Technically speaking, Rasheed Wallace has been more than the Knicks could have anticipated.

He’s been a positive presence in the locker room and on the court, and get this: the player who holds the NBA record for technicals hasn’t been booked yet.

Yes, ’Sheed still has never met a referee he agrees with, and the more Wallace plays, his streak of no T’s will end sooner rather than later. But the Knicks can live with an occasional loose lip as long Wallace remains productive, and like the rest of the Knicks’ aging roster, stays healthy.

“He’s giving us so much out there,” Tyson Chandler said. “Not even when he’s on the floor but on the bench. Last year a lot of times my voice was the only voice out there. Now there are so many voices.”
