Rasheed Wallace 

Post#1 » by Shemy » Mon Mar 9, 2009 7:54 am

Rasheed is a FA this summer

What are the possibilities that we can sign him????

and would you want to sign him to a one year deal?

Rasheed is one of the best guys to compliment David Lee.

Wallace covers the shot-blocking, defense, and long range shooting that Lee can't provide.
Lee covers the rebounding, hustle, and post play you don't get from Wallace.

Wallace is going to command more than the MLE. I don't know if we could pull off a sign and trade for him.

^^I don't think he's a bad fit at all Optimus, I just don't see it as possible because we don't have a MLE this year correct? well that added with the fact that MLE can't be one year deals, and Sheed will probably be looking for a long term contract..

Sheed will sign a contender or a team that will give him a big deal, were not either. He would fit well in this system and compliment Lee very nicely, but theres simply no way he could land here unless we can trade Jeffries or Curry for him in a S&T with an expiring contract.

Yeah, he's too old and he doesn't 'fit' in the 2010 plan. But he'd kill in 'Antoni's system though...

I would think Wallace would sign with a contender, I'm think San Antonio would try and make a big play for him.

But yes I think Rasheed would do well in this type of system. Rasheed is very unselfish even to a fault so he can help move the ball around, along with all his other skills.
