NBA Free-Agent Signings | Rasheed Wallace to Celtics

Author: ark | Category: Basketball

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Forward Rasheed Wallace of the Detroit Pistons has finally committed to play for the

Rasheed Wallace and Kevin Garnett

Boston Celtics next season agreeing on a two-year deal that starts at the mid-level exception (expected to be about $5.6 million to $5.8 million).

In Wallace, the Boston Celtics are hoping to add a versatile player that is tough, a hard-nosed defender and is a scoring threat from anywhere on the court. He is however volatile and hot-headed leading the NBA in technical fouls for many seasons (even setting a record 41 in 2000–2001).

But he has proven that he can be a very valuable addition to a roster due to his strong desire to win. He was a big factor to the Detroit Pistons winning the 2004 NBA Championship. He is also a big friend of Kevin Garnett which might help him rein in his silly outbursts.

With Rasheed Wallace playing center, the Boston Celtics will have a possible starting lineup of Kevin Garnett (PF), Paul Pierce (SF), Ray Allen (SG) and Rajon Rondo (PG). Wow, the Boston Celtics looks to be a very formidable team on paper next season!

It’s a classic case of the rich getting richer.

UPDATE October 28, 2009: Will Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics reclaim their throne with a front court boost in ‘Sheed?

The Lakers, Spurs, Cavs and the Magic have also upgraded their rosters. It will be an exciting and unpredictable season full of surprises.

With a healthy KG, the Celtics are looking like the team 2 beat in the east.

I think they’re just a healthy KG away from returning to the NBA Finals last season. They should be a strong contender again if KG remains healthy.
