12:21 PM ET 07.06 | The Celtics pulled out all the stops when their campaign to sign free-agent forward Rasheed Wallace started last week. And the tactics paid off as Wallace committed to sign with the Celtics, a league source said yesterday. ''Once [Wallace] had a chance to reflect on everything, and realizing what his objectives are, he just decided this was the best fit for him, all the way around,'' said Bill Strickland, Wallace's agent. ''He has always wanted to be on a team that plays with a team effort, and Boston won the championship with a team like that."
