The Boston Celtics are stronger on both ends of the floor with Wallace

In what appears to be a very crazy off season in the NBA, the Boston Celtics and the camp of Rasheed Wallace makes it even crazier. Wallace is expected to get a two-year deal using the mid-level exception (expected to be about $5.6 million to $5.8 million).

The Celtics All-Star trio of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce, owner Wyc Grousbeck, coach Doc Rivers, and president Danny Ainge met with Wallace last week.

Once Wallace signs the contract, the Boston Celtics will be one of the favorites to win the East or at least challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic. As we know the Cavs and the Magic improved their lineup this off season in order to rise above a much improved Eastern Conference.

Will the Celtics sign Big Baby Davis?

It seems that Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge isn’t satisfied with just having signed Wallace and looks to keep Big Baby on board. Baby has is being targeted by the San Antonio Spurs, the Orlando Magic and even the Memphis Grizzlies since they weren’t able to get Wallace this off season.

“We’d like to have it done soon,” Ainge said following yesterday’s summer league practice at Rollins College. “We have a lot of interest in Baby, and we have the ability to match.

“We like Big Baby a lot, and we have every intention of keeping him.” (via Boston Herald)
