Why Not Add The "Sheed" Factor?

Give me a reason why the Warriors should not add Rasheed Wallace to the line-up this off season?  I know, I know the main reason is because of his temper.  We took a chance on Steven Jackson and hes been okay.

What we need on this team is more toughness!  More people like Steven Jackson who thinks he is the best,  that swagger he has and not being afraid to take the game winning shot.  The confidence to embrace the captain role of the team and go with it and make others believe.

Most important we need a center who can score points!  It has been too long since we had a center who produced game in and game out and its about time we focus on offense and not defense.  I know this team needs defensive help, probably the most in the league, but one block and five fouls a game is not getting it done anymore.

If you were to ask any NBA fan what do the Warriors do best, they would say shoot the three.  So tell me why it doesn't make sense to add a center who can do that?  We don't even need to play him at the center position keep him at the power forward.

Rasheed is a tough player who loves the game, he loves to make that shot in your grill and then let you know about it.  Imagine Rasheed and Jackson in the line up together, both have three point range and both have tremendous post up games.

Potential line up next yea: Crawford at the point, Ellis at the shooting guard (who needs to work on his shot), Jackson at the small forward, Rasheed at the power forward and either Andris (who should be traded for anything) Turiaf.  Coming off the bench you have Maggette, Randolph and Wright (one of the two should be packaged with Andris in a trade).

Just think about that projected lineup, who in the west has the lineup to guard Sheed and Turiaf together? Lakers with a healthy Gasol and Bynum that's about it.
