Ben Wallace wants to return but Pistons’ roster is full

Ben Wallace thinks he’s got one more year in him.

The Pistons big man has said he would come back and play for the Detroit or retire and now he wants to come back — except the Detroit roster is full, reports the Detroit News.

That really leaves Wallace — the former Defensive Player of the Year — with two options: Wait for the Pistons to open a roster spot up with a trade or play somewhere else.

A trade is possible, but likely not until training camp at the earliest and more likely into the season. The Pistons have been rumored to be willing to move Austin Daye or Charlie Villanueva, but Villanueva’s contract makes his move unlikely (at least until next year when he is an expiring contract). Daye has not impressed the past couple years (he shot 32 percent overall and 21 percent from three last season), but entering the final year of his contract a team may be willing to roll the dice. However, there are no talks to speak of going on.

And can you picture Wallace on another team at this point?

I get the feeling at this point the Pistons are moving on, but Wallace’s return is something that Pistons fans may want to watch.

Put Macklin's or Middleton ass in the D-League

The Detroit Pistons has signed 2012 second-round draft selection Khris Middleton to a contract.

Middleton, who was selected as an early-entry candidate with the 39th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, played three seasons at Texas A&M averaging 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 87 career games.

probably the roster spot that ben cant get.

Hopefully we make a trade or something.

According to gazzetta.gr that cites exclusive info, Panathinaikos is trying to bring Ben Wallace! Yes. Ben Wallace.

The 38-year old has 16 years of NBA experience behind him and is reportedly topping Argyris Pedoulakis’ list in the search for a big guy. Wallace is a four-time “Defensive Player of the Year” award winner in the NBA.
