Rasheed Wallace mulling over NBA return
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.

POLL
Why is Sheed considering a comeback?
(1) ran out of money
(2) ran out of weed
(3) bored
(4) thinks he can win another ring

Honestly… I think #3. Wouldn’t rule out #4, though.
That, and him also thinking that he can still take many of these no-game having young bigs to school.
weed is pretty damn cheap, how does a star NBA player burn through millions of dollars of it in just a few years?
Without a doubt, squats are a cure for everything.

Heh, Rasheed must’ve been watching Juwan Howard lumbering down the court during some Heat games and thinking to himself, “how in the world is that dude still playing and I’m not?”
At any rate, I can’t see too many teams wanting to take a chance on Sheed at this point. The Grizzlies could certainly use Sheed while Zach Randolph is out, as could the Hawks with Al Horford injured. Maybe the Mavericks too. Lakers? Hmmm…
i want sheed to the griz
zbo and sheed reunion.
hijinks!

Having Zach Randolph and Rasheed in the same backcourt is like having a Lethal Weapon movie with Riggs and Gary Busey.

This is fun news, but Sheed’s done. He’s no Ben Wallace in terms of work ethic and athleticism. There are very few rosters in the NBA that I think he’d make as an end of the bench guy if his name weren’t Rasheed Wallace.

Yeah. I can only see this ending in a torn something-or-other or a blown this-or-that.

$1 says he ends up on the Heat by the end of the year.

If that happened, I’d be heartbroken, but as far as I can tell, I don’t think he’d be too happy on that team and the primadonnas he’d be dealing with. And, I also don’t think they’d be too enthused throwing Sheed’s crazy on what I’m sure is a more pyrotechnic lockerrom than they’d like to let on.

For another million or so, I think he'd be content in bringing them down from the inside.

You're Down.
I think Biz analyzed it correctly. But then again, Miami seems to be pretty good at picking up players who should have retired three years ago (Bibby, Z, Howard, etc.)
This is DBB, and this is what we do.

I'm really happy that no one here is calling for the Pistons to sign him.
This team really, really does not need an inherently self-centered player who doesn’t try hard when the situation around him isn’t perfectly to his liking.
And it needs him all the less when he’s 37 and (somehow, likely) even more out of shape that when he retired.
