Celtics After Rasheed Wallace

In this day and age of the NBA, it’s just not the General Managers and owners meeting with players trying to woo them to join the team. Kevin Garnett has personally met with Rasheed Wallace to try and convince him to join the Celtics this season. It’s very unlikely that Wallace will return to the Pistons and a championship contending team is more than likely his next destination. With Glen Davis being on the free agent market and the Celtics being kind of financially strapped, Sheed may be a cheaper solution to that problem. The only question is whether or not he’ll enjoy and embrace the role of coming off of the bench kind of like Davis did. Wallace has been a starter for quite some time and was an all-star power forward in this league not too long ago. Maybe those talks with Garnett would have let him know to leave his ego at the door.

In other Celtics news, during the week of the draft, Rajon Rondo’s name popped up in many trade rumors. Although Celtics General Manager Danny Angie denied those rumors, the rumor involving the Pistons sending Stuckey, Prince, and Hamliton to Boston for Rondo and Allen was supposedly offered by the Celtics. Rondo is one of the premire point guards in this league and toying with the possibility of trading him is not something the Celtics should be doing, especially if guards like Mike Conley and Rodney Stuckey are supposed to be the ones coming in and replacing him.
