There I was, minding my own business not working at work, browsing ESPN's site, when I came across this article:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&page=tradetalk-090205
Basically, it says that Rasheed Wallace is interested in becoming a Spur as a free agent in the offseason. I don't know what to think of this. It reminds me of when there was some talk that Karl Malone might come out of retirement to join the Spurs. On one hand, he's one of my least favorite players in the league. On the other hand, Rasheed is EXACTLY what the Spurs need on the court:
1. He can stretch the floor and shoot threes to open it up inside for Timmy, Manu, and Tony;
2. He could score in the post himself when Timmy sits;
3. He could guard bigs like Bynum or Boozer AND athletic fours like Pau, West, Stoudemire, Dirk, etc.
4. He wouldn't care if the big three took all the shots; in fact, the knock on him (as a player) has always been that he's too willing to defer. That wouldn't be an issue on the Spurs.
Could Pop and the San Antonio environment control his on-court outbursts? Would this be a Randy Moss in New England type of situation? Discuss...
