Celtics MAke pitch to 'Sheed

[Goodfellas]

BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/teams/celtics) made their pitch to Rasheed Wallace (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3006) on Thursday. And Wallace was receptive.

A contingent from the Celtics organization -- including owner Wyc Grousbeck, President Danny Ainge, head coach Doc Rivers and All-Stars Kevin Garnett (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3007), Paul Pierce (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3253) and Ray Allen (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3080) -- descended on Wallace's suburban Michigan home on Thursday for a three-hour meeting with the free-agent forward.

"Solid, thorough, cogent and very impressive," Wallace's agent, Bill Strickland, told SI.com about Boston's recruiting trip. "[They] definitely gave Rasheed and his wife something to think about."
During the course of the meeting the Celtics offered Wallace a contract using their entire mid-level exception. It is unclear how many years Boston offered Wallace, who will be 35 at the start of next season

They needed to bring the star power because they only want to give him a one year deal as a mid level exception for $7.9 million.

I think he may be too but you never know with a change of scenery.

If he gets his passion for the game back. I think he will do well.

Your right, if he plays with those guys he will fall in line. They don't need him to be a superstar they just need a good player that plays his role.
