the only way i see pistons resigning rasheed is to a 1 year deal. He doesn’t play with the passion anymore since billups and ben left. Back in 05′ he posted up in game 7 and played well they lost though. He needs to know his postion better we need a center so it would almost be alright for him to strech the D out to the 3 point line. Having your center at the 3 point line is bad inless you must need a 3 to win the game

We all love Sheed, but that chapter in Pistons history needs to close. Maybe he still has something left and his injury was worse than we thought, but what’s to say he’ll be any different than he has the past 3 years: a guy who comes to play when he feels like it. If he goes somewhere else and lights it up, that is only more proof he needed to go.

On a side note: Boozer scares me too with the injuries. Maybe Kander could work his magic and keep the guy around for a full 75+ games, who knows. For the people who are starting to get excited for Chris Paul, keep dreaming. The guy is the face of their franchise; if the Hornets need to dump salary, I think West, Chandler, and Peja would all go before CP3.

“Without Sheed, also goes our identity and spirit!!!”

the identity started to go away when ben wallace left the team and 100% dissappeared when billups left too.

Sheed is gone, there’s no doubt about it.

With Sheed gone, Boozer is an absolute perfect fit for us. Think about it, we already have a lot of defenders and shotblockers, so we can compensate for Boozer’s inability to block shots. Meanwhile, Boozer’s strengths are exactly what we are missing: interior scoring and rebounding. Think about it, he’s a 20/10 guy almost every single night… when is the last time Detroit ever had a 20/10 guy?

Bosh is ok but he’s not as tough, and he’s not a post-up player like Boozer. I would much rather have Boozer any day of the week over Bosh. Give him a big contract, keep him happy, and we Detroit will be competing for a title again in no time.

I think we should let Sheed walk and keep Prince at all costs! Hamilton has been acting like a punk since Billups is gone….send him to the chopping block! I think Will Bynum should get even more PT than Stuckey (although I like how he has progressed) I think the hardest working guys have been Mcdyess and Maxiell (max effort every game)!

Also, with sheed gone…what are we gonna do about this “need4sheed” site? Do you have other possible site names ready?

KleenGee Boozer is a shady character. He left Cleveland after a season with Lebron made him better. He wanted more money & Utah was willing to give it, plus make him a star. A year later Deron Williams becomes a star. He is all about himself not winning. If he wouldn’t opt out of his contract. He is due 12 million this year. So if he leaves the most Joe would offer him is about 8 million a year. So Boozer may lose money. But if he doesn’t opt out that means Utah can’t afford Milsap who is a banger in the post & a good rebounder. He’d be a better fit if we go get someone like Bosh who is more of a jump shooting PF/C. Both are good defenders too.

Sheed is gone. No way Joe keeps him over Dyess. Sheed is no longer an impact player coming on or off the bench. We need that money to make our bench stonger. If Tayshaun leaves & Rip stays, Rip will have to play SF. Hermann is leaving too so we will need to spend some money on a back up SF. If both Rip & Tay leaves, we definitely need to find a starting SF. We need a defending SF that can shoot the 3. We’ll see what happens but this is gonna be a very eventful Summer. I for 1 can’t wait!

CRAZY… i was shocked to see this post, however taking time to reflect on it a bit brings me to the “possibility” that it doesn’t hold much weight. we can all admit that Sheed is a highly skilled big man that can do some things that normal big men can’t do. he can still spread the floor, post, make jump shots and bring passion when his heart is in the game. any team in their right mind would love to have this guy on their roster — mainly teams striving for that chip. the heat is on and all team executives know that the Pistons have numerous cards to play — and players they want (e.g., Tay-Rip-Sheed-Max). Dumars has stated his intention and noted that he ain’t giving up something for nothing…. the point i’m “trying” to make is that there is much politicking going on and false information can serve many purposes. lets not forget folks that the NBA is BIG Business at the end of the day and all teams are trying to gain advantages.

BTW… if we got Ben Gordan! i would be happy! i like the sound of Ben, Stucky, Rip and Bynum. 3 out of the 4 can break a defense down with ease — so if Joe can get a young big man with a solid jump shot and post moves we will be good. having Sheed coming off the bench could help -

Like him or not, he’s still a great player regardless. I would take him just think a healthy Boozer gives you 21 and 11 easy. Bosh, he was an MVP candidate before that no name team of his tanked. And Gordon, well…you saw waht he did in the Boston series. Hamilton or Prince might be on their marry way if Bosh comes about. Also i don’t know that Hamilton will be around if Gordon does choose to go here…I understand what he’s done for our team in the past, but this is a business…
