I have to wonder: the blessing and the curse of Rasheed’s game has always been his fire. He’s attached, he’s emotional, and when the dude cares about basketball, he’s a force.

The battle-in-the-trenches and goof-off-in-the-locker-room mentality always appeared to be what fueled him. If he really has morphed into some mercenary warrior, devoid of the loyalty that has been a staple of his career since his Portland days, will Sheed ever be able to regain his former success?
