Update: Tanguay's GUT says Rasheed Wallace to Boston looks to be a done deal

[Jack_Frost]

I hope this rumor is not true.

- 35 yeras old (We are always older, older, older and older)
- Bad 2008/2009 statistics: 6,5 pts in playoff
- Injury prone: 66 games played last year, missed 16
- Full MLE for sheed? It's a wrong move

We are getting older, and older, and older, and...

this is what Tanguay has on his blog on csn's website


Rasheed in Green.

"As we told you last week on Sports Tonight the Celtics would love to get Rasheed Wallace to come off the bench this year. As we grow closer to the post July 1st NBA free agent signing period the chances of Rasheed wearing green this coming season are very good.
He is good friends with Keving Garnett and he has a great interest in coming here.
My gut tells me Rasheed  Wallace will be come a Celtic soon."

I just dont trust Tanguay but I hope he's right.

Hahahahaha so all of this commotion is based on his gut.

Screw that guy, he knows nothing.

Unlike other GM's, Danny doesn't come off as the type of GM that would try to negotiate before July 1st. I'm sure most GM's do, but Danny seems like a straight laced by the rules guy. I remember a few years they video taped Toronto's draft war room and their GM called Danny to ask about Marcus Williams and Danny seemed to think it was unethical to only share info with Toronto. i think many GM's and FA's are negotiating now, but Danny will wait until July 1st.

Danny just today said there were different types of free agents. August 15th free agents, August 1st free agents and July 1st free agents.

How could he say there were July 1st free agents and not be a guy that doesn't whisper through people to other people who might happen to mention to Rasheed Wallace's agent that the C's might be willing to do a 2 year full MLE for Sheed?

Personally I think the Celtics sign someone, maybe Rasheed, less than ten minutes after the free agency period opens.

I think Danny works hard and will be prepared come July 1st, but I don't see him negotiating a deal (like the Clippers did with Baron Davis) prior to July 1st. I'd be shocked if the Celtics sign someone by 12:10 AM on Wednesday, but if they do you have permission to rub it in.

I totally disagree.  Danny seems pretty slippery to me.  I wouldn't put anything past him..

shaq and wallace are comin off the bench for cleveland

I'd love everything about this.  Gasol having to deal with Wallace/Perkins/Garnett throughout a game would be severely held in check.

Love the sound of it, get it done Danny!

wait. that's it?!! his gut? that's all this was based on?

This Deal would be HUGE i too would love everthing about this although it prolly means we will lose either Bib Baby or Leon..

[vagrantwade]

Why would he come to Boston to come off the bench when he can go start for Orlando or SAS?

I think going for thirds on anyone's seafood casserole might be ill advised...also on the ill advised list should be believing Tanguay without other reports and/or sources to verify.

I'm not holding my breath...for long.
