Well, that didn't take long.
First the Chicago Bulls GM John Paxson offered free agent center Ben Wallace a four-year contract worth $60 million on Monday, a mere two days after visiting with the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
To make room for the 6 ft. 9 inch center, the Bulls reportedly have traded Tyson Chandler to the New Orleans Hornets today. The Bulls ran out of patience with the young forward and are giving Chandler a chance to develop with another team.
The teams have to wait until the NBA's deadline of July 12th to sign the players, however. After that, it will be interesting to see what kind of impact Wallace will make with the team. With Big Ben up front, the Bulls should be much improved up front and should progress from a mediocre team to a good one. One thing is for sure -- tickets sales will go through the roof.
