    After the Pistons game against the Bucks, Ben Wallace had some interesting to say about his 2006 Free Agency.

    "I've had a great time playing for Detroit, and they really helped me become the player I am today," Wallace said. "I think I'm at a point in my career where I can have full control of my future, and my future may not be in Detroit next year."

    When asked about what teams Wallace would like to play for next year he responded, "There are a handful of teams I feel I can help win a championship. Teams like the Lakers, Kings, Rockets, and Nets. But for now my focus is getting another championship with the Pistons," Wallace said.

    Ben Wallace has been with the Detroit Pistons for 6 years. Wallace has been named Defensive Player of the Year twice in his career along with 4 All-Star selections.

    The 6'9", 240lbs veteran is in his 10th NBA season heading into the 2006 Free Agency this summer. The man known as "Big Ben" is averaging 7.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. His team the Detroit Pistons, currently have a record of 58-14 and are in 1st place in the Eastern Conference.

    I would love to see Big Ben playing next to Yao, but I don't know if the Rockets will be able to afford him. We'll have to see this summer.

    HOLY FREAKING ****!!!!!!

    BEN WALLACE ON THE NETS, KINGS , OR LAKERS!!!!!!

    WOWZA!!!

    I'm going to go change my pants now......

    Also I doubt he will go to Rockets as they already have Yao, Dikembe, and Stromile who are all valuable big men. They are playoff contenders on their own if they are healthy.

    April fools joke of the year [​IMG]

    I changed my pants for nothing......[​IMG]

    I can imagine Ben Wallace saying something like that, for leverage in negotations.
