			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, not the Big Baby rumors are old but guess who the Pistons are looking at to fill an oh so important roster spot.  Big Ben&#8230;.<br />
<a href="http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2009/07/ben_wallace_back_to_detroit.html" target="_blank">A. Sherrod Blakely of MLive</a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #fa8072;">&#8220;While there&#8217;s no deal imminent, the Pistons are going to explore the possibility of bringing one of the franchise&#8217;s greatest defenders, back to Detroit.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #fa8072;">Detroit has about $3.5 million to use towards free agents, but would probably not use all of that to sign Wallace.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #fa8072;">Boston&#8217;s Glen Davis remains an option, but the Pistons are reluctant to make him an offer because he&#8217;s a restricted free agent. And the Celtics have said repeatedly that any reasonable offer Davis receives &#8211; and Detroit&#8217;s offer would fall under that category &#8211; they would match.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;" title="Ben Wallace Cartoon" src="/images/no_big_ben.png" alt="" width="240" height="274" />Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I will forever be a fan of Ben Wallace.  I will celebrate that he brought this team back from obscurity with his work ethic and determination but&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>I just don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s got what it takes to play the game the way he used to.  His glory days are behind him and contrary to popular belief <a href="http://www.need4sheed.com/images/in_arnie_we_trust_poster.pdf">Arnie Kandor is a magician</a>, but he doesn&#8217;t possess the fountain of youth serum in his bag of tricks.</p>
<p>We truly have started to rebuild so tell me how bringing Ben Wallace back makes any sense.  I&#8217;m putting it to a vote for you, but you know how I already feel.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;">UPDATE:</span> <a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20090714/SPORTS03/90714073/1048/sports/Source--Pistons-not-currently-interested-in-Ben-Wallace" target="_blank">Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press</a> says the Pistons have no interest in Wallace.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #fa8072;">&#8220;a person with knowledge of the situation said today that the Pistons are not looking at Wallace, 34, because his career appears to be on the decline.&#8221;</span></p>
