I’d love Sheed on our coaching staff. If only he had some big men to coach up…!

Actually Sheed won a chip with one of the smallest centers in the league in Ben Wallace...he'd be perfect here but you'd get T'd up a lot with him on the bench. Love to see what he could do with Walker and Watford..

To be fair, I don't think Chauncey Billups offered. Too bad. I am the minority that likes Shred

I don't think you're in the minority, I think the minority is really loud & proud. There is a faction of American society that loves to get their hate on. They gravitate towards those subjects/people in our culture and especially sports where they can coalesce around and spew venom. While he was never my favorite player, the passion and skills Wallace brought as a player on both ends easily overshadowed his flaws. I know we're far from alone in liking him.

I'm glad to see him excelling in coaching post playing career. I heard several top players in the past draft site him as a positive in their development. I very much doubt this train wreck of a Lakers team will be his last stop.

IDK Stomp?
Bunch of people I know don’t really like or miss him at all.
He was a good player sure but he was extremely toxic.
I personally don’t want him anywhere near the Blazers.
Wish him well and happy for his success yes but I’ll pass on him coming back here in any capacity.
 
Had my beef with Sheed but its water under the bridge at this point. Only reason I wouldn't have him back is the officials hate us enough already.

I was already aware you were in the other camp from your other posts, you'd made that crystal clear. I know that he was extremely unpopular with Quick and Canzano because he wouldn't play their stupid drama games and so they derided him daily in their stories. That for me was a feather in his cap as I always hated those two soap opera losers. I also know he was lauded and loved by his teammates and many of the games best players from his day. Players I hold distain for are those who's dirty play endangers other players and/or conduct themselves like scumbags off the court... my all time most hated was Karl Malone who combined both of those qualities. In general I don't pretend that watching guys play or watching them interviewed really lets me know them... hell, that ended with OJ.

I hope Sheed continues to positively impact young players through coaching but suffer no illusions that he'll be doing so in Portland as that would be a PR pandoras box that I'm sure he & whoever is managing the Blazers will have no desire to open.

I’ve probably been too tough on the guy but no question I don’t and never will know him or what his true situation was.
Wish him all the best.
Totally agree it would be a mess bringing him here. Could be entertaining though.
