Here’s how badly the Boston Celtics believe Rasheed Wallace(notes) can be the difference in winning an 18th
NBA championship next season: Coach Doc Rivers and the Big Three were planning a recruiting trip to woo him, possibly as early as Wednesday afternoon, league sources said.

The Celtics are targeting Wallace with the midlevel exception and sources say the team – which could be willing to pay a steep luxury tax – is also pursuing Phoenix’s Grant HillSources say that Celtics management met with Wallace late last night, and that
they would be followed with a visit from the coach, as well Kevin Garnett , Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Garnett
and Wallace have a close relationship.


Boston officials are convinced that these next 24 to 48 hours are critical in overtaking the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference, and eventually, the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.

Wallace, who turns 35 in September, is the free agent power forward that most of the contenders covet, including Cleveland, Orlando, San Antonio and Dallas.


Says they are going after Grant Hill too. WOOO HOOO Get it done guys!

Wow, so it is true, soon the whole Celtics team will be on Rasheed's lawn, knocking at his door! :o

Good news, now I just hope all these efforts convince Sheed to sign in Boston, it looks a lot like the whole "propaganda" used by the team to convince PJ Brown to sign with Boston in 2008.

And the link also says that Boston is pursuing Grant Hill, interesting!

Sit Doc, Paul, Ray, and Kevin down, and send Rondo out to Sheed and Grant. He'll get it done! Seriously though, this is nice news. These are two of the guys that are on my wish list.

This is ambitious and great to hear. At least we mean business this year. No time for complacency in this market with all contenders looking to strengthen.
