Rasheed Wallace to Sign With Celtics

I'd heard the rumors, but apparently it's official now. Wallace is up there in age much like the rest of the Celtics... but if the team can stay healthy, they should have another good shot of winning the championship again.
http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball ... f_wallace/Wallace is expected to receive a two-year deal at the midlevel exception (approximately $5.6 million to $5.8 million).
All-Stars Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce, plus president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, coach Doc Rivers, and owner Wyc Grousbeck visited Wallace in his suburban Detroit home last week. After the three-hour meeting, Wallace, 34, indicated he also would be considering overtures from Orlando and San Antonio. But Wallace canceled those meetings, informing the Celtics of his intention to accept their offer Wednesday, the first day free agents are eligible to sign.
