    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Michigan Live - Detroit's president of basketball operations Joe Dumars is confident that the Pistons will be able to re-sign key defensive forward Ben Wallace, according to Michigan Live. Wallace has one the league's defensive player of the year award in four of the last five seasons.

    Wallace said his decision on whether to accept the Pistons' offer or sign with another team won't be solely about finances.

    "The money (has) never been an issue to me. My whole thing has always been about being secure where you're at, having an opportunity to start a family," said Wallace. "It's always been about being secure."

    Detroit could offer him a contract starting at nearly $17 million per season, but he'll likely receive a four-year offer worth about $60 million.</div>

    Well if thats the case, it would seem he's almost a 100% lock to return, considering he "doesnt care about the money" and "wants to be secure", where he has been with us the last 5-6 seasons.

    Ben Wallace can only make your team better, hopefully Dumars and Wallace can sort out some agreement.
