    So we sorted that out by trading for Dale Davis and Fat Shawn Kemp. Logjam solved! (Of course, Gary Trent turning out to be a total loser helped too.)

    Here's the deal: Robinson is a rebounding fiend who thinks he's a scorer too. We'd like him to do the one and stop trying to do the other until he manages not to turn it over every time he tries. Let's hope he can, because otherwise the rebounding isn't enough to make up for it.

    People are saying he's a good defender. I don't think he is yet. I think his problems are all mental, which isn't the same thing as saying they're trivial or that they'll go away.

    Wow that is crazy Rasheed 14.6, Brian Grant 12.1 and Gary Trent 11.5 all averaged double figures playing together in 97-98

    We didn't play the three of them together that long since Trent was shipped to Toronto in the Damon trade midway through the season and that was the first year of Brian Grant.

    I think Sheed was playing SF then though.

    Yeah, Sheed was playing a lot of SF, but he'd slide over to PF with BG on the bench. At first, Sheed was supposedly unhappy. But, as we all saw, he sure fell in love with the perimeter.

    Yeah it sucked man... Wallace could have been such a beast down low. I wish he had Aldridge's work ethic at least. He would have been the best PF to ever play for Portland.

    Shit, Sheed had the potential to go down as the best player in Portland history. Another player with so much potential, but the stars didn't align.

    We've had a lot of guys like that - didn't become the clear-cut greatest Blazer for various reasons (Roy, Walton, Sabonis, etc.).

    Imagine how the Wizards should feel - they're the ones who gave up on him after one season.

    You can hardly put Sheed in the category of Darius Miles and Qyntel Woods. Could Sheed have been better? Probably. But he was still an All Star, a starter on a championship level team. Miles had a good half season, got an extension, and sulked. Woods had talent from the neck down.
