Rasheed Wallace

Seems like Sheed is looking for a comeback.
I must tell you guys, I absolutely would LOVE him on our roster.

1. He is a winner.
2. He is experienced, a leader type. Also a champion.
3. He is a smart player, when it comes to team play.
4. He is a great defender and a good enough 3pt shooter, scorer.
5. He gives security to our frontcourt, should anything go wrong and someone goes down for a longer time wth injury.
6. He has played with Perk in Boston. Im not sure how their relationship was, but Sheed is known to be a likable teammate.
7. He can play the 4 and the 5 spot.
8. He bring toughness, just like Perk.

I think your list only tells part of the Rasheed Wallace story, but perhaps not completely.

9. Rasheed Wallace is 37 years old and hasn't played in over a year.
10. Wallace has an unfiltered mouth, not to different from the recently bought out Nate Robinson.
11. Wallace retired from the Celtics one year before the end of his contract because he just didn't want to work any longer.
12. Before Wallace retired his game had slipped several notches.
13. An unmotivated Wallace has a history of being a team cancer.
14. Rasheed Wallace doesn't fit in the mold of the team culture.
15. Which current player that does fit into the team culture do you want to sacrifice for Wallace?

can't agree with 13 more.

True, but I think he could still perform well in limited minutes.
10. Wallace has an unfiltered mouth, not to different from the recently bought out Nate Robinson.
Dont really care about that, Garnett has too and is still a hell of a player/teammate.
11. Wallace retired from the Celtics one year before the end of his contract because he just didn't want to work any longer.
Dont know about the exact reasons.
12. Before Wallace retired his game had slipped several notches.
True again, but also his role on this team would be less.
13. An unmotivated Wallace has a history of being a team cancer.
Example? As I can remember he gave a big boost to bost Detroit and Boston when he was brought in.
14. Rasheed Wallace doesn't fit in the mold of the team culture.
The same could've been said about Perkins. He worked out pretty well.
15. Which current player that does fit into the team culture do you want to sacrifice for Wallace?
Noone, but Nazr is getting older to, plus anyone (Perk, Collison, Ibaka) could go down one day with an injury.

Agree with the cons list a lot more than the pros list... Don't see much value in bringing him in. Nazr has been looking better than I'd expect Sheed to look, Cole looked decent in preseason, and we got rid Mullens (who is a couple of decades younger) because the frontcourt was kind of congested.

No way. Dude hasn't played in awhile and wasn't in the best of shape when he last played.

This.

I bet he's only coming back because he is broke.
