Isn't Ben a restricted free agent?

Detroit has offered 4 years 48 million. Ben will squeeze a few more out of Dumars and stay in Detroit. I cant see him going to Chicago.

If they get Ben, one would assume they'd deal Chandler, who is somewhat redundant now.

Bulls get even scarier.

And they still have some cap space...

Wow, if this is true, great move for the Bulls. They'll be one of the top teams in the east next year and thereafter.

<sarcasm>It's amazing that the Bulls pulled this off, even though we all know that cap space isn't important.</sarcasm>
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Its not anywhere near a done deal at this time. I heard on 1050 espn radio about 30 mins ago that he has two offers on the table and has not made up his mind yet. My money says he will get Detroit to match.

For the last six years, Ben Wallace has been the face of the Detroit Pistons. No more.

A league source told ESPN.com Monday night that Wallace has told the Pistons he has accepted an offer from the Chicago Bulls.

While exact details are unavailable, the offer is thought to be a four-year, $52 million deal.

A deal can't become official until July 12, when the salary cap is set for the 2006-07 season and exact contract values can be computed.

if I am Wallace and looking at the rosters of both and think of what will happen over the next 4 years, it's a simple answer (especially if you don't mind switching cities).

I can only surmise that Dumars miscalculated on the 4-year $$$ and that the coaching choice may have had a little to do with it.
