Latest Sheed Updates

Not sure if this is really new news, but it gives us a timetable to work with.

Rasheed Wallace is not expected to make a decision on the Celtics' offer of a mid-level exception contract for at least a week.

Update: Interesting to learn of the Cavs lack of interest. Also, it seems like the Celtics might be willing to go to 3 years (not confirmed):

'Sheed receptive to Celts, but will shop - CBSSports.com

Contract parameters were discussed -- it is believed Wallace would get the mid-level for 2-3 years -- but Wallace wants to hear other offers. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cavaliers have yet to contact Wallace, indicating their lack of interest. San Antonio has expressed interest, and the Orlando Sentinel reported Friday that the Magic have contacted Wallace's agent, Bill Strickland.

Wallace is waiting to hear from how many teams?

Sounds like he can’t wait to play for the Celtics.

All the other top teams are getting their guys, and quickly. In the meantime we have to wait and see if the guy we’re after wants to come, and, if not, be left with quite possibly no other options. Maybe it’s the fact we only have a bench role to offer while the other teams are offering starting roles. Maybe guys still just have something against Boston. Maybe it’s just the way Sheed wants to do business. Whatever the reason, this just doesn’t seem to be a good omen. I guess all I can say is, figures!

AInge seems smart, and then

sometimes he seems really dumb. WHy wait for this guy? It seems to me others could slip throuh the cracks if you wait for this guy at least a week, as they are saying. Sounds like he is playing cute again. It’s oing to bite him in the rear.

Doesn't look good

Sounds to me like Rasheed is looking for an excuse not to come to C’s.

The rich shall get richer, the poor shall get poorer

Milwaukee, Chicago, Houston (all teams that shall get poorer)

With Cleveland, LA, San Antonio and Detroit making big moves, Rasheed Wallace is the last KEY in determining how who pushes to the top to the NBA championship.
