Via Matt Steinmetz of FanHouse:
Still, no team upgraded more this offseason than the Celtics, who added the perfect complementary piece in Rasheed Wallace. Boston also mitigated the damage of losing Leon Powe by re-signing Glen Davis and acquiring Shelden Williams.
What makes the Wallace acquisition so good is that it was more a tweak than a revamp, which was perfectly appropriate considering the Celtics made it to the Eastern Conference semifinals last season with Kevin Garnett injured.
Those other teams – Orlando, San Antonio, the L.A. Lakers and Cleveland – did some significant rearranging. Who really knows if the Magic, with Vince Carter but without Hedo Turkoglu, are going to be better than last season?

Steinmetz goes on to raise the same questions about the Spurs, Cavs and Lakers while stressing the versatile qualities of 'Sheed. This is a point we've been making all off-season. Thank you Matt for preaching our gospel.
