"An NBA source said tonight that Detroit free agent forward Rasheed Wallace has committed to sign with the Celtics on July 8 when free agents are able to sign. Wallace is expected to get a two-year deal using the mid-level exception (expected to be about $5.6 million to $5.8 million). Celtics All-Star trio of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, owner Wyc Grousbeck, coach Doc Rivers and president Danny Ainge met with Wallace last week. Wallace turned down overtures from Orlando and San Antonio to commit to Boston."

Get Grant Hill and im happy as it gets.

Wallace commits to Celtics

An NBA source said tonight that Detroit free agent forward Rasheed Wallace has committed to sign with the Celtics on July 8 when free agents are able to sign. Wallace is expected to get a two-year deal using the mid-level exception (expected to be about $5.6 million to $5.8 million).

Wallace turned down overtures from Orlando and San Antonio to commit to Boston.
The Celtics also have interest in Suns free agent forward Grant Hill. Despite a Fanhouse report that Rivers was to meet with Hill today in Orlando, its uncertain if he did and Rivers declined comment. All Boston can offer is the $1.9 million bi-annual exception.

I usually don't trust these kind of reports from a "source", but Spears is good at what he does, and wouldn't word it so strongly if he didn't really trust his source.  Needless to say, I am ecstatic.  Now lets get Hill locked up.

I'd say he's pretty good source wise....sometimes he goes off on speculation, but reporting something like this I would bet he's pretty solid.

FROM THE HERALD


Rasheed Wallace a Celtic

ORLANDO -- The Celtics [team stats] have reached agreement with free agent forward/center Rasheed Wallace tonight on a contract that starts at the midlevel exemption of $5.8 million, according to a league source.

The contract is believed to be for two years.

The addition of Wallace gives the Celtics the services of one of the best shooting big men in the league. It also strengthens an already solid defense and provides offensive and defensive firepower off the bench.

The agreement comes at a time when the former Piston had been expected to be courted by the Orlando Magic, San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks. Bill Strickland, Wallace’s agent, had said via text message earlier in the day that he was in the process of setting up meetings with those teams.
