Ben Wallace leaving Pistons to sign with Bulls

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Ben Wallace is leaving Detroit for Chicago, agreeing to a deal with the Bulls worth $60 million over four years.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2508742

 

Hey, Welcome to the site.However there is already a thread on this here:http://www.bball-world.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=8703

 

Sorry about that. I was wondering why there was nothing about this in the Bulls forum.

 

cuz theres hardly any Bulls fans on this site lol

 

Ben wallllace a bull woooooPaxson has 2 be the smartest gm. To get ben and have 7mill in cap space

 

IDK about that Bullz. He is giving Ben a huge contract, one that could come back to bite the Bulls in the ass in the future.

 

its only 4years. its not like we gave him long deal contract.

 

I might be a little late, but I need to say that this move automatically has the Bulls in the playoffs next season. He's also got an experienced teammate in the frontcourt in PJ Brown who will most likely start at PF to help him out. After the Jordan era, it seems as though this team is back on the rise.

 

Everybody saw this coming and its a good signing yes but it won't elevate the Bulls to a championship level. His rebounding and weakside blocks are nice, yes, but he is a huge offensive liability. On offense, the Bulls will be playing 4 on 5

Personally, I think this is the best thing to happen to the Bulls in a long time!

In all fairness though,I don't blame Big Ben for going to Chicago.As I see it he needed a change of scenary and there is more opportunity for him in Chicago.
