Ben Wallace has agreed to terms with the Chicago Bulls. Rumored terms appear to be $60 million for 4 years.  With the Detroit Pistons, Wallace was a rebounding machine, leading the league several years in boards.  He also has been named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year four times.  The Bulls frontline is vastly improved with the signing of Wallace and the draft pick of super-freak athlete Tyrus Thomas from LSU.

“I appreciate everything Detroit did for me and my family,” he told the newspaper Monday night. “They gave me an opportunity to make a name for myself and we had an opportunity to win a championship together.”

During the regular season this past year, he ranked fourth in the NBA in rebounding (11.3), ninth in blocks (2.2) and 10th in steals (1.78) – the only player among the top 10 in all three categories. The undrafted free agent from Virginia Union became the fifth player in league history to have 100 blocks and 100 steals in six straight seasons, a list that includes Hakeem Olajuwon, Julius Erving, Sam Lacey and David Robinson.
