Looks Like Wallace Going To Celts

TheIntegrityKid · 07-05-09, 10:29 PM

yeah....they may get grant hill too...

Casperwaits · 07-05-09, 10:30 PM

JJ, they won't be favorites to win it all, but they should be odds on favorites to win the East. If they get Grant Hill, even better.

Boston if healthy will be odds on favorite with Rasheed to win it all.

An aging Rasheed? No.

Lakers are easily the favorites. I'd even take a team like the Spurs (if healthy) over the piece of shit Celtics and their old "Big 4."

KingRevolver · 07-05-09, 10:35 PM

Who wants to bet that Grant Hill gets injured? Phoenix has been heaven for the guy...we have the top training staff...like Shaq mentioned (and thanked for keeping him healthy all year long at his age) before he left to Cleveland. Grant Hill won't play 50 games in Boston - mark my words.

j0hnnyv · 07-05-09, 10:35 PM

rasheed is a huge signing. he is still a beast and will fit in perfectly there. with a healthy kg they probably would have repeated. should be a great nba season after the draft and all these free agent signings. more to come too

TheIntegrityKid · 07-05-09, 10:36 PM

Rasheed shouldve gone to the Cavs... with Shaq down low and Bron being Bron, him and Mo would ALWAYS be open on the perimeter...

He couldve gravy trained another ring...easily...Now, they will be in the mix, but not as much of a guarantee as Cleveland would've been...

I have to agree here... He is gonna be a part time guy. But if they keep healthy for playoffs... watch out!

KingRevolver · 07-05-09, 10:38 PM

Cleveland would've easily been a better fit.

KingRevolver · 07-05-09, 10:39 PM

Here's gonna be JJ's reply:

i think boston is great

what a signing

wallace is one of the top 5 players

tullamore · 07-05-09, 10:42 PM

Great signing for Boston. Wallace can come off the bench and back up KG and Perkins. Looks like Big Baby will be playing elsewhere. The Celtics need a backup swingman and they will be styling. The pushed Orlando to 7 without KG. A healthy KG, with Wallace and possibly Grant Hill should make the Celtics the favorites. Also Rondo game improved immensely over the course of the playoffs. Banner 18 will be hanging shortly.

Crash · 07-05-09, 11:16 PM

its horseshit my orlando magic desperately needed him and they couldnt close the deal!!!!!

TheLock · 07-05-09, 11:19 PM

As a longtime C's fan, I hate this move.

Wallace is a whining malcontent who will bring the team down.

Sad day for Celtics basketball fellas.

Chi_archie · 07-05-09, 11:20 PM

celts will be too old and infirm to ever get any continuity or chemistry together

Exactly right.

lakerboy · 07-05-09, 11:40 PM

Rivers boys had their moment in 2008

DeeWizzle · 07-05-09, 11:45 PM

Sheed and Starbury = Drama

KingRevolver · 07-05-09, 11:51 PM

Sheed and Starbury = Overrated Team Cancers = No championship

InTheHole · 07-05-09, 11:53 PM

Surprised Soprano hasnt jumped on this thread

jjgold · 07-06-09, 05:13 AM

Marbury will not play much, Wallace is a very effective biog man that will help and plays good D

SportsTerminator · 07-06-09, 12:58 PM

Wow Rasheed Wallace and KG down low in the paint! Hopefully they'll get a long lol. The Cavs, Celtics, and Orlando are the teams to beat in East. Well that's no surprise from last year. Yes even without Hedo Turkoglu Orlando is still a force to be reckoned with. Vince Carter drives to the basek more than Hedo and he will dish it out to Dwight or an open shooter. I say Orlando is a little more better now but having Hedo and Vince would have just SEALED the deal. The teams to fade in the East will be the Nets, Bucks, and Knicks lol. The Knicks trading for Darko Milic unbelievable lol. If the Knicks don't get Lebron 2010, they should start playing in the D-League.

Not buying that. They'd have probably beat the Magic and Cavs but would have had no answer for LA this year.

u know it looks good on paper.but is garnett going to be healthy?probably not can wallace and the big guys co-exist?im sure early it will be nice but the minute something goes wrong,so will the team.even though i cant stand the lakers.they are the team to beat

Charger42 · 07-06-09, 03:06 PM

Wallace should have gone to the SPURS! That offense was built for him. Instead of having Bonner outside shooting 3s, they could have a more talented Wallace shooting the 3 and help out on D and boards. Good pickup by the Celts, gonna be interesting!

jjgold · 07-06-09, 03:13 PM

My homemade line for Celts right now to get to finals is -190

KingRevolver · 07-06-09, 04:31 PM

Deuce · 07-06-09, 04:32 PM

Will be another Iverson move, mark my words. Nothing but drama and a cancer.

KingRevolver · 07-06-09, 04:52 PM

That's exactly what it would be...good one.

SportsTerminator · 07-06-09, 05:28 PM

Again I think Sheed will make this team better, there will be no drama. Everyone there wants to win...

And besides Sheed shows up to PRACTICE.

Tsoprano · 07-09-09, 08:53 PM

They should of won it all this year but that injury to Garnett bailed Kobe Bryant out

Looks like a good move, maybe Sheed will be a little more "enthusiastic" playing basketball this season with new surroundings.

jjgold · 07-10-09, 05:14 AM

Wallace is going to be huge help inside, outside and on D

he is a strong tough player

Great move!!!
