To answer the question, Tyson will be better than Wallace when Ben retires. Not before then though.

QUOTE That reminds me, am I the only one who thought Chicago wasted much of its cap space for two extra rebounds per game, a mild defensive upgrade and the ongoing comedy of a Buckwheat-caliber afro? Congratulations, you get to play four-on-five for the next four years in a league where every rule adjustment favors teams that can score. Why not just keep Chandler for two-thirds the price? Instead, they overpaid for Wallace and gave away Chandler for a washed-up P.J. Brown and a draft bust that New Orleans was trying to dump? I don't get it. This is like Paramount Pictures signing William H. Macy to a four-picture, $60 million deal -- sure, he's a great actor, but that doesn't mean you pay him like a superstar. They will eventually regret this one almost as much as Wallace probably regrets filming that T-Mobile commercial that made him seem whipped this from the latest sports guy column on espn.com... I like the deal less and less everyday. Hopefully ben proves me wrong. |

Hasnt ESPN been slurping the Bulls this off-season.... if he is against the Ben Wallace move how is that being brainwashed by ESPN which have been very bull friendly this off-season. Also Chandler will never be the intimidator that Ben Wallace is now. |

Go ahead attack the source... But I'd feel a lot better if you could actually counter his argument. |

But from what I have seen it looks to me that more people like the signing than not. I think this guy doesnt really know what were trying to do. We are thearetically speeding up the timetable to win a championship here in Chicago buy trading Chandler and signing Wallace. Does Chandler have the same qualities Ben does? Absolutley! But, Wallace is proven and Chandler is still developing the rest of his game and im sure Pax just wanted to take a more proven player he knows that already has won a Championship. Dont underestimate the leadership Big Ben brings, its obvious that Tyson wasnt much of a leader. |

I loved Tyson more than probably any other Bulls fan. He was my favorite player on the Bulls since the post Jordan/Pippen days. I never wanted him gone but what can you do. Anyway, I pretty happy with what Ben Wallace turned into (Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes). And we do have Noah who plays with the intensity that Chandler did for us. Maybe we'll someday turn Gooden & Hughes into a trade for a stud power forward but in the meantime I think Gooden will be a very good player for us.

In hindsight, did anyone here or anywhere predict that Ben Wallace was going to be your classic "got his money and now is shutting completely down" veteran player? I'll admit, I never saw that coming from a guy who worked himself up to the DPOY slot from barely being drafted or playing at all early in his career.

Surprised I didn't post in this thread...
On the one hand, I figured Wallace would be highly useful for at least two years of the deal, with the last two being far more iffy, and I definitely think I said they paid too much. On the other hand, I didn't expect Tyson to become this effective. That exchange sure turned out like crap. |
