It's not.
You want him to come, but what will be the trade? Or if we just plain sign him, what will happen with Nazr, Rasho, and Fabio? Will we lose our rights for Scola? Say how it's gonna go down.
It's not.
In someone's dream.
, I wouldn't sign Ben out right. He was a long term big money deal.
Fyck that, this ain't 2001.
Last year it would've seemed unfathomable to be skeptical about acquiring a great post defender like Ben Wallace, but if this year's playoffs is any indication of the long term future of the game, you gotta have some doubts about him on a team like the Spurs. Crazy, I know.
well we could do a sign and trade with nazr for ben..similar salaries then trade barry for jr smith and you have
parker/beno(talk about youth)
manu/finely(fire power)
bowen/jr smith
duncan/scola
wallace/rasho
yall like?
Wallace would be a salary cap albatross within two years.
You people need to pull your heads out of your asses. If Detroit decides he needs to be moved because he wants 'X' dollars, why in the would they make an equal trade for Nazr for that amount to meet the CBA salary matching requirements?
And before you say "Ben might take less", remember, he hired a money agent, Arn Tellem. He knows that this is his LAST shot at a contract, and that Tellem can get him the most $$$.
Sports Illustrated is reporting Ben Wallace wants Chicago among his short list of teams he'll consider this summer.
I know we don't really have so much to offer but is it possible for us to have Chandler?
Wallace would be a wonderful pickup for two years, after that though, you are stuck with a dude who is the decline for four more years. It may be worth it though because that would make your team instant favorites.
And Tellem if famous, as our some other agents for simply pretending there is interest in other teams, knowing all along Wallace will re sign with Det and is just driving up the price. I remember when this asswipe was defending Karl Malones cheapshots trying to pimp up the price.
The other side of the board has an alleged conversation between Joe Dumars and Ben Wallace, with Wallace saying "Just get it done quickly" to Dumars.
Not saying its impossible, but very very improbable.
estatic and all is BenWa not an unrestricted free agent, therefore no one has to be traded to Det to acquire him should the improbable occur.
if ben says im going to SA either way they might as well get a decent center
Don't worry about Rasho, Nazr, and Fabbs. We aren't greedy. I'm sure Buford, Pop, and Joe D. will have to haggle about the picks you'll be throwing in, but as far as player personnel go just the one will do.
(You get the rights to Bing's retired jersey in the deal)

Then he's DEFINITELY not coming, since all we have available is the two salary exceptions, neither of which will come even close to the salary that he WILL command from someone, either Detroit or one of the under the cap teams.estatic and all is BenWa not an unrestricted free agent, therefore no one has to be traded to Det to acquire him should the improbable occur.
Whoa. The Spurs are not going to land Ben Wallace.
I've been wrong plenty of times......but I really...really don't think Ben is going anywhere.
so it's not true he said he hates playing for Flip? He'd rather go to NY and join Brown? or play alongside Tim Duncan?
why would the spurs want wallace on a max deal and max years?
new york has no money and looks to me the knicks are dragging their feet on buyout so larry brown can not get a job elsewhere
It'd be interesting if LB is bought out and free to join his bud's staff in SA...
Ben for Timmay. Straight up.
Ben Wallace is overrated
F that, Rasho, Barry, Scola's rights for Sheed.
Even if the Spurs had the pieces for a sign-and-trade, I don't think Detroit would do a deal considering that they still see the Spurs as a roadblock in hopes of capturing another NBA le.
If Ben leaves on his own accord, I think he'll wind up in Chicago as they have a team on the rise, the money to spend, but, most importantly, the opportunity for him to stick it to his former team by playing for a division rival.
whoa, Chicago with Big Ben(?), +Chandler, +Ben Gordon+ Deng,+ Nocioni + #2 over-all 1st round draft pick.
Scary!
I wouldn't sign Ben Wallace to a MLE contract.
what scares me most is if Big Ben decides to join KG in Minny. Garnett is really aching for a solid center.
then there would be another WC solid team to play against in the playoffs..
