After spending one year away from basketball, Rasheed Wallace is determined to resume his NBA career. The 37-year-old wants to come out of retirement and sign with a contender before the end of the season, according to multiple sources close to the situation.

Wallace last played for the Boston Celtics during the 2009-10 season, when he averaged 9.0 points and 4.1 rebounds over the course of 79 games. He chose to retire after the season, even though he had two years remaining on his contract with the Celtics.

Now, Wallace wants to make a comeback. He spent a large part of the offseason working out in Boston and believes he can still contribute to a team.

In recent weeks, he has been weighing his options and talking with a number of teams.

During the All-Star break, rumors started circulating that Wallace was on the verge of signing with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the two sides didn’t agree to a deal and, while the Lakers still have an open roster spot, no signing appears to be imminent.

The Miami Heat have expressed significant interest in Wallace and recently worked him out. Miami wants to add a big man to their roster and they view Wallace as a low-risk, high-reward signing. If the Heat aren’t able to trade for a big before the deadline or sign a bought-out center, they could decide to sign Wallace for the remainder of the season.

Seeing as we are in desperate need of big man depth, what can it hurt to re-sign Sheed at this point to the vet min? Give the 2010 gang one last hurrah. Give him five minutes off the bench behind Steimsma. He already knows the locker room and the system and he could be just the big man depth we need granted we don't snag Kaman or Oden in the mean time. There are definitely worse options out there.

 I wouldn't object.

He's better than a lot of other options.

Not to mention we can keep him out of LA and Miami. If he ain't winning the ring with us, I definitely don't want him winning one with any of our rivals.

Wasn't it said that Danny wasn't interested in signing Sheed and the feeling was mutual?

Only if he agrees to daily drug testing and to not shoot any threes ever.

If he can't agree to that then I'd rather have an NBDL all star

If JO is definitely out for the year, I'd give it a go.  I don't have high hopes, but if he's miraculously in no worse shape than he was last time he was here (unlikely), he could help.

He didn't help last time. Just cause the guy teased us late in the playoffs doesn't mean anything

I wouldn't take Sheed.  He had nothing left 2 years ago and since he's not played at all since he can't be in basketball shape.  I'd rather have Gadzuric...

This guy cost us a title by not bothering to get into shape 2 years ago. That's right -- a professional basketball player making millions who didn't care enough to get into shape for a title run.

Like Mor on The Simpsons when asked if he wanted to keep the fire extinguisher: nah, too many bad memories.
