If he wants to retire we can clear his salary: http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#Q54 - I don't think we'd need to do it right away.

Additionally we could always agree to a 0 dollar buyout a la Fisher when he left Utah. With one year left (his third year is a player option) - it might make some sense to leave him as 15th man on roster and see if his salary could be used to bring in help.

Ideally we'd trade him and his salary, plus the buyout (less than 3 million) to another team that wants to get out of a contract.

If 'Sheed wants to retire, I'd respect that.

I'd still give him a call come next February and see if he wants to give it one last run.

Don't see how 'Sheed's retirement would really impact the decision on whether or not to bring back Ray Allen.  If 'Sheed goes, we're one step further back from contention and one step closer to rebuilding, so why resign Ray in that scenario?  Plus, we'd need to pay for another rotation-caliber big man (Sheldon ain't gonna cut it).
