Rasheed Wallace News + Performance + Opinion Thread

[NYk_Reloaded718]

Can someone post a recent picture of him

Well at the start of the FA period I thought Jermaine Oneil would be the ideal backup but I suppose my standards rose when word of KMart or Birdman could come

But...Rasheed can't be any worst than Oniel and like a couple of you have said already he'll only be giving us 10-15

I wish he had been working out by now though! We have a game in 10 days so no way he's ready to give even 10 mins by then


Honestly we need to do like we did Curry when we were trying to condition him....stick him on Injured reserves until mid-November and just work on getting him back into game shape...

What we need from him

5 pts 5 rebs

Gotta knock down the J

Leadership on D

Not recent pictures but here is a recent video of him

This is very under rated, depending on how mobile he is, obviously its going to take extra hard work and commitment to get in NBA shape, he can be a force for us in limited minutes

Well, with NBA fining the flopping now, replacing Jefferies with Sheed aint such a bad move.

Sheed doesn't flop and plays hard defense, where Jefferies is a master at drawing offensive fouls.

I doubt JJ would have been fined, he takes charges similar to how Battier is always stepping in, guys like Griffin, LeBron, etc...they're gonna get it, not like they cant afford it though

Whats this "Mecurial" that Kenyon Martin speaks of?



False statement, the year we traded for him he had played bully ball with Denver, Just ask Vince Carter. And I would stay away from statements like that, hes played bully ball with the Knicks. Just not often enough...Im not sure what your definition of bully ball is. To me its backing someone down and scoring close to the basket, using your strength advantage

Im talking pure banger, Melo from 05-08 was so efficient because he attacked the basket more, now he settles for jumpers. Im not saying he doesnt play that way but he now shows flashes every quarter or so when before his whole game was predicated on out muscling his defender down low. I still think he is the best scorer but would love to see him in the paint more and only use jumpers when the defense gives it to him.

@NYPost_Berman: Rasheed Wallace tells Woodson he's ready, will officially become Knick as soon as Monday [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[BIG APPLE SPORTS]

Thats great now we just play. And K-Mart is such an ass he really thinks he deserves more than the vet minimum.

[TakMan]

We's Ready.

Great news he'll be at media day.

Wallace may be a big surprise for us this season, i'm hoping he comes back strong (i'm not expecting a whole lot from him though)

here is a piece from the article Stoudemire has been impressed with Wallace’s lights-out shooting from the 3-point line. (thats a very good sign IMO)

[finestrg]

I'm excited about it...The guy's always been a very good offensive player in this league. A STANDOUT offensive player in fact...And that's all I ever really wanted outta the backup 4 man: someone to come in and maintain the offensive threat at the position should Amar'e go down. We need that to maintain balance..I think this guy can still post up a little and still shoot..

Now if Amar'e did go down for a stretch though, is Wallace at 38 yrs old capable of playing extended minutes for a prolonged period of time the way a younger player could? I dunno about that..That's the thing...But if Amar'e could stay healthy and plays his 35-40 mins/game where Wallace comes in and gives us 10-15 mins/game, we'll be fine and it'll be a good move.
