Marc Spears, Yahoo! Sports

" Back on a Della holly showed you heard it bill's not here he'll be back on Monday in my -- Nancy. The radio star. Is sitting and we can talk about some baseball and basketball as well because there are a lot of moves in the NBA. Here and elsewhere but here today at 4 o'clock. You'll meet the newest Boston Celtics. Whose name is Russia. He'd -- Wallace. And a guy who can help us breakdown Rasheed Wallace and all the other happenings in the NBA. Is -- mark spears currently of the Boston -- soon to be of Yahoo! mark joins us on the eighteenth the hotline -- delivered. Mark what's going on man."

" It."

" Our congratulations first of all in -- you new gig."

" And thank you very much planet's. Definitely a great opportunity to put on you know it's definitely even -- to normal on this. Our community globally and they've done great sanctions on very respectful salute --"

" That's not politically correct statement I appreciate that that's very nice. Yeah I'd like I say give me great opportunities there at the fabulous place and -- they're gonna about the basketball for a second. Is Wallace. I think it's a great signing for the Celtics a little surprised. When the player option for the third year what do you think they did that."

" could go to people want it on me remember he had update setup what Orlando and San Antonio and agnostic in October like world war or not found out that he committed on any legal bid that would Orlando -- your program that was San Antonio tune. You know title contending changed -- an insert him. Just you know even with the people that Boston. Brought out to -- well -- You know you you still typically do you don't due diligence especially veteran guard so pretend to turn that down in news somethin' must rapid. -- in the comic turn that for an epic was their third year and this is not soon. That's a nice deal especially -- guard the state whose careers or not. Surprised in turn it down."

" Mark the question I have is whether other teams out there and you mentioned the teams that weren't drifted in and Rasheed Wallace. Was this the minimum what do we -- as agent you know make that decision Sunday night say he's ready to come here we heard some nice things about the recruiting trip. That the Celtics went on was it is easy is paid first -- offers that thirty year that's organ ago."

" Or I'm not sure what I -- San Antonio into the but it then maybe he just thought that. If she got debt that the Boston. Look to burst. Alternatives. You know he's either and I don't think he wants to start at this point in his career. I think some of the -- the road you'll have -- fine. He's never been -- sister Coca or short individual stats and maybe when he looked at the landscape of -- preteens I mean like what San Antonio's -- You know getting Richard Jefferson and but. As far as Orlando concern of mythic about it they got Chris Carter patrol like whatsoever should skyrocket. They don't really have any bench now -- Turkoglu did mostly all student. But -- are wrong. Was another record to you know Tara moved on I mean they've they've lost a lot of players -- Q thirteen Q their branch Solana I don't know -- Orlando as a source. That they were willing to the final question of sort articulate -- have -- deal. There in you know situation. Which is sorted to have victory -- coach to GM and overcome your house and knock on the door -- divestiture a lot of weight to self insure our special edition."

" Mark Rasheed is -- Boston now while Antonio McDyess is in San Antonio. I I thought San Antonio in nice landing spot for big baby what does this mean now for babies -- got -- Saturday that somebody's gonna come out and give them the mid level exception."

" Well I think Detroit is the team is really win what -- wanna do. They have. The money that's thrown his way. Board but you know they know quite as restricted in the I really think they're just. You know Detroit comes after -- Live Adobe creative look at they're gonna do something that it no boss who is not gonna match so it. And that the Celtics really warm on and they might need to -- on his waist and because. I just think Detroit -- be really really creative with the system to decide to make Clinton offer sheet. Of the a couple of ability to do looking at. Right now I think biggar that there really like -- Glen Davis on -- has some interest Cleveland has some interest. Our own stability in eludes me -- on the war as does what are they can do -- assigned maturity and I don't know if they have anything that's attractive to Boston so right now what you need Detroit has by far the biggest threat. But the Pentagon is saying right now I think there's attributes -- the chance to whether he's been Boston or Detroit."

" Mark you look at that roster and obviously Rasheed Wallace's really helps the depth that at that Frontline position ballclub backing up Kevin Garnett and at times. Backing up park I don't see that. That's when man and not to say James Posey but that James Posey type I heard Grant Hill and thought that would be a natural fit. Now your read on the Internet this morning the knicks about their offer. Where the Celtics stand with Grant Hill and in the last couple of hours with that. The news of the NBA salary cap going down next year with the -- offering more monies that hurt the celtics' chances getting a Grant Hill. "

" Yeah our. Could -- that's a good question because. I think it does Islam are part of somebody who knows where pretty well and and he's been really comical some references agent put. You know. If it is basically gonna come down that this money -- championship you know what's more important tool and the hasn't won a title and I think it like a lower pol prisoner touchdown which means that there will be minutes available -- there -- that you read maybe summit to. But I also wonder you know it's doable disruptive student you know use their money in a different direction. There and see what Bill Walker JR didn't can do I mean you're talking about fifteen minutes to -- Poster guard Renault cars -- I'd really like their potential and what they might be able to do. You know I I think there's some creative thing to consult -- could do in that department so. I think that money could be better suited for maybe another big -- America's what are lettuce or -- it's murder. What are our Kevin's not totally ready years -- shoulder it's I think they're loaded the -- of our workload you know Tony Allen. Well target better player and they cheered. Troops and so."

