Bulls may be ready to trade Wallace
Wednesday, Dec 26, 2007 6:29 am EST
Serious trade talk typically doesn't begin until January in the NBA, but logic would suggest Chicago Bulls general manager John Paxson is ready to explore ways to trade center Ben Wallace.
The Bulls would have to pay a premium, but one positive is that his contract was front-loaded, which means from the original $60 million deal, he's owed $28.5 million over the next two seasons.
"Change is not always bad," Wallace said after Saturday's dismal 116-98 home loss to Houston. "If everybody wants to be here, we have to step it up."
The most obvious trade targets for the Bulls are New Jersey Nets Point guard Jason Kidd and Memphis Grizzlies center Pau Gasol.
