"Ben Wallace, who will be a free agent this summer, has hired an agent -- Arn Tellem. Tellem has a reputation of being a tough negotiator, though Wallace said that doesn't mean he expects any complications in hammering out a deal with the Pistons. "Nah, that's not the case at all," Wallace said. "Sometimes you just need somebody else to talk for you and help take your heart and emotions out of things."
"Wallace fired his previous agent, Steve Kaufman, earlier this season, partly because Kaufman wanted to continue getting 4 percent of Wallace's salary. Wallace will pay Tellem an hourly charge for services rendered."
"It's just business," Wallace said. "We sat down and had a meeting and the way he presented himself compared to the other guys I thought was best for me."
