Rasheed to... Miami?

[Roy H.]

Yes, Hoopsworld is garbage, but at least this rumor makes some sense, and since it cites actual events rather than "sources", it could have a basis in reality:

During the All-Star break, rumors started circulating that Wallace was on the verge of signing with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the two sides didn’t agree to a deal and, while the Lakers still have an open roster spot, no signing appears to be imminent.

The Miami Heat have expressed significant interest in Wallace and recently worked him out. Miami wants to add a big man to their roster and they view Wallace as a low-risk, high-reward signing. If the Heat aren’t able to trade for a big before the deadline or sign a bought-out center, they could decide to sign Wallace for the remainder of the season.

I'm wondering, with the uncertainty of JO's injury, why we haven't we heard of a possible Sheed return to Boston.

Supposedly, we turned him down.  If so, I imagine it had something to do with his conditioning / attitude while here.

wow really Roy? We turned him down? Another great defender/catch and shoot option for Rondo. And Rasheed is smart. Wow danny is quite crazy to pass him over & we are extra thin at center.

Rasheed, and his 28% 3 point percentage in his C's year, is not a great catch and shoot option for Rondo. I agree with you on one point, if Sheed was signed, we certainly wouldn't be thin at center...quite fat if anything.

[xmuscularghandix]

If Ainge turned down Sheed it will be his first bad (non-draft) move of his GM career. 

[Donoghus]

Pretty sure there was mutual disinterest from both sides regarding Sheed & the Celtics.  Neither had interest in the other.

[ManUp]

Please tell me that the people that want Sheed back are joking.

You really don't know why Danny hasn't called?

Rasheed was near Mark Blount level bad when he was with us.

If I could swap JO today for Sheed 2010 I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[j804]

I would love Sheed but then at the same time I could see why we aren't interested based off the reports of his lazy attitude and work ethic, getting constantly t'd up etc

[ManUp]

Sheed was HORRIBLE! How can anyone with two functional eyes and an understanding of basketball seriously think the guy can add anything to an NBA team. He was washed up two seasons ago and you want him now?

When he was a Celtic, Sheed averaged 10pts, 4rebs in 22minutes. Not bad until you look at the percentages 40% from the field and 28% from 3(he took around 4 a game). That's absolutely unacceptable for an 6'10 power forward. Beyond the shooting statisitcs the man couldn't guard the pick and roll if his life depended on it. His interior defense was all hands he slapped anything that walked into the paint and gave up more and1s then you do candy on halloween. Not to mention, he infected the team with the "we don't have to play hard until the play-offs attitude". I feel safe in saying every big man we have on this team is better than 2010 Sheed. You guys are nuts if you seriously think he makes any NBA team better. I apologize to Blount, Sheed was clearly the worse Celtic by far.
