Four Score and Seven Tears

Well, an extra $12 million was enough to bring Ben Wallace over to the Bulls in free agency as of last night. Bulls fans are understandably jizzing themselves, but Detroit fan reactions range from hatred to tears. From Need4Sheed.com, here's a gem from the comments:

Last night i was pissed off when I found out Ben Wallace signed with the Bulls and as i look at all of this I was just thinking if Darko was still here he could have started in Big Ben's place. When the Pistons made the trade for Calvin Kato it could come bite the pistons in the ass because with that trade we really didnt get anything in return. When Darko played for the Magic he was doing pretty well now that been is gone everything is screwed up this year free agents there arnt any good centers and why would u want to start McDyess when hes one of our best bench players? It is going to be hard to overcome this.

Okay, if that was a little jumbled, allow me to illuminate: Read that one more time, this time using the voice of a betrayed cheerleader, with the hysteria and pitch of her voice raising with each word. Yes, that's what this signing did to Detroit fans.

John Paxson was unavailable for comment as to whether the Bulls will also be pursuing a trade for Milicic.
