The problem with Przybilla is that he's constantly injured. Look at his games played over his career. It's pretty ugly.

$16.8 million for a 10 year veteran.Quote:

Also unless you think Eddie Curry counts, Chandler never played with a decent front court SF and PF. I think putting Chandler out there to board and play defense and asking him to put up Ben numbers is not impossible. No question you can't replace the intangibles of Ben but I think you can fill his numbers void. Plus the likleyhood of a Noiconi be included in a deal is high. Assuming Delfino is ready to set up, Nocioni, Delfino and Dice and having the MLE and BAE to add a PG or C is far more appealing than losing Ben for nothing and having to get depth with the MLE and BAE.
Chandler & Noc for Ben?
Sign me up!
If we can get Deng or Nocioni in return for taking chandler off their hands, i'd do it in a heartbeat.
chicago rolled the red carpet out for ben. that's what i heard tonight...
i think in some ways he would be smart to go there. he would help them and they also have a bunch of young talent. so they could legitimately be a contender with another move or so.
plus he would get paid bigtime...
as for us, if ben leaves and we can't do a sign and trade, we only have the MLE and veteran's minimum to use. so it's not like we'll have cap room to pursue whatever other crappy FAs we might want to fill ben's shoes.
so yeah, we sort of our screwed if ben leaves. but then again, would we win a title if he came back? that's very questionable too.
so perhaps his loss might spark another trade or 2 which would give us a better chance down the line. who knows.
it just sucks so bad we don't have darko now. not that he could be our savior or anything close. but he has phenomenal talent and instead of possibly replacing ben, he'll be emerging as a bright young player in another team's jersey.
Exactly what does one have to do with the other?Quote:

if all they offered was 15 million. Ben stays. i dont know if that rumor is true or not though.
I heard Ben was in Chicago after midnight.
Tellam probably is paying ben's hotel fee to be there all weekend.Quote:

If I were tellam, I'd script this to looks exactly like the grant hill orlando visit, which is how things are shaping up.
Tellam's job is to drive up the market price for ben wallace. That's exactly what he's doing, and the way to do that is to use scare tactics on Joe. I expected no less.
