Keeping Rasheed Wallace in their plans Comment July 16 Boston Herald
"Celtics management may be under the impression Rasheed Wallace is retiring, and his contract is their prime bait in trading for a quality replacement. But don't tell that to the players. Jermaine O'Neal, in not getting with the program, talked Wednesday of how he would like to see his old Blazers teammate come back to the Celtics. O'Neal can be forgiven. He's new to the game plan. But Paul Pierce had a similar response to the 'Sheed question yesterday. In the minds of some, apparently, the big guy can still play. "I'm not sure," the Celtics captain said of whether he believes Wallace is actually going to retire. "I've texted him a couple of times. I think it's still up in the air. I"
In addition to looking for point guards via trade, league sources said the Cavs have been interested in several free agent wings. Ronnie Brewer, a defensive specialist who averaged 8.8 points and 3.3 assists for the Jazz and Grizzlies last season, is on the radar. Several teams have interest in him, including the Chicago Bulls. Cleveland Plain Dealer
The Celtics and Mavericks have been monitoring the O’Neal situation, although one person with knowledge of the Celtics’ plans said they’re “not very” active in their discussions about turning Shaq into the Big Leprechaun
The Atlanta Hawks are ruling out the possibility of signing free-agent center Shaquille O'Neal. A source close to the situation said Thursday that Atlanta's ownership doesn't want to exceed the luxury-tax threshold of $70.307 million. The Hawks are about $4 million shy right now. FanHouse.com
There was a report of a possible sign-and-trade with O'Neal, who played for the Cavaliers last season, going from the Cavaliers to the Hawks for forward Marvin Williams. But that was shot down by the source, saying the Hawks expressed no desire to trade one of their starters. FanHouse.com

Several team sources maintain that (Knicks chairman James) Dolan consults with (Isiah) Thomas on basketball-related matters, and the fact that Dolan dispatched Thomas to Ohio last week is a sign that he still has faith in the former executive.

Penny Hardaway announced he is interested in competing for a role with the Miami Heat Thursday on an internet radio show called "The Bottom Line Sports Show."
"Mentally I was retired and physically I was retired. I was playing recreational ball," Hardaway said. "But when the decision happened with Chris Bosh and LeBron, I felt like I could really be good in that system."
Hardaway last competed for the Miami Heat in 2007
