Rasheed Wallace coming back...who wants him? - Page 2 - Message Board Basketball Forum

I'd rather just have him stay retired or whatever he's doing right now. I'm tired of watching him play and being reminded that his attitude held him back from being one of the greats and settling for too many jumpers.

That's a ginormous 'IF' though...

Thats a perfect fit.

Rasheed & Chauncey have Title experience together in Detroit.

Rasheed was a teammate of Clippers assistant coach, Robert Pack, when they were in Washington.

Rasheed also is familar with Clippers assistant coach, Dean Demopoulos, who was the lead recruiter at Temple in the 90's under John Chaney. Demopolous has Philly ties in his background and both he and Rasheed's former HS coach at Simon Gratz, Bill Ellerbee, worked at Temple.

Dont ask how I know all this info.

He will only sign with a contender and they are not going to ask him to play in D League...

lol seriously WTF man

Nah, its possible.

A new rule in the CBA allows NBA teams to assign veteran players to the D-League for rehab stints to get into shape.

I dont think any team is going to sign a guy who's been retired for 1 1/2 years and immediately throw him onto the floor.

It's sad but I will take an overweight, old/washed up Rasheed Wallace over Charlie Villanueva any day out of the week. Plus I want to see him reunited with Ben Wallace. BUT, it would never happen.

Oh man, that would be awesome. I'd be making it up for way for games at the Rose Garden if that happened, just to see if 'Sheed can amass more technicals to his legend.

If i were him i'd go to the Lakers or the Heat. Don't see another team that makes sense for him if he wants to win a ring.

RazorBaLade · 01-13-2012, 01:41 AM

this guy jumped to my t5 fav players after seeing him complain about every call in the 2010 finals.

would love to see him on the lakers.

You would have served the same purpose by saying "he probably wants to sign with a team that will pay him money, as opposed to a team that will make him play for free."

Not a good idea considering he had back issues in his last year.
