I am not a huge Wallace fan but I think he will really improve the Celts in a couple of ways....

1) Having Perkins in the game is only for a low post presence with no outside shot. Rasheed can help move guys away from the basket giving K Perkins more room to operate or can shoot the ball himself.
2) He is a big body that can play good defense and help on people like shaq or Howard when or if perkins is in foul trouble and it keeps KG or Big baby from trying to guard them.
3) Yes he gets a ton of technicals but he hates to lose and knows what it takes to win championships and will bring that hate to lose attitude with him.
4) He is a Hell of a lot better than Mikki Moore.

With house coming back all we need is a backup pg and I think we are set. I would love to have stephon back and maybe signing sheed will make him take less money but for right now he doesn't want the veterans min. to play and that's all they can offer.

There are reports tonight of them talking with Grant Hill...that the kind of backup PG you are thinking of?

Hill isn't a PG. He's a F.

He played guard before, he's listed as a shooting guard/small forward on multiple sites.

When he still had ankles back in his prime he ran the offense as a point forward. That was a LONG LONG time ago.

Could be just the opposite... seems like they are looking to keep everyone fresh during the game, giving everyone all the breaks they need to pour it on at the end of the game.

That's assuming everyone's healthy of course but they might not miss a beat as one might argue that Wallace is able to play about 4 positions - and do it very well.

Rasheed could be like the 1980's Bill Walton addition to the Big Three.

Good call. Don't get me wrong, Sheed is not my favorite player, now that he's wearing green I'm a fan, but I'm think this move is huge for a number of reasons:

- Big insurance for injuries to Perk or KG
- Perk is great, but prone to foul trouble
- In the past few seasons, when Perk comes off the court - particularly w/o KG - the team has to go small, and they have run into struggles in that situation.
- Less minutes for KG means a healthier KG down the stretch
- A lineup w Rasheed at the 5 and KG at the 4 can really, really spread the floor. Rondo's penetration would cause a nightmare for other teams w Rasheed and KG drawing the opposing bigs to the perimeter b/c they can both shoot from 15 feet and out, Sheed has even greater range.
- On the other hand, Sheed has some post moves, too, so he can be a factor downlow, especially on the 2nd unit.
- Which leads to the last point - having Sheed be that anchor of the 2nd unit will greatly improve both the offense and defense of that unit.
