Boston Celtics reportedly not in market for Rasheed Wallace
Ease your worries, Celtics fans. Take a deep breath, Doc Rivers. Put your whistle away, Joey Crawford.
Gary Washburn don’t lie. (Boston Globe)
While the Celtics don’t regret signing [Rasheed] Wallace to a two-year deal, they were disappointed that he did not work himself into top condition that season. He had to come out of Game 7 of the NBA Finals because of exhaustion.
Wallace may have some value around the league as a top post defender despite his age (37). But the Celtics will not be in the market for an aging center whose casual approach was a concern even when he was surrounded by role models such as Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.
The final sentence of Washburn’s Wallace segment is euphemistic gold:
“There will be interest in Wallace among title-contending teams with strong coaches, but it may take him the majority of the regular season to get back into playing shape.”
That’s an extremely nice way to put it.

The current logic shown by Danny and Doc would require them to sign Rasheed and then feature him in the offense. The more over the hill a player is, the more Doc LURRVVVVESS him. But boy, Doc sure hates those young talented guys.
This team is demented, and its fans are even more demented.

Don’t think Sheed would have any interest in the 4-7 Celtics either.
His hometown Sixers makes a ton of sense … no pun intended -:))
