How would Ben Wallace look in a Bulls uniform?
Wallace, the Piston's defensive ace and the biggest name in free agency, met with Bulls GM John Paxson and coach Scott Skiles on Saturday, the first day that teams could meet with free agents. The Bulls have plenty of cash to spend on a free agent this off-season, approximately $15 million and still be under the NBA's salary cap.
The Bulls have always been a team built on defense, and in their championship years, they were the best. It wouldn't be the first time the Bulls attracted a Detroit Piston to the windy city. Dennis Rodman, tattoos and all, joined the team before the 1996 season. His defense helped the Bulls add three more NBA titles to the ones they earned in '91, '92 and '93.
It would be a great move for the Bulls if they can pull it off. As the four-time NBA defensive player of the year, Wallace's presence on the court can solidify the Bulls' defensive scheme. But Joe Dumars, the Pistons' GM, has said his priority is to re-sign Wallace. But if the price is right and the two parties can agree on a deal (Wallace reportedly wants five years), Wallace will be wearing red and black next season.
