Assolutamente, si è ammazzato di tiri e si vede. Certo può darsi che prenderemo uno swingman via free agency ma non è detto che non possa essere lui darci una mano.

Tornando a Sheed non vedo l'ora di vedere queste cose al Garden

IT'S OFFICIAL:

Celtics Sign Rasheed Wallace

The Boston Celtics announced today that they have signed free agent center/forward Rasheed Wallace. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"We are ecstatic to be able to add a player the caliber of Rasheed Wallace to our team," said Celtics President of Basketball Operations, Danny Ainge. "It is not every day that you can add a four-time All-Star and a player with championship experience."

Wallace, a 6'11", 230lbs center/forward, has averaged 15.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 33.9 minutes per game over his 14-year career. The former UNC Tar Heel has recorded 14 straight seasons of averaging 10 or more points, a tie for second most among active players along with new teammate Kevin Garnett and behind only Shaquille O'Neal. Wallace is one of 13 players in NBA history to make 13 consecutive appearances in the playoffs along with the likes of Kevin McHale, Bob Cousy, Robert Parish and Bill Russell. Wallace also is one of only three players in NBA history to have recorded 150 three-point field goals, 150 blocks and 100 steals in his postseason career joining Scottie Pippen and Robert Horry.

The fourth overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft has made four All-Star teams in his career (2000, 2001, 2006, 2008). Wallace has made two trips to the NBA Finals with the Detroit Pistons (2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons) winning the NBA Championship in the 2003-04 season. Wallace joins Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan as the only four active players that have posted 15,000 points, 5,000 rebounds, 1,500 assists and 1,000 blocks in their careers.

Alle 20 Italiane

Comunque sembra proprio un triennale

Wallace finalized a three-year midlevel-exception contract yesterday that pays $5.8 million next season less than a week after a three-hour meeting with the Celtics’ Big Three, plus president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, owner Wyc Grousbeck, and coach Doc Rivers at his suburban Detroit home.

Ieri c'è stata la conferenza stampa e la presentazione di Sheed in maglia Celtics:

"I've never put myself before the team," he said. "Five can accomplish more than one, no matter how great that one is."

Five familiar faces of the Celtics' basketball family took the stage today to introduce their newest member, four-time All-Star forward/center Rasheed Wallace.

With President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge, Head Coach Doc Rivers and his new running mates, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett by his side, Wallace met the Boston press for the first time.

Throughout the press conference, it was hard to ignore what was sitting over Wallace's left shoulder, raised high on the back wall of the practice court. It's the scoreboard -- a scoreboard that will serve as an indicator throughout the season to he and his teammates of what's taking place on the court during practice. Today it was an indicator, too.

The time of that scoreboard read "20:10", the score was all knotted up at "18", and the player section showed "30".

Translation: The goal of adding Wallace, the newest No. 30 to don Celtic green, to the mix is to bring home the franchise's 18th championship banner in the year 2010.

Wallace's main goal this offseason was to join a team that had legit championship aspirations, and that goal was evident by his initial list of possible destinations: San Antonio, Dallas, Boston, Cleveland and Orlando.

Boston was on that list, but that wasn't good enough. When the Big Three made the decision that they couldn't allow Wallace and his family to call anywhere other than Boston their home, they decided to take it into their own hands.

Ainge, Rivers and owner Wyc Grousbeck took a recruiting trip to Detroit to try and woo Wallace into joining their team.

Their arrival was expected, but what Wallace didn't see coming was three future Hall of Famers flying to Detroit to recruit him as well.

"As soon as I came around the corner and into the little conference room, and to see [Garnett, Pierce and Allen] there, that I wasn't expecting," said Wallace.

"That showed a lot. That showed me that they really want me to be a part of this team, that they'd open their arms for me and my family to be a part of the Boston Celtics now."

That recruiting tool worked, and now Wallace bolsters a frontline that Pierce called "arguably the best frontline in the NBA."

The arrival of 'Sheed in Boston has a lot of fans giddy, but the statements coming out of the Big Three today shows that they're pretty energized themselves.

"I'm just overly excited," said Garnett. "... I don't really chase too many people. I don't really go out and seek guys or try to manipulate, but this was totally worth it. This was my chance to play with another great big, another person who's not only as passionate but also as intense, and is [very] versatile skill wise."

Pierce chimed in to say, "It gives you an extra boost of energy. The last few weeks, it's hard for me to stay out of the gym."

Every person on the stage indicated that this marriage was one that was on the radar from the very last day of the Celtics' regular season. Allen spoke about how he, Pierce and Garnett held a meeting after their final game and decided that Wallace was the one piece of the puzzle that they needed to add this offseason. Rivers agreed with that idea wholeheartedly.

"Right when the season ended, you looked at the free-agent list and there was one name that popped out right away, and it was Rasheed's," he said. "Obviously we didn't know if we could get him or not, but we knew that's who we wanted."

With that doubt now being in the past, the C's are poised for another championship run with even more championship experience.

For those that criticize the move and think that Wallace's well-known temper might get in the way, he says think again. He consistently stated throughout the 25-minute question and answer session that he's willing to do whatever it takes to win another championship, and that includes coming off the bench.

"I've never put myself before the team," he said. "Five can accomplish more than one, no matter how great that one is."

That's the type of unselfish attitude that has typified the Celtics for the past two seasons. Both Wallace and those five familiar Celtics faces have one championship ring on their fingers from this decade. Now, with all of them on the same side that, they'll be looking to make it two.

Quoto. Certo che vederli in abito li fa ancora più vecchietti!
Non avendo i nostri Bulls velleità di titolo seguirò con particolare attenzione i Celtici
