Celtics offer Rasheed Wallace a contract
Posted Jul 3 2009 2:13PM
BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Celtics have offered forward Rasheed Wallace a contract as part of a major push to land the coveted forward.
The Boston Globe report on Friday says the Celtics offered Wallace a deal during a three-hour meeting in Detroit on Thursday.
Celtics stars Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce joined general manager Danny Ainge and managing partner Wyc Grousbeck at the meeting.
Wallace's agent, Bill Strickland, tells the Globe some contractual terms were discussed, but no agreement was reached.
He said Wallace will be meeting with other teams next week. Charlotte, Cleveland, Orlando and San Antonio are said to be possible suitors.
The 35-year-old Wallace averaged 12 points per game last year, and would likely play a complementary role in Boston.
