I can see the majority of the spurs fans will on this guy.
My, how quickly people can turn on you.
And twice on Game 7 days in the Finals.
Its not hard to figure out the animosity towards Wallace fellas.
If he's not with us, then he's against us. Its called the bunker mentality. Us against the world.
So the fact that said meeting never took place doesn't matter? We were speculating last weekend that perhaps the Spurs were the ones that told Rasheed to go ahead and sign with Boston. Besides, there weren't any personnel changes made between the time 'sheed agreed to visit and the time he committed to the Celtics. His comments were most likely just a way to explain it away and save face.
Hard to figure out what Rasheed was thinking about when he made that comment.
I mean, he must have thought long and hard about coming to San Antonio right? Either that or he got high and flipped a coin.
Simply put he backed the wrong horse.
Its funny how everyone hates him now...
At this point, who cares
