Yep the Chicago Bulls just made a deal with former defensive player of the year, Ben Wallace. 4 years 60 million. Sory pistons fans along with the rest of the NBA, gonna be real tough to score many points on the Bulls this year

 

i think they'll have a pretty decent team next year. They had a pretty good run this year and if their getting Big Ben....they'll dominate. All they needed was a big man. Kinda like the Suns. We really could have used Amare this year. With him we'd have a dope team.

 

Yeah cant wait, its gonna be fun. Whats the deal with Amare, I thought he was only supposed to be out for the first couple months of the season, gonna be back next year??....I think they will take the west if he comes back and has a strong year

 

Joe Dumars better have somone to fill the void. We should have kept super soft Darko.

 

are u forgettin ur in the same division as lebron james every1???i mean come central was just givin to the cavs

 

I play pick up basketball at least three times a week. I will always pick a defensive minded player(even if he cant shoot) over an offensive one. Keeping in mind, that he knows his roll and thats why he always gets picked.

 

yeah he came back for like 2 games and then went back out. I'm hoping he has a great year next season. If you can get a good team of shooters and then get a big man in the middle it's on then.

Oh and yea Joe Dumars better have someone to fill in. If not then he's jacked. All he needed was 10 million more and he could have had him. it's only 10 mill.

 

Im glad the Bulls got Wallace.......

Also My Team (Boston Celtics) are trying to make out a deal for Allen Iverson.... I must say that if the Celtics get him..they will be a threat in the east.... Iverson...Pierce....sounds good to me!!! that 60 points right there a game..

 

iverson and pierce will never be able 2 co-exist on the same team............

 

im going to have to agree with him on that one, now if they did that would be awesome, but both are ball hogs and they cant each score 30 points, more like 20-25, but still anything over 15 ppg i think is awesome

 

I am sad to see Wallace leave but the many is 32 years old and $60 million for 4 years is a joke when a player only can play one side of the ball. He career is going down hill, but at least he is cashing it in.

 

Nothing wrong with only being able to play one side of the ball, he is a defensive specialist, and there is a reason why he was 4 time defensive player of the and the pistons have been so dominent over the past couple years, because of defense. These days in any sport you cant win unless you have defense

 

being from the dirty D, i am sad to see ben go. but i hope the pistons go all the way and send ben pic's of the trophey with a sign that says "you should be here..its great"....lol

 

As a Piston fan, I think it was a wise move for all parties involved with this deal. Ben's stats were declining last year and it seemed he was not as dominant. You have to draw a line somewhere when it comes to paying a player money. Joe D kept his promise to Ben that he would offer him a contract to make him the highest paid Piston ever at $48 mil. It just wasn't enough for Ben. I wish him and his new-found retirement fund well.

 

can you blame the man?!@?!? he's already got the trophy, why not get the $$$ now....

 

The Bulls still need a #1 scorer to compete with the Heat and the Western Conference.

Ben Gordon and Kirk Heinrich arent going to cut it against the best.

 

If Ben Gordon plays like he can and Captain Kirk scores at least 15 a game and plays good defense they will be more than able to compete with any team, lets rememember that the bulls gave the Heat their biggest challenge during the playoffs. The Bulls offense needs some work and will definately get some, the defense is right where they want to be. If they dont give more points than they score they will win.

 

Chicago was already a good defensive team. I think they lead the league in have their opponents put up the worst FG percentage. The Bulls need scoring.

You heard it hear - Detroit will win the central , AGAIN!

Detroit got better by signing Nazr because now they can go after the Bonzi Wells.

 

I see alot of ifs in your post

There is no question the Bulls will be a good team, definatly a contender in the east, but just be glad they are in the east. I dont think they can beat the Heat or Pistons, and maybe the Cavs in the playoffs but definatly a huge improvement.

 

Wallace reminds me of Rodman.....

 

Thats not a bad comparison, Rodman was awesome and when he came to the Bulls they won 3 championships in a row.

 

indeed..
It Would be awsome if Wallace colored his hair with like multible colors.
