    Ben Wallace might be the biggest draw in free agency, which begins Saturday, but the Bulls are more likely to sign Joel Przybilla or Nazr Mohammed.

    The Pistons' Wallace, 31, is expected to command a huge contract, one that probably will be too expensive for the Bulls, a team source said. In his next deal, Wallace, the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year and an unrestricted free agent, could end up averaging nearly double the $7.35 million he made last season.

    The Bulls would be satisfied with either Przybilla or Mohammed, both centers capable of anchoring a frontcourt with too many liabilities last season. Like Wallace, Przybilla and Mohammed are unrestricted free agents.

    Przybilla and Mohammed are experienced veterans with modest statistics. Mohammed averaged 6.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game last season for the Spurs. Przybilla averaged 6.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.32 blocks per game for Portland.</div>

    I like Mohammed, because I have seen him play ore, but I wouldn’t be disappointed once so ever to see Pryzbella and his 2 blocks a game starting along side Tyrus Thomas next year. Both players have their negatives, neither are going to go out and get you 20 and 10 a night, but there great veterans. Something we need on this team. Considering we don’t sign Ben Wallace we could potentially bring both of these guys to Chicago.

    I'm not a big fan of the Pryz, Mohammed I'd like.

    Who is better on offense? or neither of them are any good.

    We still only have one scoring big man.

    Both can hold there own during his time in NY Mohammad was a great offensive center. He only averaged six points this past season, but if you look at his minutes per game you will see why. In only 17 minutes a night he managed to get as many points as Chandler gets in 40 minutes of action some nights. His points per 48 minutes is crazy. Same with Pryzbella he had some trouble with the Blazers this past season. He was very out spoken about his desire to leave Portland and ended up only playing 57 games this year. However, he too managed to put up some impressive offensive numbers in limited play. He only averaged 25 minutes a night. Along with seven rebounds.

    Joel will give you more on the boards and in the block category. Nazr will give you more offense, and better free throw shooting. It’s really a matter of who fits the team better, and with Tyrus, Chandler, and possibly Ben Wallace on the team. Mohammad would be the better fit.

    I don't think we'll get Ben Wallace, probably too much money. Przybilla put up good numbers, never seen him play though. I've seen Mohammed play with the Spurs before. Is Malik not going to be signed back? Liked his jump shooting. Do you guys think Tyrus will start at the start of the season? It's probably a definite yes right now, because we have no other PF?
