Rasheed Wallace mulling over NBA return

By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports

tweet1394EmailPrintRasheed Wallace is contemplating a comeback to the NBA, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Wallace, who retired after 15 seasons in 2010, has been working out and probing some close league friends about possible destinations to sign for the rest of the season, sources said.

At 6-foot-11, Wallace, 37, had been one of the most versatile and talented power forwards of his era. One league source who has talked with Wallace recently describes him as “serious” about a return to the NBA this season. Nevertheless, no teams contacted by Yahoo! Sports reported that they had any contact with Wallace, or his representative.

When reached on Friday, Wallace’s agent, Bill Strickland, would only tell Yahoo! Sports’ Marc Spears: “As a veteran player, [Wallace] knows what it takes to be reinstated.”

Wallace holds appeal for several contending teams, but all wonder about his shape and conditioning after sitting out 18 months. Wallace played 79 regular season games for the Celtics in his final year, but the organization never felt he truly got into playing shape until the playoff run to the NBA Finals in 2010. In a limited role, several GMs told Yahoo! they still believe his scoring and defending ability would probably be better than anyone else available to them.

One NBA GM with potential interest in signing Wallace said, “I’d be worried about his conditioning in a condensed season.”

In his 15 seasons with Washington, Portland, Atlanta, Detroit and Boston, Wallace averaged 14.6 points and 6.7 rebounds.

Nick Friedell Rasheed played with Rip in Detroit and Scal in Boston. He has a comfort level with Thibs. It makes sense to take a look IF he's in shape.

It would be a great signing even for just limited minutes to get him into shape. He would not be intimidated at all by Miami or anyone else.

oh. fuck. yeah.

you know bernstein is creaming his pants at this thought, right?

i refuse to believe that thing on his head is a birthmark... i like to think it's a scar from a 40 bottle getting cracked over his head... cuz he's a black thug and therefore only he can battle rap. ask hova!

Bulls in the market for a retired Piston crybaby with an outside jumpshot?

Bird's head looks like a fucking corpse - damn!

What about?

No thanks

pass on sheed, the bulls already have one washed up former piston

You always need the one crazy on the team, and the Bulls don't have one....Sheed would be perfect.

not playing kurt thomas against the hawks and only in game 5 against the heat is pretty crazy.

True, but they won the game, that's all that matters.

I doubt he has anything left in the tank and is probably really fat right now but why the hell not. I always liked Sheed. The Bulls need someone who can teach them how to whine to the refs better.

_________________

Bring in 'Sheed?


No.

Gar-Pax have said several times they still would like to add a Big to the roster. When you start to look at the options there is not much out there. So why not give him a chance? Even if there is not much left in the tank he is probably a better option than anyone else available.

Yeah. I'm not with the "what could it hurt?" people. He'd be a waste of space. And could possibly be a distraction...no thanks...

What would he bring to the Bulls, though? Really, he was really, really bad last year and showed he nothing left.

Is he the "best" of the crap left out there? If so, that's great but it would still mean that the Bulls would be adding a bad player who is out of shape onto their roster.

But, as the masses have said, "what could it hurt". It may not hurt but it most likely won't help.

If you get an injury to a big he could come in and eat some minutes. That's about the best case scenario at this point.
