If it's not obvious by now who offseason target #1 is for the Celtics… it should be now. The Celtics are going to send Doc Rivers and the Big 3 to try to convince Rasheed Wallace to come to Boston.
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 Hill.
Sources 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.
Damn. The C's are going hard after Sheed.
What do you think… would Sheed and Grant Hill be enough to fill the C's needs?
