How would you rank the Pistons’ big men against the NBA’s top big men in the league?

Join us LIVE Sunday August 30^th at 8pm on blogtalkradio when we’ll take a look at the league’s top big men and see if Ben Wallace, Chris Wilcox, and Kwame Brown is enough to meet any challenge that the NBA has to offer

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?

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,
