Sheed
I know there are more interesting things to think about at the moment, but as it seems sheed is out of favor in detroit. he'd be a great addition to the lakers, what do you think?

I don't think even then he's worth the chance. The risk out weighs the reward in this case. Even though Phil has worked with the likes of Rodman and JR Rider I'm not sure he'd want that sort of personality on our team. Neither would I quite frankly, off the bench and for the vet minimum even. No way!
Team chemistry might be the main reason for this particular Laker team's success. There's something special there.
That tears it!!!!!!

to say you wouldn't take the chance if he wanted to come off the bench and for the vet min is insane. Sheed has many ways to contribute still and you're just overblowing his persona given by the media.

Trust me, that persona wasn't given to him, he earned it.

I severely disagree with people not wanting him for chemistry issues. Have you ever heard a lot about Sheed being a bad teammate? I haven't. As a matter of fact Scottie Pippen said Sheed was one of the best teammates he's ever played with when he was in Portland.
Don't let the on court antics confuse you with locker room problems. If he wanted to come, and didn't have a problem starting off the bench I'd be estatic about adding him to our roster.

Having never been much of a fan, I wasn't really liking the idea until I read this. Still wouldn't bend over backwards to pick him up, but this is a pretty salient point -- you never hear about him squabbling with teammates or causing problems in the locker room. He can be a huge distraction with his on-court antics, but after handling Dennis Rodman I'm sure Sheed would seem like David Robinson to Phil.
The thing is, even in a reserve role, how good is he any more? And provided Bynum comes back healthy and stays healthy -- no guarantee, I know -- but how much do we really need a 6-10 3-point shooter whose defense and rebounding have declined noticably? Especially at $13.5 million for the next season. Yeah, it would be nice when that contract comes off the book, but we'll be so far over the cap it wouldn't even matter.
For the price tag alone, I don't see this happening.
