The hard cold truth is that Ben Wallace would infact make a very dramatic impact defensively on our team. Just do this for me...imagine our best center....now compare that person to Ben Wallace ..two time defensive player of the year... a monster who belongs to an elite group of only four players in the history of the NBA to lead the league in both Rebounds and Blocks at the end of the season. How is this not an improvement??? it doesnt matter whether or not he is just one shut down defender among the 4 of our other players on the court... will that be your excuse everytime a good defender comes along?? "O ..well i think we'll pass because that's the one thing our team needs most so he couldnt possibly make that much of a difference" thats just rediculous and doesnt even make sense. You have to start somewhere..and yes, Nellie would definitely jump on this trade if it were proposed.
