Looks like they're really trying to make it happen. Wallace said he's in no rush...

The guy who barely held his own against non superstar Kendrick Perkins? Just wanted you to clarify the situation. Are we talking about the same guy?

Allen (SG,SF) SF Pierce (SG,SF) PF Garnett (PF,C) C Perkings (C) 6th Wallace (PF,C) 7th Davis (SF,PF) 8th House (PG,SG) 9th T. Allen (SG) Honestly, we would be solid up front with 4 bigs, but we are still week at the guard position. Unless T. Allen improves (highly doubtfull), Kobe and Artest are going to give us a rough time. We have to replace J. Posey, a solid veteran on the perimeter to relieve Pierce and R. Allen. The problem is, I'm not sure it can be done under the cap rules. Maybe we could lure Marbury back by signing Rasheed, then trade House and T. Allen for a solid guy on the wing (SG,SF). I love House, but look at the roster after that move. PG Rondo (PG) SG R. Allen (SG,SF) SF Pierce (SG,SF) PF Garnett (PF,C) C Perkings (C) 6th Wallace (PF,C) 7th Davis (SF,PF) 8th Marbury (PG) 9th Example*Shane Battier*(SG,SF) This would be our core lineup:

PG Rondo (PG)
SG R. Allen (SG,SF)
SF Pierce (SG,SF)
PF Garnett (PF,C)
C Perkings (C)
6th Wallace (PF,C)
7th Davis (SF,PF)

If 2 years @ 5.8 million is not enough, then ask for 3 years. With the Lakers getting Artest, the Cavs getting Shaq, and the Spurs getting Jefferson, the Celtics need to get someone too. I am really hoping this happens, so a healthy 2009-2010 Celtics team can get back to the finals and get number 18. Please sigh Rasheed! If 2 years @ 5.8 million is not enough, then ask for 3 years.

Great signing for Ainge the Celtics.
