Sheed Asked For Byout?

[Pugz]

Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace asked the team for a buyout this year but was rejected, according the News-Herald.

Some believe that he might have signed with the Cavaliers, the team that eliminated his Pistons in a sweep, had he become a free agent.

Wallace will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

i wonder whta team will want to take Wallace? and i doubt the Cavs would.

 

[RipCity32]

He is rumored to be retiring.

 

[Pugz]

He wants to play for Popovich, but he's had "calf" problems for the last two years so he might call it quits..

 

[V23]

He is rumored to be retiring.

He has nothing left to accomplish, I don't know why he would want to labor through another season.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, I'd like to see him retire because I want him to retire with the Pistons as his last team and he doesn't have the competitive drive anymore.

I wouldn't have minded him Cleveland, seems like a guy who would fit right in with Cavs considering they seem like a loose and fun team to be with and Sheed is a pretty funny guy even though I despise him as a Piston.

 

[RipCity32]

As I always say... Sheed is a guy you hate to play, but love to have on your team.

I`d rather see him retire as a Piston than go to another team. He had close to nothing left. Although, it would be interesting to see both Wallaces/former Pistons, reunite on the Cavs.

He had potential to be a tim duncan type of player. Idk why he never lived up to it. But he still was a good player.

 

[Pugz]

He had the potential to be a MJ type of PF/C but his attitude stopped him from that.. Like Chuck says "Sheed is a retard"

 

[The Young One]

There will never be a such thing as a MJ type PF or C. The great ones want to great sheed didnt want that. But with that said he still was a all star type player.

Contrary to rumors, Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace never asked the team for a buyout of his contract during their disappointing season.

Joe Dumars confirmed in an e-mail to the Detroit News that the rumor was false.

Wallace was known to joke about receiving a buyout in the team's locker room. It all reportedly started when the Pistons signed Chris Webber after he'd been bought out by the 76ers a couple years ago.
