    Which team is closer to winning an NBA title if Sheed joins them? The Magic or Cavs. In my opinion, he would be a great addition to both squads and would push either over the top. I think he'll choose Cleveland and they will be the 09-10 Champs!

    He could help, or he could be the kiss of death.

    Cleveland. They will lose Hedo and he really was the heart and soul of that squad. They added Vince but, IMO, he doesn't make his teammates around him better like Hedo.

    I also don't think Rasheed is a 'missing piece' at this stage of his career.

    Sheed would sure help us!!! If he would play backup. How cool would that be.

    But to answer the thread, Cleveland. They would benefit more with Sheed.

    I think he would choose Cleveland, but San Antonio should be added to that list. And reports say they are interested in him.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think Sheed would help any contender if he's willing to accept a backup role. Considering he was willing to when he was young and rising (willingly backed up Brian Grant), I'd think he'd be willing to now that he's older and fading. But who knows.

    Cleveland, LA, Orlando, Boston, San Antonio could all use him. So could Portland, but no way that happens.

    Cleveland, if they stay healthy, will probably get into the finals next year even if they don't have Wallace. Sheed puts them way over the top.

    You mean, of course, Eastern Conference champs. They will put up a heroic struggle but fall to the Mighty Portland TrailBlazers in the finals.

    But yes, I agree. Meanwhile, whatever team threw money at Hedo Turkoglu will miss the playoffs.

    Lost me, you think adding Hedo to a playoff caliber team will destroy that team? Personally I wouldn't mind signing Hedo but to a 3 year contract with 4th year being team option. My first option would be to pursue an upgrade at PG; Kidd, Nash via trade, Sessions, Miller and maybe even Conley Jr.
