Wallace a Celtic
The Celtics have reached agreement with free agent forward/center Rasheed Wallace tonight on a contract that starts at the midlevel exemption of $5.8 million, according to a league source.
The contract is believed to be for two years.
The addition of Wallace gives Celtics the service of one of the best shooting big men in the league. It also strengthens an already solid defense and provides offensive and defensive firepower off the bench.
The agreement comes at a time when the former Piston had been expected to be courted by the Orlando Magic, San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks. Bill Strickland, Wallace’s agent, had said via text message earlier in the day that he was in the process of setting up meetings with those teams.
I guess this is because the Spurs did not truly show interest. Wonder why? If the Spurs end up with Bass or Big Baby I will throw the f up.
So he just gave up before even giving the Spurs a chance for their pitch?Quote:

(and I'm not being ironic, Sheed is washed up and can't defend any more).
McDyess has to be the target.
I'm now worried that we are the team with a offer for BassQuote:

It has to be that the Spurs didn't truly want him. Perhaps they told him the team wasn't willing to match the Celtics' offer. The timing is just too weird to mean anything else.
Damn
But won't he come visit San Antonio next week?
I think Dice would fit in better here anyway.
DICE OR BUST!!!
He couldn't stand the thought of competing for minutes with Bonner and Haislip.
:lol How can this be possible when numerous anonymous unnamed sources on the internets said he was visiting the Spurs this week??Quote:

Last year Maggette. Now Sheed.
Disappointing.
And :flipoff to Wallace
Had a chance to be a starter in San Antonio but want the bench in Boston
Shit.
Sheed is really accepting a bench role? Im shocked. Now lets trade Scalbrine/fillers for a good wing and keep Eddie House as backup pg and we are back as maybe the 2nd best team in the east. Great this means we are losing big baby!:depressed
I think either the Spurs weren't interested or the Celtics told Rasheed their contract offer was expiring by the end of the weekend. Otherwise, the timing doesn't make much sense.Quote:

just like Tully365 said in another thread, let the true Spurs fan view of Sheed begin!
so am I the only one who thinks Wallace AND McDyess are both old and washed up? or at least maybe someone else is somewhat relieved Wallace went elsewhere?
It's Haislip's fault!
Spurs fans were right!
On to McDyess now!
There will be no rabbit out of the hat.
If the Spurs didn't want to match Celtics offer I'm worried because that means they don't plan to offer the full MLEQuote:

Oh well. I think KG and Sheed deserve eachother anyway.
Was the MLE the only thing they could have offered Davis?Quote:

I think McDonald only knows about the visit because he read here. Now he'll read this and will put in his blog in 10 minutesQuote:

I am upset about this. I see no FA's that can put the Spurs over the top. I am hoping there is a big man trade for a starter. Everyone else is just a back up imo.
So Bonner would still be our starting center LOL
Wallace commits to Celtics

An NBA source said tonight that Detroit free agent forward Rasheed Wallace has committed to sign with the Celtics on July 8 when free agents are able to sign. Wallace is expected to get a two-year deal using the mid-level exception (expected to be about $5.6 million to $5.8 million). Celtics All-Star trio of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, owner Wyc Grousbeck, coach Doc Rivers and president Danny Ainge met with Wallace last week. Wallace turned down overtures from Orlando and San Antonio to commit to Boston.
The Celtics also have interest in Suns free agent forward Grant Hill. Despite a Fanhouse report that Rivers was to meet with Hill today in Orlando, its uncertain if he did and Rivers declined comment. All Boston can offer is the $1.9 million bi-annual exception.

I never really did like Wallace.
McDyess is a much better fit. :)
my uneducated guess, Spurs have Splitter coming so they told Rasheed no thanks
+1 :lol If the Spurs' FO truly doesn't want Rasheed, they're lucky they haven't had to take the abuse of spurstalk posters calling them haters or uninformed naysayers the past few days.Quote:

spurs better make a big move. can't go half-stepping this. if bonner is getting big minutes next year, i'm kicking buford's ass.
What's the over/under on amount of time it takes Sheed or Perkins to start complaining about playing time?
Sucks. He would have been a great addition to the current team. Then again it's not too surprising given how hard the Celtics went after him.
Considering who is still available, maybe the Spurs should make a push for Odom or try to do a trade with the Clippers. Bass would be a big disappointment. McDyess is an option, but considering his age and past injuries I wouldn't be too excited if he came to SA. If all else fails they could try to resign Gooden and maybe Rasho.

