Rasheed Wallace Wants to Be a Laker

Well it looks like once Kenyon Martin decides which contender he wants to play for the next in line might be former Celtic Rasheed Wallace.

Martin, 34, has visited with as many as five teams over the past two weeks and has another meeting scheduled Wednesday, sources said. He averaged 8.6 points and 6.2 rebounds in 48 games with the Nuggets last season. Martin wants to join a winning team that gives him consistent minutes.

Martin has been working out in Los Angeles, where he owns a house, and his hometown of Dallas.

If the Lakers don’t sign Martin, they could have interest in adding Rasheed Wallace, who contacted the team several weeks ago, a league source said. Wallace retired after the 2009-10 season, but has told friends he’s interested in returning to the NBA.

Big Decisions..Should the C's become buyers

What a difference a week makes. All of a sudden the C's are 10-10 and winners of 5 out of their last 6 games. Maybe not so ironically their success has come right after the Danny Ainge comments about his willingness to break the team up.

So with momentum on their side is it time to look at keeping this team together and potentially adding a piece or two?

The New Orleans Hornets are actively shopping one time "Green Target" Chris Kaman but reportedly have an expensive price for someone they openly want to get rid of. The cost is rumored to be young talent, a first rounder in this years strong draft, and cap relief. No doubt Stern is pulling the strings on those demands. Boston Globe writer, Gary Washburn, tweeted over the weekend that the Celtics would only have interest if Kaman were bought out. He would give the team much needed post scoring and boost the paltry Celtics rebounding.

If the Celtics did entertain ideas of a trade it would have to start with JaJuan Johnson, their first round pick and multiple parts to equate Kaman's massive contract. It would be hard to envision anything with Brandon Bass or any of the core Celtics being discussed for the one time All-Star center.

Celtics 93, Cavs 90 Highlights

Celtics hold on late, get revenge on Cleveland 93-90

Holding on, after accumulating a 20-point lead, late against the Cavaliers allowed Boston to extract revenge on the Cavaliers, 93-90, who stole one in Boston on Sunday night.  Anderson Varejao was the story of the night with his 20-20 performance, which included 10 offensive rebounds.

Cleveland wasted no time in setting the tempo early led by Kyrie Irving and Ramon Sessions attacking the basket.  Boston continues to over play the screens leading to easy lay ups and dunks for Cleveland’s bigs.  Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, Mickael Pietrus is raining threes.

Tonight it is 70’s night at the Quicken Loans arena.  When you lose the best player in the league, you become a terrible team.  When you are a terrible team, you have to figure out ways to get the fans to come out, even if that means rocking bell bottoms and an afro.
