Good Rasheed Needed <div class="bi">Sept 12 -I don't think the Pistons roster is set in stone at this point. Joe Dumars may still have a deal or two up his sleeve before the February trade deadline. The key, as always, will be Rasheed Wallace. </div><div> He is the reason the Pistons maintain most of their cache in the conference. Remove him -- even though Rip Hamilton and Chauncey Billups are all-stars and Tayshaun Prince is one of the best small forwards in the league -- and the Pistons are pedestrian. </p> But it has to be the good Sheed, the one we saw through the first two rounds of the playoffs through the first two games against the Cavs. It can't be the bad Sheed, the one that came unglued and ultimately torpedoed the Pistons in Games 5 and 6.</p> -- <font color="#1b4588">Detroit News</font></p></div>
Re: He's getting up there, isn't he 32 or 33 now? And he's shown he's not the post presence he once was. It'll be interesting to see how long the Pistons want to keep him around. With Bosh, Howard, and KG all in conference, I don't even know that he's an elite eastern PF anymore.
