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.
