Why do you guys want sheed? the guy has become a jump shooting big man, we have enough of those, sheed will occasionaly get the put back dunk or the occasional oop, but the guy is not a post factor anymore IMO.. I would rather focus my attention on a guy like Tyson chandler...
Why do I want Sheed? The guy is perfect in the pick and roll game with Marbury. He's a 7 footer that could play 3 positions in the East. He has heart, doesn't back down from anybody, and rebounds extremely well. He can score in the post. But above all of that, he plays great defense. He is a shotblocker who would enhance our team defense tremendously. He can guard the big power fowards in the league and would be able to handle all the eastern conference cetners.
Why can't we focus our attention on both Sheed and Chandler. I would give up KT and cap relief for Ty Chandler and JYD. We could start Nazr and Sheed with Chandler and Sweetney off the bench. Our interior defense would be nasty and we'd have post scoring and shotblocking. Just imagine a second unit frontline with JYD, Sheed, and Chandler. Talk about a defensive unit with energy.
Now I'm going to stop dreaming because it's probably 90% that Sheed stays in Detroit. But it will be interesting if they get blown out in the next two. Dumars has always loved Okur and although he hasn't done much this series he's still very young.
