Do We Retain Sheed or AI?

...he could have gotten more money and more years if he had a repeat of 2007.

The idea that him tanking his last season at age 34 is maximizing his contract status is beyond ridiculous.

[Glenn]

He's not tanking, he's just not going 100%.

And who would have given him more money than the MLE this summer if he had a good 2008/09, as you referenced in post #21?

He's not tanking, he's just not going 100%.

LOL that's the very definition of tanking...

First off, he would have gotten more YEARS, and thus more MONEY.

[Uncle Mxy]

He's not getting more years, owing to the over-35 rule in the CBA.

Tanking is losing on purpose.

Playing careful and tentative because you've got your paycheck on your mind is not losing on purpose.

I don't think he WANTS to lose (again, that's tanking), he just doesn't want to play in a manner that might make him vulnerable to injury.

[Kstat]

Playing careful and tentative is a lame excuse for "not trying." It's no different than simply not trying. it doesn't matter if he wants to lose or just doesn't care.

[Glenn]

Ah, nevermind.

[Uncle Mxy]

Do we retain water or gas?

Any way you look, it's a retentive move.

[metr0man]

HELL NO.

I'd be willing to keep Sheed but only for an EXTREMELY cheap deal. I mean, like no more than half of the MLE. And not even that, if it gets in the way of signing a free agent this summer.

The top priority should be getting good and young talent in our big men spots.

[Tahoe]

Its just time for him to play elsewhere. He's too comfortable with the Pistons. He'll have lack of motivation and that spreads.

I think at this point, Sheed on this team for a dollar is too much.
