Austin Croshere is probably going to the Mavs for Marquis Daniels.

keep telling yourself that...
the thing that basketball players lose first... what they lose the quickest... is their explosiveness. ben wallace's entire game is based on his explosive athleticism, and anyone with half a clue could already clearly see last year that it was begining to slip. the man has no obvious basketball skills besides his athleticism.
so the bulls will be paying 15+ million dollars per year for the worst offensive player in basketball, and a guy who can't guard shaq, yao, duncan, garnett, brand, nowitzki, or any other of the premier centers in the league.
but if you want a guy who can shut down eddy curry and eric dampier, hey... you got your man.

Nobody can guard Shaq.
And it is absurd to say that Ben Wallace is the worst offensive player in basketball. Tyson Chandler is much worse. And there are a handful of guys in Tyson's category - those who can't handle the ball, those who can barely catch the ball, those who have no offensive game at all. Ben can at least catch the ball and put up ten garbage points per game.
Anyway, you've made your dislike of the Pistons very clear many times - you've never a had a single kind word to say about them - so it's no surprise that Ben Wallace doesn't excite or impress you.
And you're a Knicks fan - you're so used to bad contracts and cap hell....I honestly think you'd probably call any contract of that size that was given to anyone not named Kobe, LeBron, or Wade an 'awful' contract.
About the ECF....I've heard a whole lot of people predict the ECF for the Bulls this coming season...I've heard some who have said they're not so sure...but you're the only one I've heard say 'no way'.
It's not what's going to get the Bulls past that first round.
