While I don't think it is a shocking surprise to anyone that Wallace is on the trade block.

The problem is so are Zach Randolph and Eddie Curry. So if you want a big man, they are out there.

I could see Boston wanting Wallace as he doesn;t want the ball, but they have nothing left to give this year.

MAybe to Denver for a pick and a young guard that can score like JR smith! Oh wait, we gave him away.

Where are you hearing this at ?

Let's not forget that we need to take back a big salary for a Ben Wallace trade to happen. So, we may be able to find somebody who thinks Wallace can help, but we'd be taking back their problems.

What about the lakers should Bynum's injury last longer?

$12 million in salaries is a lot to take back, and we're not going to get back any fix to our team, just another team's problem.

Sam Smith said this:

You take Kwame Brown's expiring contact of $9 million and add Vladimir Radmanovic at $5.6 million and it's a deal. The Bulls wouldn't want to take on Radmanovic's deal, which goes through 2010-11, but it's much cheaper than Wallace and may be the best way to get out from under his deal.

Radmanovic is an ok player. That number is high for him but he could be a servcieable big man off the bench to bring a center out to the top of the key. As for Kwame, talk about a bust.

I would do that trade in a heartbeat

trying to figure out why the celtics would be interested in wallace. they havent been getting hurt inside. kendrick perkins isnt exactly a protoype down low, but he fits in, does his job, and scores some points without much fanfare, and hes a heck of a lot cheaper than ben wallace.

he would fill that role i suppose if they already had him, i just dont see that as an area they would actively be looking to fill. that team is stacked with leaders, and cant see pierce, allen and KG wanting an overpayed 1-dimensional player who doesnt even want to be a leader for the bulls, come in during a magical season where they are playing so well.

It's all Jordan's fault.

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

thats true. dont forget, they have that spectacular championship leader james posey! that dude can shoot.

Plus as they get to the playoffs experience & rep will be important also KG,Ray & paul wont put up with his crap

Back to Detroit would be

I think the trade would make sense for the Lakers if they thought that Wallace's issues were more being on the Bulls than being washed up.

I'd be ok with any trade that involves us getting back an expiring contract. My point has been that if we trade Wallace for another bad contract/player, our team still stinks. The Lakers angle that Sam Smith brings up does help us. Sure, we'd be stuck with Radmanovic for a few seasons, but we can get out of Wallace's deal. That's a good move.

Ben Wallace would be a great fit on Boston. I don't know that a 2 team deal could be worked out though as Boston certainly isn't moving any of their big 3.

What happens to those shoes?

Here's what M.Stein from ESPN says:

This kind of deal might barely cause a ripple after the blockbusters we've seen lately -- and two sources close to the situation insist that it probably won't happen -- but New York and Chicago have apparently discussed a trade that would send Ben Wallace to the Knicks for Quentin Richardson, Malik Rose and Fred Jones.

Pardon our yawns, but it's difficult to imagine much of an impact on either team even if it does go through.

For the Bulls? I keep hearing that Wallace does expect to be relocated before the Feb. 21 deadline, which Chicago would undoubtedly regard as a form of addition by subtraction that creates more of an opportunity for rookie Joakim Noah. But that's about all it would be if these are the trade terms.

For the Knicks? Now that a seven-game losing streak has erased any of their playoff delusions, even in the East, Wallace sounds like little more than another past-his-best name for Isiah Thomas' collection.

The Bulls have fielded much more steady trade interest in another Thomas -- Tyrus Thomas -- but word is Chicago won't consider moving him now. Which makes some sense, since it'd be tough to get any kind of value for Thomas (as with most Bulls) because this season has been such a nightmare.
