Why for Orlando: Fills needs at PG and PF. Wallace would fit perfect into the Magic's lineup. Duhon would be the defensive PG the Magic desperately need.

Why for Chicago: They get out from uunder Wallace's ugly contract and get a ton of expirings. Battie will bring a lot of what Wallace does but much cheaper. Redick brings another offensive weapon.

Magic do it in heart beat. But Bulls??? I don't see why they do this at all.

If they want to re-sign all their young players they need out from under Ben Wallace's contract or else risk becoming the new Knicks with a cap number in the 400 millions.

and Wallace's contract put's us in a strangled hold...we wouldn't be able to make another move afterward...

We'll pass on Wallace's contract.

Wallace's contract puts us in a stranglehold for 2 years. But we are in it regardless. Orlando will only be able to improve via the draft or MLE with or without Wallace's contract.

Eh, bad for both teams really.

It's fair, but Ben Wallace is a bad fit next to Dwight. He needs a player that can at least make a midrange jumper.

The Magic turn this down because Wallace is not much better than Adonal Foyle and Wallace is 2/28 after this year.

Ben Wallace's contract is actually irrelevant to resigning the rest of the team.

But it would be nice to move it anyway.
