Ben Wallace hires new agent in Tellem

CLEVELAND -- Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace has hired Arn Tellem, one of the most powerful agents in the NBA, to represent him when he becomes a free agent this summer.

Shortly after Wallace fired his long-time agent Steve Kaufmann earlier in the season, he was flooded with inquiries from agents.

The decision to hire Tellem will surely raise some eyebrows about the possibility that Wallace, who is expected to re-sign with Detroit, might be willing to entertain offers from other teams when he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

However, Wallace said his intentions are the same as they were before he hired Tellem.

"It hasn't changed me," Wallace said. "Or how I approach going into this summer with the free agency or anything like that."
