Wow, this early Chandler has a taker already in NOK for PJ Brown and another guy.
Watch out for NOK....they're a tough read come 2006-07 with CP, BobJax, Peja, West and Chandler as starting five.

Can't imagine how bad detroit will be big ben was the heart and soul of that team. And if your saying he was the reason pistons lost to miami dont think so shed was the reason they lost thanks to haslem's awsome defense. Chicago migth just go to the east finals but not in the nba finals bec. of one simle think they lack exprience. Think pistons will lose in hte 1st or 2nd round of the playoffs if they dont get anybody like antonie walker or just an alonzo mourning type player would make a lot of difference

imho chicago was the team miami beat the hardest because of their style. with its current lineup they'll be harder to beat. if the deal with NOK for PJ Brown pushes thru, they'll have 2 veterans who will guide them all the way.

i totally agree. losing Ben is absolutely disastrous for the Pistons. he basically made that team run defensively and allowed the other Pistons to be more aggressive on the perimeter. also, without him the Pistons have no dominant rebounder and no one that can defend Shaq straight up. bye bye Pistons in playoffs.

but am i the only one who doesn't like this too much for Chicago? nobody can score on that team. i thought a better idea for them would be to keep Chandler and give their max money to someone like AI or KG if they could swing a trade, or even Bonzi Wells. i'm not saying dynasty just yet, but maybe that's because i'm a Miami fan

...which brings me to the best news of the day: :jump:

ESPN.com news services

MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat have reportedly agreed on a five-year contract extension, with the hope that a deal will be finalized before the MVP of the NBA Finals leaves for USA Basketball's summer training camp later this month.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported on Tuesday that Wade's agent, Henry Thomas, said that he expects Wade to sign the extension, for five years and between $75 million and $85 million, on July 12.

^ melo and wade already signed up with their respective teams... but whats up with lebron?

**empy** · July 5th, 2006 07:39 AM

oh, and Nazr has officially signed with the Pistons. he's not bad but it's like dating the girl next door after being dumped by Heidi Klum :waah:

**Eismann** · July 5th, 2006 08:24 AM

This Nazr thing for the Pistons is what I'm talking about....Joe D is a genius or what? Losing Ben Wallace to Chicago is not a big loss because he already lost him during the playoffs to a wrist injury.....look at his free throws back then. I hope he recovers though....not unlike Ewing who eventually went down the drain after a wrist injury.

Now the Chicago has Big Ben, Chandler is on the block, they can't start two non-scorers. One very ver very very likely scenario is a trade with New Orleans for P.J. Brown and JR Smith. Chicago suddenly doesn't seem like a donut anymore. They are loaded, I mean loaded on the perimeter.

Ewing's injury was serious, I think he had all his bodyweight on that wrist, he broked several bones and ruptured several tendons... he wasn't the same ever since.
