Who is at fault?
Ben Wallace has decided to leave the Detroit Pistons and sign with the Chicago Bulls. Apparently, at issue here was the Pistons "disrespectful" offer of four years, $48,000,000. Or so was said publicly. Before you think that I'm going to churn out the typical "rich athlete" rant, think again. Personally, I don't care if an athlete turns down one multi-million dollar offer for another that's even higher. If you want the coin, go get it.
No, my posting is a simple question as to who is to blame for Wallace leaving Detroit. Is it Wallace himself for going for the even bigger payday? Is it Joe Dumars for offering the lower contract? No. I'm going to put forth a thought that you won't hear anywhere else in the media, because they are ALL bought and paid for by one man. There is only one person to blame - David Hall!!!
I think Wallace got tired of seeing Hall everywhere, particularly at the Palace. After all, Wallace wasn't the face of the Pistons, it is Hall. Perhaps he was afraid that his commercials with Chauncey Billups would come true and that Hall would suit up and play. Maybe Wallace was afraid that he'd have to appear in more embarrassing TV commercials with Billups and Hall. Or maybe, as a last straw, it was Hall's latest billboard touting 'The Real Estate Insiders' (it's on I-94, and looks creepy with Hall's arm around another man). Point is, you can't escape David Hall. Unless you're a free agent.

Great conspiracy theory! If the reason Ben left is David Hall who could blame the guy as he’s driving everyone nuts...he’s worse than that “Where’s Waldo” guy. I for one feel it's the greedy sports man syndrome though. His wife dictates his hair so she probably dictates the cash flow as well…the real question is who wears the pants? I think we can thank Mrs. Ben for this, not David Hall (cheese man) or Joe D (should have offered more $$$)! He was loved and adored by Detroit's fans! He’s a looser for leaving, I now boycott the fro!
