June 27, 200917 yr Saw it on the headlines part of ESPN's NBA home page. It is labeled just a rumor, so nothing confirmed yet, but the site says the Orlando Magic are pursuing Rasheed Wallace. A replacement for Hedo perhaps.
June 27, 200917 yr Author In order to read the full story on ESPN you have to sign up for Insider, which I am not a member. Hopefully they can close this deal, it would be a pretty huge move.
June 27, 200917 yr Author 1 - Nelson 2 - Carter 3 - Lewis 4 - Wallace 5 - Howard 6 - Pietrus Can anyone help me spell loaded? Maybe even Wallace and Lewis could flip flop at times.
June 27, 200917 yr I've heard that San Antonio will really be going after him too. When can free agents start signing? And I've read that Rasheed wanted to go to San Antonio at some point during last season...
June 27, 200917 yr ESPN's "Insider" is sort of a joke. All they really do is post articles from other sites. On Rasheed Wallace they simply lead you to this site: LINK
June 27, 200917 yr Saw it on the headlines part of ESPN's NBA home page. It is labeled just a rumor, so nothing confirmed yet, but the site says the Orlando Magic are pursuing Rasheed Wallace. A replacement for Hedo perhaps. Sheed is NOT a replacement for Hedo. He cannot handle the ball and play off the pick and roll with Howard as Hedo did. He might take his place in the lineup, but this becomes a whole different team with this sub.
June 27, 200917 yr If the Magic pulls this off then they are 5x better than they were last season, and will not have to rely on nailing 20 threes a game just to win, but will still have four capable three point shooting guys on the floor, + keep their size that they had going for them last year.
June 28, 200917 yr ^ What do you guys think Carter is for? Carter has not shown to be the passer that Hedo was.
June 28, 200917 yr IMO the teams that want to win are revealing that and the teams that are playing for rebuilding are showing that. The teams that really want to win next year and have showed that are the Spurs, Cavs, Magic with Vince and actively going after Sheed, and the Lakers who sold some draft picks for extra cash so they could resign Odom and Ariza, and hopefully get back Phil. I would take resigning them to a few rookies. This would be a good move for the Magic, but would change their dynamics and they would play very different than last year.
