The Suns completed a contract buyout for Ben Wallace on Monday.

Phoenix acquired Wallace from Cleveland in the Shaquille O’Neal trade last month.

They negotiated a $10 million buyout for a contract that would have paid him $14 million in 2009-10.

What’s Going on World?

John W. Davis here.

I wonder did Ben Wallace give Joe Dumars the heads up on this one…

In my opinion, in his prime Ben Wallace was one of the best defenders the NBA has ever seen.

He had the passion, the drive, and the skill that it took to contain any post player in the NBA.

It would be only fitting that Ben comes home to the Pistons plays a year or two and retires in the Pistons red, white and blue.

You may ask WHY?

BECAUSE!!!  The Detroit Pistons have lacked a defensive identity since he left.  I know he can’t play heavy minutes anymore but he can still lead this group of young, talented but misguided players.

No offense to John Kuester, but he’s a first time NBA head coach and Kuester has his Pros and Cons.

A guy like Ben can be the shinning example of how to do what Kuester wants to teach.

Kuester says his team will always be prepared for every practice, film session and game. (see video)

That’s fine and dandy to talk like that but we’ve all heard the “ACCOUNTABILITY” song and dance.

Ben Wallace can be a coach in the practice facility and we all know he was heart of DETROIT BASKETBALL!

Joe, do the right thing!

Peace,

John W. Davis

-Top Listener Email: Richard from Howell, Michigan

I just wanted to share a video that our dear listener Richard edited and posted on Youtube.

The video is about Ben Wallace. On Episode 58, Richard emailed us and asked a simple but interesting question.

Hey guys,
what do you think about Ben Wallace? Do you think he will ever wear a Pistons uniform again?

I think if we traded Chauncey and Maxiell for him we could win another Championship with Stuckey running the point.

-Richard

Obviously we know how Richard feels especially after watching that Nostalgic video. Where did that Ben Wallace of old go?

If you want to know where Deven and I stand on this issue tune in to Episode 58!
