Sheed has more talent than Reef

Deez,

Wasn't rasheed playing for a contract in Portland and doing an sub-par job?

What changes? The fact that he is "the man"?

Come on. That's silly.

Further, what makes rasheed the first option when Reef, a much better offensive talent, wasn't our first option? He was like option 1.a. Jackson 1.b. Terry 1.c.

Play.

No.

Sheed was actually playing his best ball of the season when we got him. The problem has been Cheeks/Randolph. Randolph is a black hole in the post and Cheeks was content with allowing Sheed to play C.

I think we will see something similar to Walker going to Dallas but I think Sheed will be more the man because he is now a first option scorer and will get about 40 mpg.

Deez,

Obviously you weren't watching the games...

rasheed was playing SF. Which is why he was jacking up so many threes. He didn't play center.

Randolph is a black hole (and a whiny little brat --- http://oregonlive.com/blazers/oregonian/in...67718299200.xml ). BUT, rasheed isn't talented enough to pull 11 rebounds and score 24 points.

Sorry, he just isn't... and if he is... he doesn't have the mindset.

Play.

Actually on the ESPN splits Rasheed is listed at C for a few games but you're right he was predominantly SF for the Blazers. But here he will be a PF so expect to see him jack fewer 3s up, and make his game out to 20 ft...besides we don't need him to shoot 3s! we have a 3 pt specialist now in Person, so hopefully Jax and JT will pick their spots on 3s...

Path,

rasheed also had Person in Portland. He also had DA.

rasheed will do what rasheed will do.

The last thing Hawks fans should want is for the team to win.

rasheed is NOT coming back. He is probably going to NY, Houston or Philly (w/ Mo Cheeks).

So, the worst thing that could happen is win just enough to take yourselves out of the lottery and then also lose the only reason you weren't a lottery team. Winning would have been okay if rasheed would stay, but he isn't going to.

Play.
