Warriors, Celtics make Lee-for-Wallace swap official
What was long reported became official Monday, as the Warriors finalized a deal with the Boston Celtics to send center David Lee to Boston in exchange for forward Gerald Wallace and guard Chris Babb. The trade was first reported on July 7, but the Celtics needed to make various roster moves in order to facilitate the trade. "On behalf of the entire Golden State Warriors organization, we thank David Lee for his contributions both on and off the court over the last five years," Warriors GM Bob Myers said.

Report: Celtics looking to deal first-round pick to dump Wallace
The Boston Celtics have stockpiled draft picks over the years, and they are hoping to use one of their first-round picks to sweeten a deal that would allow them to get veteran Gerald Wallace off their roster, per ProBasketballTalk.com. Wallace is owed $10.1 million next season and the 33-year-old wasn't much more than a deep bench option this season for the Celtics. Boston, meanwhile, has up to 10 first-round picks in the next four drafts, making it worth the cost of taking on Wallace's salary.

Boston Celtics forward Gerald Wallace is starting to feel the old age get to him. The 14-year veteran has played just 27 of Boston's 65 games this year and will consider retirement during the offseason, reports The Boston Globe. "Hopefully, I'll reflect going into the last year of my deal," he said. "This is my [14th] year. You kind of sit back and look at your career and all you've done and kind of just evaluate your past and try to set up for your future and see what you want to do. That’s the time I'll do it, in the offseason." Wallace has scored just 23 points this season with 38 rebounds. "I would love to continue to play, but it's more about my family and my kids," he said. "I'm only 32 years old and I've been in here 14 years. That's almost half of my life in this league. My kids are getting older. They're starting to play high school sports now. It depends on if they're comfortable with me still playing or they’re ready for me to come home and be part of their lives."
