Gary Tanguay, speaking on Comcast Sports Net, says that, through a source, Rasheed Wallace is on his way to Boston. He apparently has a reliable source, but it obviously cannot be revealed. Michael Felger, on WEEI's Dale and Holley Show, confirmed that Tanguay does indeed have a credible source. If true, then this would be a really nice signing for the Celts. While I don't particularly care for his offense (too many 3s), he does spread the floor well, and certainly adds the length they need on defense. Seeing as he can back up Perk and KG, he'd be likely to see pretty solid minutes, too. On top of that, if Boston signs him, that means that Cleveland, San Antonio, Orlando, and any other contender, cannot. Of course, if you read this, it may just be mere speculation on Tanguay's part. Just so you know - free agents cannot sign until July 8th. Negotiations can begin on July 1st.

From Marc Spears: An NBA source said that the Celtics offered Detroit free agent F/C Rasheed Wallace a contract using the mid-level exception today during a three-hour meeting in Detroit.
The Celtics All-Star trio of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, coach Doc Rivers, president Danny Ainge and managing partner Wyc Grousbeck all attended the meeting.
While interested, the source said Wallace was in no rush to make a decision.
Other teams projected to be interested in his services are Charlotte, San Antonio, Orlando and Cleveland.

From Mark Murphy: A league source confirmed this morning that the Celtics were trying to set up a meeting with Rasheed Wallace later today. The sit-down was said to be part of a series of meetings being set up with all of the teams interested in signing the free agent power forward/center. San Antonio and Cleveland — which introduced Shaquille O’Neal as its latest addition today — were also supposed to meet with Wallace today. According to the source, the Celtics are willing to offer the full $5.8 million mid-level exception, but were only planning on offering the 35-year-old a two-year contract. Wallace’s friend, Kevin Garnett, has been part of the recruiting effort, but he is not expected to be part of today’s meeting.
