Barring "a sudden change of heart," it doesn't appear Rasheed Wallace will come out of retirement to sign with a contender, tweets Chris Tomasson of FOX Sports Florida.
Wallace worked out for the Heat earlier this season, and at one point was rumored to be on the verge of joining the Lakers. Miami used its final roster spot to sign big man Ronny Turiaf — the Lakers still have an empty spot, but don't seem to be actively looking to fill it.
Wallace last appeared in an NBA game in the 2010 Finals for Boston against the Lakers. While he hasn't played in the league in almost two years, The 37-year-old was still moderately productive during his final season with the Celtics, averaging 9.0 PPG, 4.1 RPG, and 13.1 PER in 22.5 MPG over the course of 79 games.
At the state the Lakers is now, if the Lakers make the move, it wont hurt.
That’s a good point specially since hill got hurt wouldn’t b a bad idea to sign him for the league minimum
Wallace is a beast and I would love for the Lakers to pick him up for the playoff run, but I have a question, can we still sign free agents?
Yep, Lakers could still sign players for the minimum salary. Wallace would be playoff-eligible too since he hasn’t played for any NBA team this year.

they should sign him. he could be more of a three point threat than everybody else on the lakers.
