Looking for Rasheed WallaceBy Joe Alexander on Jun 26, 09 07:52 PM There were reports on local radio and the Internet on Friday that veteran NBA power forward/center Rasheed Wallace is in San Antonio.
Wallace, who made $13,680,000 for the 2008-09 season (according to HoopsHype.com), becomes a free agent on July 1.
The Spurs are in a position to add a big man to their roster after giving up forward/centers Fabricio Oberto and Kurt Thomas in the trade for Richard Jefferson.
Wallace averaged 12.0 points and 7.4 rebounds this season. He averaged 6.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in the playoffs.
The 6-foot-11 Wallace averages 15.0 points and 6.9 rebounds for his career in the regular season. He averaged 14.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in 153 playoff games.
Wallace is a four-time All-Star and was a member of the Pistons' 2004 NBA championship team.
He appears to be a player in demand by some of the powers in the East.
The "Celtics Blog" says Boston is looking at Wallace.