" Nor are trying to drag and are now where it may not knowledgeable knowledge you know to audio. Kind of I got I got you on tape saying. That trust me next year Bill Walker. Will be the guy who gets -- is on tape you made that."

" There alone are not very good -- could be that the economic two did you you know is just nobody here is seen you know much. What is it is now I just don't start -- can look back up. Paul and yeah you don't look too very very talented guys there -- this year probably would have been lottery picks -- you know -- are particularly you know -- Well give more opportunity -- the UK is Joe Lieberman yourself forever. One -- give them a chance save some money and use that money in another direction you know -- you know -- that and that I think. You know I wonder graded like. Well why would this -- New York -- so interstate. And maybe it helped me get a better deal and scenic. -- I'd settle I really like those too young players -- can -- is sometimes you gotta get your younger are good chance you know I can -- if you -- for. Two or three years and should not portray them because they're not gonna get an opportunity."

" I'm gonna ask you about 2 teams in the eastern three the weapons yards on the Wichita about Orlando that it's -- that impressed. Out of out of Cleveland Boston. In the east and the lakers. Dallas and San Antonio in the west which one of those five teams can they all look like championship contenders to me. Which a lot of those five teams made the best move or the best offseason moves. --"

" CNN that's why you. You gotcha journalism -- kind of music collection might."

" Got a got about a guy who haven't come up and they came up. I -- it did to get the big about it."

" Thirty you know."

" And ignored. Dallas saying. Is very very interest -- you know of Marion record clerical and Eric I'm like what they're dual and they are like there try to elect their political than the -- They compute -- and a -- right now be armed some like the birth the birth. Right now Arctic -- and Antonio McDyess in the great friend and Richard Jefferson the great signing -- and to know we will be -- the -- to notably with European pressure could they let a little bit different. So I like San Antonio and they're in the -- in the western. You know are still here it always kind of dropped out of Boston won't help you -- they contribute to doubt he could in the big game away from American off. Orlando twice shouldn't -- being able to do that without KG literally harmful. If they're completely healthy assuming -- trying Glen Davis such Castilla. Boston chipped it to the I think McCain is better now better world when it won --"

" Well we find out yesterday through some sources at the four letter that it looks like the salary caps gonna go down the NBA's predicting mark. Some of the luxury tax going up potentially that number affecting salaries and when you hear that and twelve hours later find out that. Danny Ferry gave Anderson bearish now six years and fifty million dollars. Did you were you surprised as I was seeing that deal today bearish -- getting fifty. Million from -- the front office."

" Yes. -- yeah. But it started period. I hear the united bigger drag it did -- of obviously sure they're valuable brought about -- Doesn't look Larry you know. Gordon. -- may or may not be going that way I doubt if he goes in that direction. And this. It's amazing some of these the moment that they did I don't know that anybody else literally on there another caller. I don't know what a ban -- nobody is really. Really candidate and then yesterday they probably don't make that happen but that that number for their mid term surprisingly. Via the electric for a two game lead poisoning."

" Well -- and are in you made the point nobody else in on Danny on -- and bear -- is Danny Ferry. John just take the onus away from people talking about LeBron getting dumped on with this deal."

" Well -- funny thing is. He got dunked on and from everybody -- against Philadelphia's series against. They get dollar don't go YouTube that want I was discussing them there in the afternoon and everybody else -- showed the replays of the -- I'm sure the second -- in the San -- than it could be you know -- what better way to develop their blood are. I guess they're just trying to keep -- clean -- these young. Who. LeBron -- he does a lot of things that you don't see you know -- scoreboard. I contributed really really good agent so that didn't didn't have figured that the Euro are does not apart we are visible are -- here."

" All case right dot but he did a good job I got up you know this that's his journals and background nice rack but are you noticed he had an opportunity. He was right it was right now very. He saw his -- go up there and strike out if he was intimidated. One."

" You know if you get the story -- catalogs and way to do it -- way to -- for everybody you met that goal to talk about timing he messed up economy. You know and -- created you're not committed pitcher I would -- for a but it could be better."

" I don't need to be -- he wouldn't talk about right now he would be chasing down on apologetic would you rather spend time Hollywood marriage is now Rasheed Wallace and why it likely were -- and bare -- it to --"
