Is it time to think about trading........Rasheed!!

You say he was trying to be a great teammate, I say he was a super talented player who didn't have the mental makeup to lead a team.

Yet he was the key change for Detroit to becoming a playoff team to being the champs. 

He was a piece of the puzzle, yes.  Not the leader, but a nice piece of the puzzle.

Yep.


On a team that was about team, not stars. 

Sort of like how the Celtics play.

Thats not a great argument because I could say Eddie House is a very good rebounder but the problem is that he has always played on teams with tall guys.

No.  What it means that he played with a lot of good low post players.  Therefor, for the better of the team (and not his own stats) he played away from the basket more.

I don't think so.  His coaches wanted him to post up more even then.  Not that he was shooting many 3's but he was taking a lot of 18 footers.  This isn't true anymore, but the guy may have been the best low post player in the league not named Shaquile.  If he was such a team player he should have dominated down in the paint, and he shouldn't have let Portland squander that huge lead in 2000 or thereabouts.  

  You're wildly exaggerating his low post play.

McHale
Al Jefferson
Duncan
Boozer
this young injury No.1 pick and last one are supposed to be good too

yes there are not that many paint masters anymore but to say the best is a little reach

Paul Flannery had a great "definition" of Rasheed in his latest article :

Since arriving in Boston he has been everything everyone said he would be. He is at times maddening on the court and at others subtly brilliant. (“He gets away with murder out there” an admiring Pierce joked after the Indiana game.)
Refreshingly candid, brutally honest and hilariously profane, he has not been one iota different here than anywhere else. That is why getting mad at him for racking up technicals and shooting 3’s is like cursing the rain for being wet. It’s part of who he is and it’s not going to change.

I think this sums up perfectly who Rasheed is and what assets and drawbacks he brings. Personnally I feel like he has shown more good than bad this season. My only disappointment is his shooting percentage from three, but I still think he will get better during the season. Overall, he has a great impact on our team and it will be even more apparent in the playoffs.

But first and foremost I love Sheed's personality and honesty, he really is a great guy.

TP Drucci. Great find and all too true.

Not remotely ... they knew exactly what they were getting when they signed Rasheed, good and bad, and as I agree, the good outweighs the bad ... at least for now. Sheed fills a very big hole left by KG, and is the perfect guy to come off the bench, especially when he minimizes the threes and works his post game. Are there better in the NBA at that position? Absolutely, but until we're in a position where acquiring one is a possibility, Sheed fills the need ... quite effectively.
