BlueDevil Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Jul 05, 2009 9:06 PM EST The Boston Celtics have reached an agreement with Rasheed Wallace, according to a source. 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). 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. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60357/20090705/rasheed_reaches_deal_with_boston/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 So is he going to backup Garnett or will he start at center? He would have most likely started on the Magic or Spurs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Boston's chemistry will die now. Sheed will probably start. I love this because now it adds so much more to the Cavs/Celts rivalry. I'm all for competition. But each team will probably win both games at home this year. Still an even better rivalry now.

JWaLL Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I don't think the chemistry will be affected too much. Sheed and Garnett are good friends, and he gets along with most of the core of the team. I think he'll be a good fit, as long as he starts at center.

No 1 player can kill this teams chemistry stop being idiotic. And Sheed will not start over Perkins. Anyways.... SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, Allen Iverson might be the one guy who could do that. I thought this was the perfect scenario for Sheed. A veteran, no-nonsense squad whose main goal is winning a title. Plus, this team feels like they have a lot to prove now that Cleveland is getting all the media love. You bring Sheed in off the bench but he and Perkins will most likely play equal minutes. This is a type of situation that brings out the best in Rasheed as well. I've always thought he was one of the best big men in the league when motivated. If Boston stays healthy this year I think they win it all. This could be their last chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDevil Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I dont know if hes gonna like coming off the bench, but if he has a mindset that its good for the team, they could potentially win it all this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sheed will be their 6th man imo... they can't replace Perkins' defense... I don't think this signing is enough, they still need a wing scorer off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveLegit Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Just think of him as an upgraded version of PJ Brown, who was a HUGE factor during the 2008 playoffs. Sheed can shoot the three, play heavy minutes when Perk gets into foul trouble, play defense inside, take the pressure off of KG with him still healing from his injury, and of course, give you that clutch performance every now and then. The only thing I dislike right now if the fact that the Celtics didn't resign Leon and Glen yet, it seems like the requirement age in order to join the Celtics is above 30 years old. They need to get younger and surround Rajon with some decent potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
