<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chad Ford thinks the Nets could be a suitor for the talented but enervating Rasheed Wallace this summer, dangling their #10 pick. Buried in Thursday’s ESPN Draft Notes is Ford’s list of teams who he could see pursuing the 33-year-old power forward. The four-time All-Star has an expiring contract that will pay him $13.7 million. The Pistons have promised a house-cleaning.</div> I want to get younger not older.

I love Rasheed ALOT but I highly doubt he'd stay here past the remainder of his contract. Wouldn't make much sense for us to give up the #10 pick just for a one year rental and cap space.
The Nets had a chance to get Sheed years ago and they didnt pull the trigger and the Pistons won a championship that year. I think the rumor was Sheed and Patterson for Martin and whatever. Sheed got traded to the Hawks then to the Pistons. They eliminated us in the playoffs and went to win the Championship. Then K-Mart left then it was down hill from there. There is no reason to go down this road. Why do we want to help the pistons? I would rather keep the 10th pick. There must be something better out there. That said I would trade for Rip or Prince. I really doubt Billups is going anywhere. I love the way Rip plays the game. Prince's all around game is underrated.
I like sheed but I doubt he solves NJ's problem and let's be honest, I can't see a Sheed and Frank relationship lasting one season

I don't think Thorn or Kiki are looking to keep him around any longer than that. So, what's more valuable, cap space or the 10th pick?
You can clear up cap space by trading for players a lot less costly than Rasheed. This is pointless discussion, because I don't understand why Detroit would trade any of their players.

We just finished a 2-4 finals appearance against the Spurs and KMart was a valuable part of the team. At the time, I dont think anyone knew KMart would demand a max contract, and even if they did, that some team would be stupid enough to give it to him the following summer. I remember reading a headline on RealGM that he demaned a $66 million extenstion and when he was turned down, he demanded a trade. Things simmered down a few days later. Plus, I dont think the deal would have worked anyways, because of KMart's contract status that summer. I'm fuzzy on the details. That, and no way did Thorn want Patterson on the team. Although I do remember reading some funny stories about Thorn personally calling the Hawks front office; begging them not to trade Sheed to the Pistons!

The CBA sure does make charity a big factor in who wins titles. Screw Danny Ainge. I hope the Celtics get swept. Serves them right.

Like you said Thorn wanted no part of Patterson, but Rasheed would have given us the Low Post game we needed to win. K-Mart just lacked the low post game to really demand significant double teams. With what little shooters we had, they would have had field days playing off Sheed back then. Kidd Kittles KVH Sheed Collins Bench RJ Harris A. Williams

He's doing a good enough job of that on his own. I said screw DANNY AINGE for handing the freaking Pistons their championship. Now he's gonna get his.
