Rumor: Randolph to Cleveland

BEN WALLACE

[madmaxmedia]

Well, regardless of semantics I will say loflin3hree5ive is completely right about ZBo's trade value not being less than zero. It might not be much better than zero, but there's no way (and no point) for us to attach Kaman just to get rid of ZBo.

Also, at least a couple of times people seemed to have confused Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace in this thread. The OP's link said that Rasheed W. was probably the Cav's target, but if they could not get him they could trade Ben W. for ZBo.

If Wallace isnt a good defender then why did he win 4 defensive player of the year awards as a 6'9 center? That's what i thought.

He was an overrated defender then. It was often Rasheed Wallace who guarded the Tim Duncan's, not Ben. But Ben was a terrific rebounder and shot blocker. Now he has lost his athleticism, he isn't even good at that. There is a reason Cleveland who was in desperate need for a big to body up Howard played him 15 mpg in that series only 12.5 in playoffs. There is a reason that Chicago fans were cheering for his departure. Since he lost his athleticism, his D is no longer a major factor and on offense you are basically playing 4 on 5 with him on the court.

Seriously?

I would love that deal, but I don't think CLE would do it.

Z-Bo for Ben sounds good to just about every Clipper fan on the face of this earth.

Lol we went through three potential franchise players in one season from hoping in Baron to z-Bo to EG . we need a leader bad.

I think the Nets might could use a Z-Bo type player them or the Grizz.
