Sheed?

I actually don't mind it considering 'Sheed is an expiring, but I'd be holding my breath until the season was over, especially if Artest was still around.
Brad and Salmons for Sheed would work. Although I'm not sure what the Pistons are looking for.
That would give us a potential line-up of Hawes, Wallace, Artest, K-Mart and either Beno or a pg we draft at #12.
That's a really odd team. But I could stand if for a year if it's another step toward rebuilding.

As an expiring swapped for any of our long terms, yes.
As some sort of 34yr old answer to any of basic structural problems, no.
In fact if I were going to make that move I would make it today, just so that the trade restriction on him after the move would expire by the end of the summer, and we could swap him on over to a contender for some picks and kids.

You won't get picks and players and expirings for him. You are basically saying we should swap someone we don't need for Sheed, and then expect to turn around and deal that same player(Sheed) for multiple picks and players and expirings? He's not worth that much and if that did happen, the Pistons would just forget dealing with us and do that deal themselves. You can't expect to get "picks and kids" for every single player. You have to have a really good player like a KG to get that sort of offer. You might get A PICK or A KID but you won't get both, and you definitely won't get that+Sheed's expiring.
I rather just keep him and let him expire and have hella cap room. Ron+Sheed=21 million or so coming off the salary cap. The cap is going up anyway and we would have hella room if we made that deal. We could probably sign a major player.

Yeah. The only problem is they want good defensive players back (I think I read that on hoopshype something, can't find the link right now)

No, on the contrary, the Pistons could make use of players of the ilk of a Brad Miller or John Salmons -- they are shaking things up, but have not announced a full rebuild yet.
Meanwhile a team like San Antonio might be happy to pony up some kids + picks to nab one last shot at the title. Not high picks. Of course not. But you can nab somebody's late first and another piece or two without too much trouble if Sheed is that final piece for them. Its all about needs. The Pistons need a shakeup, but not necessarily a rebuild. We need a rebuild. And the third team (a contender or wannabe contender) needs that extra veteran piece. You are just functioning as the fulcrum. And int he process possibly doubel dipping for yourself -- losing contracts AND acquiring some kids/picks. No high lottery picks of course. But worth far more to us than a grousy old cancer who only plays when he feels like it.

I agree S.A might be more willing to work something out with us maybe future draft picks. But on that note Mikki Moore might just fit with detroit.

Rather have Sheed's giant expiring than some "picks and kids", especially if those "picks and kids" turn out to be like Shelden Williams.

Yeah. Although it might be a bit too early to call him a bust, I knew on draft night that Atlanta was picking him waaayyyy too high. It's too bad we never got Marvin Williams from Atlanta in the trade

No I'm pretty sure I read that same article, and it said that they might move Billups and Wallace
They already have a solid one waiting in Stuckey. Trust me, my east conference team is the pistons. I know more about them than you do.

Sheed's expiring deal makes it more excitable for me. Chemistry wise - yikes but we are in a rebuild mode and if him and Ron Ron goes nuts well as long as it doesnt affect our young players.

Sheed would be a bargain as his contract will expire and give us room to sign a free agent next summer. His defense is also stellar at the PF position, but his rebounding leaves much to be desired. I would definitely trade Salmons/Miller for Rasheed to open up salary, and clear playing time for Francisco and Spencer. The salary bonus makes it a slam dunk, not to mention getting a perennial all-star at a position of need for our scrubs. Sheed could also rotate over to Center so we wouldn't lose depth at that position.
