magicbalala245 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 The Suns completed the buyout of Ben Wallace's contract Monday, creating a roster spot and saving $8 million in the process. Wallace agreed to a $10 million buyout of his contract, which would have paid him $14 million this season, and the Suns received the final paperwork today. The savings for the Suns is doubled because of the dollar-for-dollar luxury tax with the Suns still carrying a payroll that projects to exceed the $69.9 million luxury tax threshold next season.

Warren2ThaG Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Wonder what is on Ben Wallace's mind now, play or retire!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I know of a team that could definitely use a player like him...Houston. No center at all. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Ben Wallace retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 What was Phoenix thinking? They basically traded Shaq for nothing. What they should've done was to just buy him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Now we must get Ben Wallace... I liked what he did in Orlando series although he wasn't playing much. He still can defend in the post better than most big guys in the L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 He's gonna retire....I feel sad it had to end like that for him because he really enjoyed Cleveland's run last season, but he won a ring in Detroit. You never know....maybe the Cavs could resign him. Big Ben plus Shaq, though old, would be a deadly force of old men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I know we could really use a guy like Ben Wallace. But I have a feeling he's going to end up retiring. Too bad though, he was always one of my favorite defensive players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goods Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Maybe he can play a limited role for a team in need of a big men, but if he can't find a good offer most likely he retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 He might end up on the Pistons. Multiple teams are exploring bringing in Wallace for the cheapest possible amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple teams are exploring bringing in Wallace for the cheapest possible amount.I doubt he'll want to go to the Pistons, especially since they're not contending for a championship.

Sun Tzu Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I reckon Ben Wallace will retire. I can't imagine him playing for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