FUCK!!!!!!!!!! X 1 million
I wanted Wallace more than anyone else. I guess on to McDyess but I still want Sheed on the Spurs...
Welp unless we get Dice or another big we are FUKKED. I hope the Spurs cna pull something off.
Man, you guys are a bunch of panicky little girls. Give the damn off season some time to play itself out.
Damn. Well then, let's get McDyess or Pachulia. If not, then let's get Gooden back.
Signing Rasheed does not affect re-signing Big Baby in any way. In fact Ainge said today they are speeding up efforts to re-up Davis.
As a side note: Woooo Hooo!!!
(I hope the Spurs do get McDyess.)
This news would be better tempered with news of our own signing of McDyess or another great big. Maybe they felt they could land Mcdyess and didn't have to compete with the Celtics. I hope:rolleyes
America media is full of shit anyways. Spurs still have a chance!
Tough break for SA. They need a 2-way threat next to Duncan to match up with LA. Without it, they don't have a chance.
This is confusing from my standpoint. IMO Tiago would not be a good enough reason to give up on Sheed, plus it is unlikely. Sheed was seemingly the best fit and they did not think enough of him to put in the effort to meet with him? They are very, very shaky with the bigman rotation and going into the off season that was the number one priority imo. RJ was great, but a great bigman is more pressing. Duncan needs help. Who will be there?
Let us continue the ride.
well rasheed would of been nice on the spurs but i think SA needs younger talent...I like za za better
Good luck with Sheed. I really would have liked him for the Spurs. Guess he thinks he can win a ring with Boston easier than he can with us.:bangQuote:

spurs just need a big to play d, grab boards & put backs.
The only silver lining is that Wallace didn't drag this out. Now the Spurs can move to whatever other plan they have.
Fuck Splitter, get your ass over here.
So much for the reported Wed visit by Wallace.
Next up?
Can you find posts of mine where I was enthusiastic about bringing Wallace in?Quote:

It'll be interesting to see what the Spurs have up their sleeve. They've been quiet ... which usually means something is in motion behind the scenes.
ah, yes, Rasheed was a tad on the old side, wasn't he?Quote:

I hope we can find a more dynamic big man, someone who can rebound, work inside and defend the ballscreens.
You do realize it was not just us fans asking for Sheed. TP and Manu publicly stated he was their number one choice more or less.Quote:

I don't think it was ever an issue of if he could start or had to come off the bench. I truly believe he has no problem coming off the bench. It just shocks me that he'd join the Celtics.
But, oh well. I appreciate his time with Detroit and I'm still a Rasheed fan, so good luck to him in Boston.
Good point. Rasheed made his decision early enough to allow the Spurs make their move.Quote:

I'm not surprised from the standpoint that he would accept a bench position, I've never heard of 'Sheed being a problem in the locker room in that kind of way..I meant it as in competitively..you would think the guy would prefer to be a starter..Quote:

Are you serious? Are you aware of the Celtics history with Stern? The guy didn't even allow us to take Lewis salary off the books after his death. Stern and the Celtics have always had a very tense relationship, since Red days. This is well documented.Quote:

This also helps Boston against LA too..so that's the good news if the Spurs don't beat LA..
now to help our own team be a legit contender, it's 'Dice or trade..or bust..no Bass please, no Gooden please, no Varejao please..
Or they're striking out and are as shocked as everyone else.Quote:

Perhaps he will pull a Hedo and come to San Antonio. I will not believe it until he signs.
I think the Spurs will chase Powe or Bass.
Does this mean Bonner sticks as the stretch he floor big? :bang

The Spurs' primary target during free agency no longer considers himself a free agent. Rasheed Wallace has agreed to terms with the Boston Celtics, his agent has confirmed.
Wallace had been scheduled to visit with the Spurs and Orlando Magic this week. Asked the state of those plans via text message Sunday night, Wallace's agent Bill Strickland replied: "No. Playing with Boston."
Wallace's impending deal with is believed to be for two years, starting at the mid-level exception of about $5.6 million. He is expected to sign a contract after the league's free agency moratorium ends Wednesday.
