Sheed is 6'11.... I sincerely hope he can still dunk.
 
As much as I would like to see him bringing some nasty to Vonleh and Alexander, I can't forgive him for tossing the towel at Sabas. I will pass.
 
"BALL(in') DON'T LIE!"

Wow he looks like he put on quite a bit of muscle! I wish he would have done that in Portland
 
If LA can get back Metta to be their crazy dude on the roster, we can get Sheed back strictly for entertainment value for the season.
 
I'd sign him - for my Sunday night rec league team, as long as he contributed $10 to the beer fund for every technical.

Thought his nickname should have been Mr. T for all the technicals but what a player. "Ball Don't Lie" is up there with anything Ali said as far as I am concerned.
 
Ex NBA all star flexing and posing for making plays in rec league?

That's just sad.

Really? He was doing a send and receive to some people in the crowd. They shouted something to him and he shouted back. It's just playing to the fans in the crowd. Other than that he was't doing much outside of putting up a 3 when he made a 3 pointer. It was pretty benign.

...I am pretty sure Sheed was simply praising Sabas for his intense defensive effort out there and offered him a towel to help wipe the sweat that was pouring out of the big fella. They are best buds to this day and likely exchange Christmas cards with each other's family. Get over it, Sabas did!

In terms of signing him, hell no. However, he is rumored to be a basketball genius and would make for an entertaining coach to have on the bench!

Are you pulling this out of your a$$? I can't tell if this is a tortured joke or you really believe it.

I would grant Sheed a waiver for performance enhancing drugs if I were Silver. I'd love to see a 40 something Sheed on HGH or roids or whatever ARod recommends.

I'd give Shaq one too just for fun.
 
As far as i know he's got a job in the Pistons' training\coaching staff and he contributed to Andre Drummond's development.

What development is that? Drummond hasn't improved since his rookie year and actually regressed slightly from year 2 to year 3. Perhaps he's adopted Sheed's steadfast refusal to work on his game, or his conditioning, during the offseason.

Sheed was hired at the summer of 2013 and Dre showed progress at 2013-2014 (PPG,FG%,RPG etc...) and i don't give 2shits about "normalizing his rookie numbers to 32 minutes" because it's irrelevant.

Thugs need thug coaches

I already loved Bill Walton, but that hyperbole just made me love him more.

I'm not a huge Walton fan, but I do respect his love for the game and his recognition of, and respect for, truly great players. He was coached by some of the best and played with and against some of the best, and he clearly recognizes their greatness.
 
Sheed got so many unfair techs as a Blazer playing against great post players. He actually was right most of the time. A lot of his tech fouls came from Donaghy who was betting on games. Over time it was ridiculous. He bet before games on giving Sheed tech fouls. Shaq would put his hand on Sheed's face and dunk, getting an +1. He was snubbed for multiple allstar games and said he'd rather have time off but I felt it weighed on him. I followed his game when he left Portland and to a man, every teammate he had and coach he had praised his game. He even visited his teammates in Detroit after he was signed by Boston. The towel throwing or clowning in practice is overblown. Sabo was a great talent but a sullen guy who didn't even like to speak English much. We don't know what tension was between him and Sheed around the incident. All in all, I have always been a fan of Sheed's game. Walton is a blow hard. If he thought he'd punch Sheed, he would have had his clock cleaned

Dude... If you've never given a Tech then you gotta GTFO on this one. The only one you actually know shouldn't have been given was the one where he's staring at the ref (really a complete bullshit tech). But take it from someone who's given countless techs, Sheed probably deserved at least 90% of those.

I watched Sheed's career pretty closely and toward the end, he did get loose but it was accumulative frustration and I believe he never got fair treatment. Donaghy reffed a million games and admitted he planted techs on Sheed all the time. Read his book and it is an eye opener for the unfair era when Sheed was a Blazer. I trusted Dick Bavetta, but superstars like Shaq got away with murder, actually so did Michael Jordan
