Fire Up Rumor Mill: Rasheed Wallace Considering NBA Return

Just when you think the whispers have stopped, we have a reason for them to begin again. The news in via Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports that Rasheed Wallace is thinking about an NBA return:

At 6-foot-11, Wallace, 37, had been one of the most versatile and talented power forwards of his era. One league source who has talked with Wallace recently describes him as “serious” about a return to the NBA this season. Nevertheless, no teams contacted by Yahoo! Sports reported that they had any contact with Wallace, or his representative.

When reached on Friday, Wallace’s agent, Bill Strickland, would only tell Yahoo! Sports’ Marc Spears: “As a veteran player, [Wallace] knows what it takes to be reinstated.”

Wallace holds appeal for several contending teams, but all wonder about his shape and conditioning after sitting out 18 months. Wallace played 79 regular season games for the Celtics in his final year, but the organization never felt he truly got into playing shape until the playoff run to the NBA Finals in 2010. In a limited role, several GMs told Yahoo! they still believe his scoring and defending ability would probably be better than anyone else available to them.

Naturally, the C’s will come up in any potential discussion about Sheed and A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com has us covered on that possibility:

A league source told CSNNE.com Thursday night that Wallace will give the Celtics some consideration, but “he’s going to look at all his options” before making any decision.

What say you C’s fans? Maybe the 37-year old can help the C’s with his offensive rebounding?
