Despite a claim by Stephen A. Smith to the contrary, Rasheed Wallace has no plans to come out of retirement and re-join the Celtics.

"I don't think that's the case -- for now anyway," Wallace's agent, Bill Strickland told FanHouse.

"He has a period of time to where he may be thinking about it, but he has not given me any indication of his intent to return. ... He's still saying that for now he's good, that he's OK where he is."

Wallace still lives in the Boston area, but the Celtics have the league-maximum of 15 players under guaranteed contracts.

"I'm here to tell you that Rasheed Wallace will come out of retirement once the (Feb. 24) trading deadlines expires in all likelihood, because he wants another shot at the Lakers," Smith said on The Dan Patrick Show.
