Boston has emerged as the hot new entrant in the race for Sheed. My colleague Ric Bucher from ESPN The Magazine credits Kevin Garnett for convincing Celtics personnel chief Danny Ainge to enter the bidding and for leading the Celtics' lobbying efforts.
Dear God,
Please let this happen. Not only will this help the Celtics extremely with depth, but it will make the Celtics one of the loudest, most trash talking, technical friendly team.

But seriously, this would be huge signing. If KG, can get Rasheed to take a pay cut and sign on. It'll make me cream myself.
***UPDATE***
Well I guess Ainge agrees with all of us...
"Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge told Comcast Sportsnet's Gary Tanguay today that he was interested in free-agent forward Rasheed Wallace, and that the team would meet with him soon. "I think he would love playing with [Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen]," Ainge told Tanguay. "The Celtics want him and he wants the Celtics," Tanguay said a couple of nights ago, sounding pretty certain Wallace would land in Boston(Boston.com).'
So pumped. I really do believe Tanguay, becasause he is not really a guy who just shoots off his mouth. Plus he would never want to do anything to piss off Ainge. So it looks like we might really see Sheed in green...
***UPDATE 2***
More proof...
"Sources say Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge and assistant director of basketball operations Leo Papile showed up on Rasheed Wallace’s doorstep just after midnight Wednesday to make their recruiting push.
"I know he is definitely considering playing for them," one league source said (Celticsblog)."
