"I'm going to sit down and talk with my family, weigh my options and come up with a decision," the 34-year-old Wallace said after Cleveland's 103-90 loss. "Nothing's definite, but there's a strong possibility that this was my last season."
Wallace has one year and $14 million left on his contract. He has not yet spoken with Cavaliers management about retirement or a buyout.
"I haven't talked to Ben at all about his future," said general manager Danny Ferry, who was surprised to hear about Wallace's comments.
Wallace, a veteran of 13 seasons, sighted his declining health as a major reason he may hang up his sneakers. He missed 25 games due to injury this season, sitting out with a right forearm laceration, a fractured right fibula, a bruised left knee and a strained left patella tendon.
"It's tough being on the sidelines when you're banged up," he said. "Then you've got to put in all that work to get back in the rotation. It's becoming a young man's game."
If Wallace chooses to retire, he will almost certainly seek a buyout since retiring outright would cost him next season's salary. But he said money will not be the determining factor in his decision.
"I think I deserve [a buyout]," Wallace said. "But if I don't get one and I've just got to give it up, that's what I'll do."
Da clar - Dar trebuie Deng si Noah/Miller
Ca dup`aia raman suns fara C`s!
Si sincer Noah e destul de valoros ! Miller e si el an ageless player , hate him , but whatever !
Bulls cu Rose-Ben/Kirk-Salmons-Ty.Thomas-Shaq of the bench Miller/Noah Tim Thomas (work on the bench is needed)
Suns cu Nash-J.Rich-Deng-Amare-Noah/Miller off the bench Barbosa/Barnes/Lopez/"Hammerhead" Amundson/Dragic/Dudley
Parca sunt mai castigati Suns ! Ca Bulls ramane fara bench !
"The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot."
nu si daca suns vor sa economiseasca bani. krik si deng au contracte pe termen lung. iar scopul principal al lui suns e sa economiseasca bani.
daca nu era asa, poate pastrau pick-ul ala cu care bulls l-au draftat pe deng (a fost cumparat de la suns).
la buyout tot pierzi niste bani, si depinde la citi bani ii cere echipa sa renunte. daca echipa ii zice "renunti la 5 mil", nu stiu daca va fi prea grabit sa o faca.
please, do it already.
mi se rupe inima de mila lui ca 14-15 mil pe sezon nu il mai motiveaza suficient pt a mai juca un sezon.
Now this, my friend, is gonna be fun
Houston also seems to be very active in trade talk, particularly trying to move Tracy McGrady we’re told. McGrady will be out for the first 20-30 games of the regular season, but there is some thought that he might be able to help a playoff team down the stretch, particularly since he’s in a contract year. Its tough to see how many teams would be able to absorb the 20+ million dollars he’s owed next season. The New York Knicks might be one of them. Houston would be looking for a shooting guard in return.

de la knicks numai varianta asta ar merge daca houston vor un SG
Phil Jackson (June 17th, 2009):"What was our model of this team? The Ring, the ring, that was the model. Its not just this band of gold, its the circle that's made a bond between all of these players, a great love for one another, its a great feeling."
Dalembert going to Bobcats?
"This one has Dalembert going to the Charlotte Bobcats for ex-Sixers center Nazr Mohammed and forward Vladimir Radmanovic, with the Sixers either getting a second-round pick in the June 25 NBA Draft or swapping first-round picks (17 for 12) with the Bobcats. "

Cat despre "Hedo" Türkoğlu - eu cred ca ramane la Magic , dar pentru asta trebuie sa il lase pe Alston !

We wont be out-tanked!!!
la 11 milioane e dus sigur gordon
Nu credeam ca vreun trade care il include pe Dalembert poate fi rau pt Sixers dar ala e chiar nasol.Dalembert e mare, atletic,poa sa se apare ,sa recupereze si sa puna capace.Nazr si Radmanovic sunt GARBAGE care nu folosesc la absolut nimic si a caror contracte insumate =contractul lui Daly.Mai bine un jucator overpaid si util decat 2 inutili(si ambii overpaid zic eu).

Suns to trade Amare for Al Jefferson + 6th pick
http://www.boston.com/sports/basketb...son_on_mo.html
The dumbest think ... care l-ar putea face cei de la Wolves
Poate fara 6th pick ! Si tot cred ca Al owns Amare ! Oricum amandoi sunt offensive oriented !
@Irimus - In Dalembert au un defensive Center , cu experienta - Radmanovic si Nazr are JUNK!
"The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot."
eu nu l-as da pe al jeferson nici straight up pt amare.

Rumor...
Oricum Wolves n-au cum sa-l semneze, iar sa il dai pe cel mai bun tanar big man + lotery pick pentru un an de Amare e Zekeish.
Ar fi primul lucru inteligent pentru Sarver ! A BIG FRIKIN` STEAL cu 6th pick
Poate sa il dea pe Al pentru Amar'e and 14th pick - si nici asa nu e agreabil
.. chiar nu ma gandesc la nici o posibilitate pentru Amare for Jefferson ... + ca Amare are un contract mult mai mare !
"The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot."
Stiti cum e...Kahn cred ca e noul GM de la Wolves. E evident ca vrea sa faca lucrurile in his own way. Nu el a investit in Al.
E dumb sa-l dai pe Al-Jeff pt Amar'e dar cand vine un incuiat de asta care are "planul" lui nu cred ca e imposibil sa se intample una ca asta.
Sa includa si 6th picku? Doar nu vor wolves sa-l lase pe Foye PG of the future. Foye e SG si are nevoie de un ball handler langa el.
PS: Cand am fazut dimineata Jefferson am crezut ca explodez de fericire dar apoi am vazut numele Amare si am revenit pe pamant
We wont be out-tanked!!!
