Detroit Pistons

gi trade na nila si Evans sa Lakers

It's a strategy for the Pistons aron naa pa sila kwarta aron i-resign si Ben Wallace, if mo-demand cya ug dako, the Pistons are gonna let him go.

correct!! :mrgreen: bitaw they have to let other pistons go para daku sab ang offer ni big ben. Kung ang other teams mas dagku og offer ni big ben against pistons, i can say for big ben is good bye pistons!!!

a quote from Mark Stein, ESPN NBA analyst:

"No less a source of intrigue, to me, is what happens with the Pistons' $5 million mid-level exception. There are rumblings that Sacramento's Bonzi Wells is willing to take a pay cut to reunite with former Blazers buddy Rasheed Wallace and provide the jolt Detroit needs after crashing out of the East finals. That would be an undeniable steal, especially after seeing how much Wells hurt San Antonio in the first round of the playoffs, but the Pistons also crave a point guard who can push the pace -- not a Chauncey Billups specialty -- and are said to be high on the list of New Orleans-Oklahoma City's Speedy Claxton."

Bonzi might say he wants to pair with Sheed in the team that drafted him.. but one obvious suspect was Bonzi might not be comfortable with Eric Musselman, Fratello's assistant whom Bonzi is not seeing eye to eye in Memphis..
Speedy Claxton agreed in principle to Atlanta..
and lastly.. Ben Wallace was quite disappointed with Pistons 4 year near 50M offer..
He wants to get the Antonio Davis salary years ago for Toronto ( 4 years 64M ) or the Karl Malone extension (4 years 68M)

If the Bulls or Hawks will make a pitch to the 'Fro, Pistons in trouble...

Sorry pistons fans....Ben Wallace has left the building.

If that deal pushes through, the Bulls may engage in a trade that will fill their middle woes... a 3-way trade cguro, atl-chi-gs:

CHI receives A. Foyle+cash
ATL receives Chandler
GS receices Harrington

Detroit may look for another big who can be at use in the middle, the names that obviously in everybody's heads are Joel Pryzbilla or Nazr Mohammed. Pwede sad Kelvin Cato or Stephen Hunter...

They'll gonna miss Ben ..but at the same time they wont be burdened when the time comes that Chauncey and Dyess' contract will be up..They will feel it next year but two years from now, they will be glad they didnt do it...

If you take the case of Larry Hughes, he declined the 5 year 65M wizards offer instead of bolting to Cavs for 72M...
now the Cavs has to pay a player who never completed a season to a near max salary..giving a max to Lebron..and Z having the Chandler salary will make it difficult for them to sign Goodie and Flip and attract fre agents...

Even with the Bulls upgrade, Miami will still rule the East...
