Not sure but I don't think there's a single other team in the league trying to get Sheed. Not one. There are reasons for that and I don't think tremendous amounts of loyalty on Sheed's part is the reason.



This is from December 5th

Old friend Rasheed Wallace visited the Garden for Friday's game and made a couple of appearances in the Chicago locker room to see old friends Tom Thibodeau and Brian Scalabrine. First Wallace crashed Thibodeau's postgame press conference, shouting, "I need a job!" Soon after, he peeked into the Bulls' locker room and mimicked the often-heard chant of "Scal-a-bri-ne!" to his former teammate. Did Thibodeau think he was serious? "I don't know," he said with a chuckle. "He's a good player." ESPN.com

Sounds like Thibodeau disagrees with you . Sheed is still a very good low post defender and can space the floor and play in the low post on offense. If Sheed wants to come back I am sure there will be a number of playoff teams interested.
If Thibodeau disagreed with me he could have tried to sign him or at least said openly "I would absolutely love for him to play here".

Instead he's going with Scala.   So actually I think he agrees with me
Actions do speak louder than words.

This video between the 4:25 and 4:47 mark is how I feel about Sheed

  • You say when......
Well, it sure looks like a no brainer now......or maybe we can just ask the other teams to only play small-ball.! We need Sheed AND 1 other big also....!

It took Sheed close to playoff time last season to get fully inshape last season while playing every game.What makes anyone think he could come in at this point of this season without playing any ball at this level and be ready by playoff time?NOT

That's my biggest qualm about the Sheed specualation too.   After seeing him last year, it was clear his conditioning was not up to snuff for most of the season. 

This guy hasn't played a single game this year.  I have no idea what kind of shape he's in right now but my guess is that's not nearly close enough to handle a NBA basketball game.
