latest sheed update...noon Friday:

[rickyfan3.0...]

The fact that we applied the full court press intending to get his signature on a contract and nothing happened tells me he has his heart set on something else... probably starting in San Antonio...

He will sign with San Antonio... sucks.

Spurs job is the most enticing proposition. Starting @ Center, next to the greatest Power-Forward ever. Plus you get to be coached by Gregg Popovich, and play with Tony Parker/Manu Ginobili/Richard Jefferson. Who could turn that down?

wow! i didnt know bob pettit was making a come back with the spurs!

at his age, i am impressed.

I dont understand the attitude here. WE talked to him and he is going to see what else is out there. Boston may be the greatest org to play for, but we cant expect every FA to faint when we show up at their door step. He would be dumb to not wait and see what else he is offered. It's up to DA and Wyc to match or beat any other offer he may get to the best of their ability. If SA offers 3 we offer 3 and so on.


One oher thing, who the hell cares that Ron Time Bomb Artest went to LA? I dont see the personalities meshing oujt their, and i dont see Odom happy going back to a reserve role.

Well... nothing's certain.  But if we don't get Sheed, the Celtics will be scrambling to find another serviceable big.  That could hurt, depending on how long it takes him to make up his mind.

sounds like boston is willing to go 3 years with rasheed. now it comes down to non-money issues

[rayallen_35_24]

i like the sound of this...ainge said he will add players even if wallace signs...willing to spend to keep winning...i like it...wallace agent likes it also...http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/view/20090704sheed_mulls_celtics_offer_ball_in_his_court/

[star18]

I think it looks good, I think we will get Rasheed

[BASS_THUMPER]

i think he rather ball with james and shaq

[star18]

Sheed isn't going to Cleveland, they aren't pursuing him like us.  Too many old and slow big guys there with Shag & Z. Sheed will come to Boston and win his title(s).  LETS GO SHEED!!

[BASS_THUMPER]

sheed aint bout a ring....dolla dolla bill yall!..

he wants 8mil or he will retire..

please mark my words..

[BASS_THUMPER]

. He would be dumb to not wait and see what else he is offered.

we cant give him what he wants....he is far from dumb

remember powe pimpim?...thrown to the cirb


this is a bizness people~...money talks and the rest walks~

he got rings..u cant sweet talk this dude..sheed is as real as it gets..

[PosImpos]

Sounds like we'll know Sheed's decision by early next week.  In the article it says he'll probably decide as soon as the "interviews" with team representatives are over.

[celticinorlando]

well..sounds like the Cs did all they can with sheed. i think it comes down to boston vs the spurs
