According to the trade machine, Ben Wallace + Joe Smith = Shaq.
Folks in Chicago have never warmed up to Big Ben, a hard-working guy battling age and injuries who can't help but feel the lack of love in his new home. Shaq is declining and battling injuries of his own.
Miami could use some defensive spark and Chicago desperately needs an inside offensive presence. A trade might give both of these guys an opportunity to take some time off and heal in transition, and get fresh starts in new locations.
This works by the numbers if you throw Joe Smith into the mix, according to the trade machine.
