Re: Rasheed

But the thing about Wallace is that he does not appear to give a hoot about
the effect these technicals have on his team.

We have scolded Toine for picking up silly and unneccesary technicals but
Wallace is the undisputed king.  Even Sir Charles called him a "knucklehead"
on national television.

If we are trying to get a mature team together which will be a legitimate
threat to make a playoff run, shouldn't we be seeking out players who are
not the loosest of all loose canons?  Rasheed has superior talent but where
has it ever gotten him with his personality disorder?
