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?

Terrible news for the Celtics.

Congrats Spurs fans.

(and I'm not being ironic, Sheed is washed up and can't defend any more).

[Vic Petro]

McDyess has to be the target.

I'm now worried that we are the team with a offer for Bass

[jcrod]

Wow, i really though he was coming here. Oh well, lets get McDyess and get that ring next yr. We just need a solid player at the 4/5 next to TD.

[timvp]

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.

[spursbird]

Damn
But won't he come visit San Antonio next week?

[Leetonidas]

I think Dice would fit in better here anyway.

DICE OR BUST!!!

[ChumpDumper]

He couldn't stand the thought of competing for minutes with Bonner and Haislip.

How can this be possible when numerous anonymous unnamed sources on the internets said he was visiting the Spurs this week??

[Spurtacus]

I will never be able to hope for a free agent to come to SA ever again.

Last year Maggette. Now Sheed.

Disappointing.

[Spurs Brazil]

And to Wallace

Had a chance to be a starter in San Antonio but want the bench in Boston

[bdictjames]

[bostonguy]

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!

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.

I agree and that sucks. We will just have to wait and see the plan. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee do not be Bass. Please.
