Antonio McDyess and several of his former Pistons teammates were shocked when Rasheed Wallace decided to sign with the rival Boston Celtics.

?The things (the Pistons) had going with Boston the last couple years, I was surprised he signed there, and not only me,? McDyess said. ?A lot of the other guys on our team in Detroit were surprised.

?It wasn?t genuine dislike between us and the Celtics, but when you compete so hard against a team, well, it would have been like Reggie Miller going to New York from the Pacers. You know the guys on his team would have been saying, ?Oh, you want to go to New York?? ?
