Pistons Tried To Sign And Trade Wallace To Knicks, Sixers
4th July, 2006 - 6:51 am
Chicago Tribune - The Detroit Pistons on Monday tried last-minute attempts at a sign-and-trade with the Knicks and the 76ers involving Ben Wallace, but Wallace rejected both opportunities to come to the Bulls.

Wallace is set to sign a four year, $60 million contract with Chicago on July 12 that immediately will change the face of the franchise. [READ]
Isiah Thomas will lead us back to the playoffs in 2006 !!!

2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023 first round picks, all unprotected, as well as 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024 second round picks, $3 million cash and Mo Taylor's expiring contract.

I know how Isiah works.
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.

...that there was actually a reason to keep Larry Brown around after all? I think Ben is one guy who liked Larry.

I dont really see him as being as effective without Rasheed next to him but we will see. Chandler could be decent with him or if they get KG that could be scary. I prefer big men like Shaq, Yao, Hakeem, and Ewing. Big Ben is interesting, but I have always thought of him as a PF. Now if you stuck him next to a guy like Shaq or Yao, that would be scary.

i'm not saying detroit should have kept him at that money, but it is tough to lose a player of his caliber from a championship caliber squad.

couple of years ago it all seemed to make so much sense. they were a lunch pail type defense oriented club with the DPOY as their backbone, coached by a guy known to get the best from common-man type players. everything was in place, they had their identity and knew how to execute it, the stars aligned and they won their rings.

now it all seems to be Flip-sliding away...
