http://www.nba.com/2009/news/07/03/wallace.celtics.ap.ap/index.html BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Celtics have offered forward Rasheed Wallace a contract as part of a major push to land the coveted forward. The Boston Globe report on Friday says the Celtics offered Wallace a deal during a three-hour meeting in Detroit on Thursday. Celtics stars Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce joined general manager Danny Ainge and managing partner Wyc Grousbeck at the meeting. Wallace's agent, Bill Strickland, tells the Globe some contractual terms were discussed, but no agreement was reached. He said Wallace will be meeting with other teams next week. Charlotte, Cleveland, Orlando and San Antonio are said to be possible suitors. The 35-year-old Wallace averaged 12 points per game last year, and would likely play a complementary role in Boston.
wow, Celtics would be the new 'Dad's army' of the NBA where the former greats gather to get a ring before their careers fall off the face of the earth. sheed, kg, pierce, allen.... odd one out here is rondo, and its no secret that boston are trying to shop him.... all Boston need now is a steve nash/j kidd to complete the set.

Does Perkins move to the bench or will Rasheed be a 6th man? Either way, that looks like a heck of a lineup: Rondo Allen Pierce Sheed KG
Why didn't Wallace sign with the spurs? I think they really want him, and he would be a starter there.
They can retool that offense now with Wallace/KG on the court together. It could be very effective situationally. Oh wait Doc Rivers is coaching nevermind
Closing this thread to avoid confusion with the fact that he's "committed" now : http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=171529
