Rasheed Wallace?

[tamburello]

When Pistons were eliminated Rasheed was headed to the exit, I thought we would be considered as potential trade partners by the media. But I haven't heard such a lopsided and ridiculous thing.

Would Dumars call his buddy Michael Jordan in Charlotte and try to work a deal for Jason Richardson, who is going to, most likely, chafe under the constraints of Larry Brown's offense? Would Dumars call and offer Wallace and others in exchange for Richardson and Emeka Okafor?

Do we look as dumb as they think? I simply don't get it. After Gasol's trade to Lakers, I guess the "big" teams are looking to steal stars from "small" teams for nothing. Or did they find this bravery from last season's trade in which they dumped Nazr's contract to us?

I'm wondering so much whom they mean by saying "others". I bet they meant something like Lindsey Hunter+Juan Dixon ?

And how on earth they can assume J-Rich to be a AI type ballhog guy to have problems with Larry Brown?

We have to do something on the court in order to gain some respect on both and off the court. Period.

I love Sheeds game but I wouldn't do Sheed and some fillers (I'm assuming Prince, Stuckey and Maxiell wont be offered) for Swish and Mek.

Sheed would be nice to pair up with Oak. but theres probably no way we get him without giving up too much and he doesnt have long left in his career. not to mention the intolerable side effects that would come with yet another UNC guy.

Sean May, Ammo and this years number 9 pick for Sheed and their first round pick. gives them back a scoring PF and a SF and a pick to go whichever direction they please. they wont take that but i definitely would.

Sheed has a good game, but his attitude sucks. Al the technicals and his whining just grates on my nerves. I would not want that on my team. He also has some years on those tires. I would pass on Sheed unless he was only a sub-part of the deal, and I dont expect that to be the case.

[ReesieNCPantherCatfan1]

I think Sheed would be a good fit here IF the price is right. No way do we give up our core of J-Rich, Mek, or Crash, but if we could do a trade that involves anyone else (very unlikely) I would be all for it.

I think a big to command double teams is what we need, and it would open up everything for shooters like J-Rich and Carrol. Then we have a formidable front like with mek at C, and sheed at the 4. Yeah sheeds attitude sucks, but I would take mustachios trade offer in a second, Carolina backlash be damned.

Plus he is 34 years old. I'll pass

Heres another idiotic trade

A trade scenario that would work though is trading Sheed and the 29th pick for Gerald Wallace, Othella Harrington, cash, and the ninth pick in the draft.
The Pistons get versatile player in Gerald Wallace and a top 10 pick, where they can land a variety range of players.

These guys must be completely high.

It's so much fun watching this guy unravel on the court, and see the steam coming out of his ears right before he goes ballistic....but that's when he's playing for the other team. According to a respected friend, he's a great guy off the court and fun to talk to, plus the fans have loved him everywhere he's been, but even so, I was happy to see him leave North Carolina after his sophomore year, and the feeling hasn't changed any since then; I don't want him on my NBA team either.

That said, if we could get him for a steal, I'd do it; that is, nothing involving JRich or Gerald.

Ya, lets give them a potential all star, cash, expiring contracts, AND a top 10 pick for a 34 year old sheed and basically a 2nd round pick? You're right Ziggy, absolutely crazy.

If Rasheed rebounded better, I'd be a little more apt to let his attitude slide with the expiring contract. But he's boarded 8+ per game only twice in his career and the numbers are getting lower year by year. Our front line's problem is rebounding. Outside of Okafor, who disappeared on the glass in quite a few games, we don't have any other consistent rebounding. I've always said that we need to look for rebounding in our next PF, whether it be in the draft or via trade because that will address a big need for the 'Cats.
