07:23 AM ET 02.25 | There's at least one team apparently still with a need for Rasheed Wallace. CSNNE.com has learned that the former Boston Celtic forward plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. His return to action has been rumored for weeks, fueled by a decent showing at Pro-Am tournament in North Carolina this summer. It only became heightened by, according to league sources, a renewed conditioning regimen that apparently has him looking better than he has "in years."

Wallace is currently the NBA's all-time leader in technical fouls (as a player) with 304.[1] Wallace also holds the single-season record for technical fouls. In the 2000-01 season, Wallace received 41 technical fouls over a span of 80 games (about 1 technical every 2 games).
Wallace was also suspended by the NBA for seven games for threatening then referee Tim Donaghy on an arena loading dock after a home game in 2003. That was the league's longest suspension for an offense that did not involve violence or substance abuse.[7]

Nice. That's your go-to guy?

Must mean they are going to trade Pau or Bynum and they need a big to replace.

LOL...Unless they are getting a starting PF back in the trade then they aint trading either of them....

Come on now just bc his name is Rasheed Wallace doesnt mean he he is a starting NBA power forward at his age...HE is nothing except a 9 thru 12 man off the bench... a la Jerry Crackhouse.
