Rasheed Wallace has always been a good player but the only championship he won was when he joined the Detroit Pistons during the 2004 season. This Piston group never won the Championship again. That team was supposed to go on a 3 or 4 year title run. Everyone seems to forget that the Lakers Karl Malone was hurt during the 2004 Championship Series. It would have been a different story with a healthy determined Karl Malone.
As talented as Rasheed has been he is now 36 years old and has a history of team defeating Sheed Blowups on the court. With all that in mind, they could still win the Eastern Conference in the 2009 - 2010 season if they stay healthy.
He is older, but can still ball and will play an important role for the Celtics this upcoming season if he keeps his cool. He averaged 12 points a game last season in what looks like could be his final year as a Detroit Piston. Wallace also earned $13.68 million playing for the Pistons last season. He will not make that kind of money with the Celtics. Probably in the 5.6 to 5.8 million range per year.
