Rasheed Wallace wants to return to Celtics

Stephen A. Smith appeared on The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday and reported that Rasheed Wallace told him that he wants to rejoin the Celtics. Smith told Patrick that Wallace would like to come out of retirement for another chance at an NBA title, specifically against the Lakers.

Wallace averaged 9.0 points with the Celtics in a disappointing 2009-10 regular season, but the 15-year veteran was a significant contributor in the postseason, including an 11-point, eight-rebound effort against the Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

However, WEEI.com’s Paul Flannery notes that a return by Wallace is improbable.

   id like to see it… sheed is a borderline hall of famer, and he played his heart out in game 7… i didnt always agree with what he did, but he came throguh and it was sad to see him leave, after the 6th, fouled out knowing it was over…

   hes better than either oneal.

   true, Todd. Initially I thought “Rasheed Favre”, but you’re right. coming in now, he’s rested, and hungry. Couldn’t hurt…..

   It’s just like PJ Brown in 2007. Nothing wrong with it.
